- Perform functional, regression, integration, system, compatibility, performance, reliability, and usability testing.
- Test physical devices, hardware components, sensors, interfaces, embedded firmware, and hardware-software interactions under normal, edge-case, and real-world conditions.
- Test web and mobile applications, embedded software, APIs, and cloud-connected features across supported platforms and configurations.
- Validate device connectivity and data transfer across Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, GPS, TCP/IP, MQTT, and other applicable protocols.
- Test firmware and over-the-air update flows, including installation success, interruption and recovery, restart behavior, version compatibility, downgrade/upgrade paths, and data retention.
- Analyze device, application, crash, and firmware logs to investigate failures; reproduce issues and communicate clear technical findings.
- Identify, document, prioritize, and track defects in Jira or a comparable tool; verify fixes and run regression testing before release.
- Maintain complete test evidence, defect records, quality documentation, release-readiness status, known issues, and risk assessments.
- Conduct field or environmental testing when required,



including power-loss, temperature, vibration, long-duration, connectivity, and recovery scenarios.
- Partner with hardware engineers, firmware and software developers, product managers, and support teams to resolve issues and strengthen product quality.
- Contribute to improvements in QA processes, test coverage, test automation, and release practices.

Required Qualifications & Skills

- 4 years of experience in QA, software testing, hardware testing, embedded testing, or a related role; equivalent practical experience may be considered.
- Strong manual testing experience and the ability to write precise, comprehensive, and easy-to- follow test cases.
- Working knowledge of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), defect life cycle, and release testing.
- Experience testing both software applications and physical hardware devices, including hardware-software integration and embedded or firmware-based systems.
- Understanding of device connectivity and communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, TCP/IP, MQTT, GPS, and data-transfer workflows.
- Basic understanding of electronics, circuits, sensors, firmware, and hardware test equipment.
- Experience with defect-tracking and test-management tools, preferably Jira,



plus familiarity with Git or another version-control system.
- Experience testing APIs with Postman or a similar tool.
- Ability to analyze logs, troubleshoot failures, reproduce issues reliably, and report findings clearly.
- Strong analytical, documentation, communication, and problem-solving skills.
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Electronics, IT, or a related field; equivalent experience may be considered.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience testing IoT, consumer-electronics, automotive, camera, mobile, web, or cloud-connected products.
- Experience with test automation tools such as Selenium, Appium, Playwright, or similar frameworks.
- Basic scripting ability in Python, Java, JavaScript, or Shell.
- Experience with Agile/Scrum delivery practices.
- Knowledge of performance, security, reliability, storage, power-loss recovery, image/video quality, or environmental testing.
- Awareness of privacy and data-protection considerations for connected devices and user data.
