Embedded Systems Testing
We are seeking a QA Lead with deep expertise in embedded systems testing to drive quality strategy, execution, and continuous improvement across complex hardware software platforms. The ideal candidate has hands-on technical experience testing embedded and IoT systems and proven ability to lead test planning, risk assessment, and collaboration across development and hardware teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead quality assurance activities for embedded and connected systems such as HVAC controllers, set-top boxes, telecommunications equipment (routers, modems, switches), industrial automation, robotics, and avionics systems.
- Define and execute end-to-end test strategies, including integration, regression, and performance testing.
- Analyze system, application, and event logs to identify and diagnose software, firmware, and communication issues.
- Collaborate with development, DevOps, and hardware engineering teams to ensure defects are isolated, documented, and resolved efficiently.
- Develop, maintain, and automate test cases using shell scripting and Unix command-line tools.
- Validate backend communication protocols (APIs, web services, IoT message brokers) and ensure seamless data exchange between devices and cloud services.
- Monitor and report on QA metrics, ensuring visibility into quality trends, risks, and release readiness.
- Mentor and guide junior testers, fostering best practices in documentation, process discipline, and automation adoption.
Required Skills & Experience
- Strong hands-on experience testing embedded systems, IoT devices, or similar environments integrating hardware and software.
- Expertise with Unix/Linux environments, including shell scripting and command-line tools.
- Proficiency in at least one programming language, such as Java (preferred), Python, or C/C++.
- In-depth knowledge of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), QA methodologies, and defect management processes.
- Experience testing backend integrations, APIs, and communication protocols for device connectivity.
- Proven ability to analyze logs, identify system bottlenecks, and propose corrective actions.
- Strong analytical mindset, detail orientation, and problem-solving skills.
- Demonstrated ability to work independently, prioritize multiple tasks, and lead cross-functional QA initiatives.
- Familiarity with automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience in regulated or safety-critical domains (automotive, robotics, aerospace).
- Understanding of performance and reliability testing methodologies.
