  • Design and run regression suites for firmware drops; coordinate HIL/smoke checks for field-critical features (alarms, data logging, DataSync/backfill).
  • Partner with Firmware Engineering on root-cause analysis; verify fixes and prevent regressions.
  • Support RMA investigations with structured failure analysis and corrective action verification. (Youll be teamed with a firmware engineer for deep device-level debug as needed.)
  • Track quality metrics (escape rate, MTTR for defects, test coverage, reliability signals) and present concise readouts to stakeholders.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of QA process, templates, and checklists.

Required Skills:

Exposure to embedded/IoT stacks (ESP32/STM32, LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi/BLE); hands-on with SWD/JTAG, logic analyzers, or oscilloscopes.
