Headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, Moultrie ( www.moultrie.com ) is the leader in game feeders and cellular camera innovation, building products used by hunters, property owners, and others for real-time remote monitoring. We take pride in developing deep user understanding, obsessing about the details, and going the extra mile to show our users we love them. Moultrie is customer-driven – hardware, software, marketing, and customer success teams collaborate to deliver a quality user experience.

We are guided by the following principles: Customer Obsession.; Excellence is the Standard.; Bias for Action.; Act Boldly.; Deliver Results.; Hire and Develop the Best.; Be Curious and Learn.; Win as a Team

Job Summary

The Quality Test Technician builds and runs the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test systems that replace
manual hardware testing across Moultrie's cellular cameras, game feeders, and related products. This
role takes existing manual test suites, converts them into automated fixtures and scripts, and keeps
those systems running reliably for development products, current product lines, and competitive benchmarking.

The Quality Test Technician designs fixtures, writes test code, and owns the results: reporting findings
clearly to engineers and multiple levels of management. They must be self-motivated, detail oriented,
and able to follow, document, and create procedures. As a "high confidence, low ego" team player, the Technician works with hardware and software engineers, product managers, and our ODM partners to ensure testing is consistent, thorough, and repeatable. They adapt quickly to new programming languages, tools, and products, and manage multiple projects at once.

Job Responsibilities

Test automation and HIL development

• Convert manual hardware test suites into automated hardware-in-the-loop tests, prioritizing the highest-volume and most repetitive tests first.
• Write and maintain PC-side test scripts in Python (or other languages) that control fixtures, drive devices under test, and capture results.
• Design, wire, and assemble test fixtures using dev boards such as Arduino, Teensy, and Adafruit, plus relays, power supplies, and instruments.
• Develop wiring diagrams and program layouts for each fixture.
• 3D print fixture components and perform basic electrical work (soldering, low-voltage circuit wiring).

Test execution and validation

• Test electronic devices for functionality, standards compliance, and performance across development, production, and competitive products.
• Verify product specifications against automated and, where still required, manual test results.
• Troubleshoot bugs and validate fixes in firmware, app, and hardware releases.
• Deep dive into nuisance and intermittent issues to help our ODM partners find root cause.

Monitoring and maintenance

• Monitor automated test runs for failures, flaky tests, and coverage gaps; drive improvements.
• Perform routine maintenance and calibration of test benches, fixtures, equipment, instruments, and the lab.

Documentation and reporting

• Write detailed test procedures for each automated and manual test, and keep them current as fixtures change.
• Record test results and generate clear reports for engineers, product managers, and management.
• Track how much manual testing has been retired and the test time saved.

Job Requirements

Basic Qualifications

• High School Diploma or GED required.
• 1–2 years of experience in PC-based programming, consumer electronics testing, or a related field.
• Working experience with Python.
• Solid understanding of electronics and circuitry.
• Able to follow, document, and create test procedures.
• Able to work flexible hours.
• At least one year of experience with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate degree in Technology, Electronics, or a related field.
• 2–4 years of experience in consumer electronics testing, software programming, or a related field.
• Experience building or maintaining automated or hardware-in-the-loop test systems.
• Experience with microcontroller dev boards (Arduino, Teensy, Adafruit) and lab instruments (multimeters, power supplies, oscilloscopes).
• Familiarity with verification methods, testing, and troubleshooting processes.
• Experience with 3D printing and basic CAD for fixture design.
• Passionate about the outdoors.
• Able to work independently as well as within a team.
