Overview
We are looking for a senior test leader to define and own end-to-end test strategies and validation frameworks for complex software-hardware systems.

  • Review test coverage, results, and gaps; drive continuous improvement
  • Mentor engineers on test design, best practices, and quality mindset

Skill Sets:

  • Strong systems thinking (able to reason across firmware, OS, apps, sensors, connectivity, and user interaction)
  • Proven ability to design test plans from ambiguous or early requirements
  • Hands-on understanding of validation frameworks, automation tools, and lab setups
  • Clear communicator who can explain risk and quality tradeoffs to technical and non-technical teams

Nice to Have:
