Sr Quality Engineer, Embedded

Responsibilities

• Own quality for your area: Take accountability for your work product and the impact it has on the system and adjacent work products; help break down complex issues into manageable testing strategies.
• Drive cross-team collaboration: Proactively collaborate with partners outside your immediate team to evaluate options, align on quality risks, and support the best decision-making.
• Create clear, durable documentation: Produce written communication (test plans, test results, bug reports, and knowledge articles) that others can easily follow in tools like Confluence/Jira/Slack (or equivalents).
• Improve execution and outcomes: Scope and stage testing work into well-defined milestones, prioritize high-value coverage early, and actively avoid unnecessary scope creep.
• Champion customer experience: Identify high-impact issues quickly, validate fixes thoroughly, and advocate for the right bugs to be fixed to protect the end-user experience.
• Support automation efforts (as applicable): Identify areas that should be automated. Quickly determine the source of failures.
• Troubleshoot effectively: Apply structured troubleshooting approaches to isolate issues across software, hardware, networking, and environment factors.

• Hands-on experience with Linux and Python (comfortable working from the command line and creating/debugging scripts).
• Exposure to embedded devices and testing hardware/software interactions.
• Understanding of networking technologies such as Wi-Fi, cellular, and Z-Wave (or similar protocols) and how they impact behavior, performance, and reliability.
• Exposure to C and C++ (reading code, recognizing common defects, collaborating effectively with engineers).
• Troubleshooting mindset: exposure to common diagnostic approaches and techniques (log analysis, reproduction isolation, configuration/environment validation, etc.).
• Ability to triage issues, react well to change, work cross-functionally, and multi-task while protecting critical coverage.
• Solid verbal and written communication with a strong ability to document clearly and drive alignment.
