Mechatronics QA Engineer

Responsibilities

• Execute manual and automated test cases for complex mechatronic systems across laboratory and field environments, ensuring system functionality and performance.
• Perform end-to-end validation of integrated mechanical, electrical, and embedded software components.
• Develop detailed test plans, test strategies, procedures, and validation protocols for system-level testing activities.
• Conduct component integration testing and verify interactions between hardware, electronics, firmware, and embedded systems.
• Troubleshoot system-level issues by analyzing mechanical, electrical, and software components to identify root causes.
• Perform root cause analysis (RCA) for defects and failures, collaborating with engineering teams to implement corrective actions.
• Document test results, maintain test reports, and ensure accurate tracking of validation activities and system performance metrics.
• Log, track, and manage defects using test management and bug-tracking tools while supporting issue resolution workflows.
• Support user acceptance testing (UAT), field validation, and performance testing to ensure product readiness.
• Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies, including sprint planning, defect reviews, and daily stand-ups, while supporting test setup and teardown activities.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, electrical, embedded software, and systems engineering teams to improve product quality.
• Mentor junior QA engineers, contribute to QA process improvements, and support field testing initiatives requiring up to 20% travel.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in software testing, preferably in a mechatronics or embedded systems environment.
• Experience with test automation tools and methodologies.
• Strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, and software principles and their interactions.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• Proficiency in test management and bug-tracking tools.
• Ability to perform both lab-based and field-based testing.
• Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies is a plus.
