• UUT identification

• Firmware flashing & verification

• BLE communication setup

• Built-In Self Test (BIST)

• NFC tests

• LED tests

• Power measurement

• Build and maintain scalable validation tools and test jigs from prototype through mass production.

• Design automated test software in Python for functional, electrical, RF, and system-level validation.

Automation Infrastructure

• Create frameworks for continuous validation, reproducible tests, remote debugging, and OTA-based test configurations.

• Integrate automated test flows with backend systems such as MongoDB, BigQuery SQL, and cloud reporting dashboards.

• Implement automated data collection, storage, analysis, and traceability pipelines.

Hands-On Debug & Collaboration

• Perform hands-on hardware debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal generators, power analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and other lab equipment.

• Collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, mechanical, systems, and field teams to align test requirements and resolve multi-disciplinary issues.

• Document test requirements, architecture, interfaces, validation flows, and troubleshooting methods.

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of experience in hardware validation, production test development, IoT, embedded systems, or related roles.

• BSc in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.

• Strong Python programming skills (OOP, scripting, automation frameworks).

• Experience developing automated test systems for hardware or IoT devices.

• Hands-on experience with lab equipment: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal generators, power analyzers, spectrum analyzers.

• Familiarity with BLE, NFC, or other short-range wireless protocols.

• Experience with Linux/Unix environments, command-line tools, and Git.

• Strong analytical and debugging skills, with the ability to work independently and in cross-functional teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience with production/manufacturing test development or high-volume hardware testing.

• Knowledge of IoT cloud environments (AWS IoT, Azure IoT) and device provisioning.

• Familiarity with database systems, data pipelines, or cloud reporting tools.

• Test automation frameworks (Robot Framework, pytest, etc.).

• Experience with regulated industries (medical, military, aerospace).
Additional languages such as Go or Rust for tooling.

• Experience with factory provisioning, traceability, or end-of-line (EOL) testing.

Perks

• Stock options

• Paid parental leave

• Flex PTO
