• Document test results, failures, and troubleshooting findings with clear written reports, photographs, and measurements.
• Review written and on-screen work instructions, identify inaccuracies, and provide feedback to improve testing procedures and documentation.

Requirements

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in electrical, firmware, or electronics testing laboratories
• Experience with firmware flashing, functional testing, and regression testing
• Proficiency using electrical testing equipment, including multimeters, oscilloscopes, electronic loads, and data loggers
• Ability to follow established technical test procedures accurately and document findings clearly
