About Winixx

Winixx Inc. is a New York-based technology holding company operating a portfolio of over 35 SaaS platforms across freight, fleet management, financial infrastructure, and market intelligence. We are now building WinixxOS — a distinctive, AOSP-based operating system powering a full lineup of consumer hardware including phones, tablets, smartwatches, POS devices, and gaming consoles. Founded with a mission to modernize fragmented and underserved industries, Winixx builds technology that removes inefficiencies, creates transparency, and puts more value in the hands of the people doing the actual work. This is early-stage, high-ownership platform engineering — you would be shaping foundational decisions for a new OS, not implementing someone else's spec.

Role Summary

The Hardware Test Engineer owns validation and quality assurance for WinixxOS across our full hardware lineup — phones, tablets, smartwatches, POS devices, and gaming consoles — building the test infrastructure and processes that catch integration issues before they reach production.

What You'll Do

• Design and execute test plans for hardware/software integration across all device classes
• Build and maintain automated test infrastructure for HAL and driver validation
• Perform bring-up validation and regression testing on new hardware prototypes as they move through development
• Validate POS-specific hardware (payment terminals, scanners) and console-specific hardware (controllers) against spec
• Track, document, and triage hardware-related defects in coordination with the Hardware Integration team
• Develop stress, reliability, and environmental test protocols for consumer hardware
• Maintain test coverage documentation and reporting across the product line
• Collaborate with the Security team on validating secure hardware integration (TEE, secure elements)

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in hardware test engineering, QA, or validation, ideally for consumer electronics or mobile devices
• Experience building or operating automated hardware/software test infrastructure
• Familiarity with AOSP or Android-based platform testing is a strong advantage
• Experience with bring-up validation of new hardware prototypes
• Strong attention to detail and rigorous documentation habits
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience

• Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
• Performance bonus program tied to individual and company milestones
• Visa sponsorship available for the right talent
• Full-time role with a minimum one-year commitment
• Front-row seat at a company building a new OS and hardware ecosystem from the ground up
• Collaborative, mission-driven team environment
• Paid time off and company holidays
• Professional development and continuing education support
