· Manage lab equipment inventory and availability.

· Run automated test suites, review results, troubleshoot failures, and resolve issues.

· Support QA and development teams with test setup, hardware preparation, and triage.

· Develop and maintain test automation frameworks (API, UI, and system-level).

· Integrate test automation into CI/CD workflows using Jenkins, Bitbucket, and Docker.

· Use tools like Wireshark and network analyzers to debug communication and firmware-level issues.

· Contribute to test planning, regression, and release validation.

· Apply best practices for testing, automation, and lab infrastructure management.

Your Experience and Background include

· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related field.

· 5+ years of experience in QA or test infrastructure roles, including 3 + years in automation and lab management.

· Experience testing firmware and embedded systems in a lab environment.

· Experience setting up, maintaining, and wiring test rigs and equipment.

· Use of multimeters and/or logic analyzers for low-level hardware debugging.

· Work with serial communication protocols such as RS-485 and OSDP.

· Solid understanding of networking fundamentals including TCP and UDP.

· Write and maintain automation scripts.

· Proficient in scripting using Bash and Shell environments.

· Work with CI/CD pipelines and tools such as Jenkins, Git, and Docker.

· Use Wireshark to diagnose protocol or network issues.

· Familiarity with QA processes and testing approaches such as black, gray, and white box testing.

· Experience using tools like TestRail and JIRA within Agile development environments

· Experience with API testing, system integration, and longevity testing.
