Must-Have Skills

- Manual Testing
- Hardware Device Testing - experience with physical devices such as transit devices, medical devices, PoS systems, scanners, or similar products. Mobile application/mobile device testing alone is not considered relevant.
- API Testing - hands-on experience with tools such as Postman or equivalent.
- Database Testing - strong SQL and backend data validation experience.
- Basic Automation Testing - hands-on experience executing or maintaining automated test scripts/frameworks.

Please make sure candidates meet all five must-have requirements before submitting profiles. We are specifically looking for candidates with hands-on experience testing real-world hardware/software products or systems, rather than candidates whose experience is primarily web or mobile application testing.
