• Perform manual system‑level, functional, and acceptance testing on embedded systems software (C) and supporting desktop applications (C#/.NET).
• Collaborate with R&D, Manufacturing, and other teams to define and implement testing strategies.
• Develop written verification test protocols and document/report test results in line with regulatory and internal standards.
• Review requirements and design documentation to ensure technical accuracy, testability, and uphold quality advocacy throughout development.
• Analyze field failures, establish repeatability, work with the development team on root‑cause resolution, and verify corrections before release.

What We Want to See

• At least 5 years of software quality assurance experience.
• At least 3–4 years testing desktop tools and/or embedded systems/hardware.
• Experience with electronic test equipment (power supplies, DMMs, oscilloscopes, etc.) and troubleshooting electrical and firmware issues on circuits/hardware.
• Strong understanding of QA principles and processes, particularly within regulated environments (e.g., FAA, SEC, DoD, Title 21 CFR Part 11).
• Excellent analytical, problem‑solving, and investigative skills.
• Self‑motivated, able to work independently and collaboratively, and able to lead testing efforts for a project.
• Effective written communication skills for presenting methods and observations.

Ways to Stand Out

• Proficiency in Linux/Unix environments.
• Experience in firmware or software development.
• Programming experience in Python, C/C++, .NET/C#, MySQL.
