Job Summary
Quality at Moultrie isn't a checkbox — it's built into how we work. As a Senior Test Automation Engineer, you'll own the test infrastructure that keeps our connected camera platform reliable from the mobile app all the way down to embedded firmware.Job Responsibilities
Test Automation & CI/CD
- Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks that exercise the complete system loop — mobile app through cloud infrastructure down to embedded camera firmware and back.
- Build and maintain CI pipelines that automatically trigger relevant test suites on code commits, pull requests, and scheduled intervals across firmware, cloud, and application repositories.
- Integrate real camera hardware into CI pipelines, including remote device management, automated flashing and provisioning, and recovery from device faults without manual intervention.
Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Testing
- Design and operate HIL test environments that combine real embedded hardware with automated software test execution, enabling realistic simulation of device behavior at scale.
- Model and simulate environmental conditions, signal states, power events, and external stimuli within a HIL framework to reliably reproduce real-world edge cases.
- Interface with camera hardware.
Camera Test Interfaces & Command Protocols
- Develop and work with dedicated test and debug ports on embedded devices.
- Design and implement test command protocols.
Full-Loop Integration & Connectivity Testing
- Architect end-to-end integration tests.
- Build automated test coverage for connectivity scenarios.
- Collaborate with firmware, cloud, and mobile app engineers.
Stability & Soak Testing
- Design and run long-duration stability test campaigns for connected devices, defining pass/fail criteria, monitoring resource consumption, and detecting gradual degradation patterns.
- Build automated watchdog and recovery mechanisms.
- Maintain a comprehensive test results dashboard.
Job Requirements
- 7+ years of experience building and maintaining automated test frameworks for embedded, IoT, or connected hardware products.
- Hands-on experience with CI platforms such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure Pipelines — including pipeline configuration, test triggering, and failure notification.
- Demonstrated experience designing and operating HIL test environments with real embedded hardware.
- Experience developing or working with dedicated test and debug ports.
- Deep experience architecting end-to-end integration tests that span mobile app, cloud backend, and embedded device layers.
- Experience designing and running long-duration stability and soak test campaigns for connected devices.
- Scripting proficiency for test development, hardware interface automation, and log analysis.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on experience.
Bonus Points
- Background in embedded systems or firmware development.
- Familiarity with Azure IoT Hub, Log Analytics, and Application Insights for validating cloud-side behavior during automated test execution.
- Experience with MQTT protocol testing.
- Knowledge of network simulation or traffic shaping tools to introduce controlled latency, packet loss, or bandwidth constraints during connectivity testing.
- Experience with containerized test environments (Docker, Kubernetes) for scalable cloud-side test execution.
- Familiarity with test management platforms such as TestRail, Zephyr, or Azure Test Plans.
- Experience with mobile app test automation frameworks such as Appium, Espresso, or XCUITest.
