About the Role

We’re looking for a QA Engineer to help ensure Nosh delivers a reliable cooking experience across our hardware, firmware, on-device Android application, and mobile app.

Nosh is a smart cooking device that runs Android with a dedicated application, while embedded firmware controls various physical cooking operations. Users can also monitor and control Nosh remotely through our mobile application.

This is a hands-on product QA role. You’ll work with actual Nosh devices, test real cooking scenarios, find corner cases, validate current features, and ensure software and firmware work correctly together.

What You’ll Do

- Test Nosh end-to-end across hardware, firmware, Android app, and mobile app.
- Test new features before release and perform regression testing on existing functionality.
- Design and execute test cases for real-world cooking scenarios and unusual corner cases.
- Try to break the product by testing unexpected user behavior and failure conditions.
- Test scenarios such as power interruptions, Wi-Fi loss, device restarts, incorrect user actions, interrupted cooking, delayed commands, and connectivity recovery.
- Test the Android application running directly on the Nosh device.
- Test remote monitoring and control of Nosh through our mobile application.
- Verify synchronization between the physical Nosh device and mobile app.
- Validate the accuracy, timing, repeatability, and reliability of firmware-controlled operations.
- Verify that software commands result in the expected physical device behavior.
- Test sensors, motors, heaters, actuators, and other firmware-controlled components.
- Reproduce issues and work closely with software, firmware, hardware, and product teams to identify root causes.




- Write clear bug reports with reproduction steps, logs, videos/images, and relevant device/software/firmware information.
- Verify bug fixes and help determine release readiness.

What We’re Looking For

- Experience in QA/software testing with strong fundamentals in test-case design and regression testing.
- Experience testing Android & iOS applications.
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to think beyond the happy path and identify unusual real-world scenarios.
- Comfortable testing and debugging physical products.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to clearly document issues.
- Interest in working across software, firmware, hardware, and IoT systems.

Good to Have

- Experience testing IoT, embedded, robotics, appliances, or connected consumer products.
- Familiarity with ADB, Logcat, Postman, REST APIs, MQTT, WebSockets, Bluetooth/BLE, or Wi-Fi debugging.
- Experience testing embedded firmware.
- Experience validating sensors, motors, heaters, or other electromechanical systems.
- Basic Python or scripting knowledge for test automation.
- Experience with Android/mobile test automation.
- Familiarity with OTA software/firmware updates.

Who Will Do Well in This Role We’re looking for someone who is naturally curious about how a product can fail, not just whether the expected flow works.

You should enjoy asking questions like:

What happens if Wi-Fi disconnects in the middle of cooking? What if the user sends a command from the mobile app while something else is happening on the device? What if the device restarts midway through a recipe? Did the firmware actually perform an operation accurately, or did the software simply report that it did?

- If you enjoy finding these kinds of problems before customers do, we’d love to talk.
