Payrate: $60.00 - $65.00/hr.
Summary:
We are seeking a Senior Test Automation Engineer to support software validation across Project Solara concept devices, builds, and release environments. Project Solara is Company's chip-to-cloud platform for agent-first devices, spanning portable and in-place form factors (such as the Badge and Desk concept devices) built on the AOSP-based Company Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP). This role will focus on designing and implementing automated test suites, improving test coverage, analyzing failures, and supporting release readiness.
The engineer will work closely with senior engineers, PMs, and engineering leads. They will own day-to-day test suite design, implementation, execution, and reporting, while contributing to broader automation framework design and implementation with guidance from experienced engineers on the team.
This role will be strongly supported by senior technical team members, who will provide guidance on automation strategy, framework architecture, device workflows, and complex failure analysis.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites for validating software across Project Solara concept devices, builds, and release environments.
- Build reusable automated tests covering functional, regression, smoke, performance, and release validation scenarios.
- Execute automated test plans, scenarios, scripts, and procedures.
- Analyze test results, investigate failures, reproduce issues, and provide clear diagnostic information to engineering teams.
- Ensure automated test coverage validates critical functionality, high-priority scenarios, and release-blocking risks.
- Develop and maintain test documentation, including test plans, procedures, scripts, execution reports, and coverage summaries.
- Partner with senior engineers and the engineering team to contribute to scalable test automation frameworks.
- Assist with framework implementation, integration, and maintenance under the direction of senior technical leads.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to support continuous validation and rapid feedback.
- Contribute to automation best practices, framework design discussions, and test infrastructure improvements.
- Identify, document, and escalate software defects, quality risks, and potential release blockers.
- Use bug tracking systems to document defects, provide reproduction steps, and track issue status.
- Monitor bug resolution efforts, verify fixes, and support issue closure.
- Maintain documentation of known defects, recurring failures, test gaps, and risk areas.
- Partner with project leadership to report automation coverage, test results, defect trends, and quality risks.
- Provide recommendations to improve test effectiveness, coverage, and product quality.
- Work with PMs and engineering leads to plan, coordinate, and execute automated validation for software releases.
- Support test scheduling and automation strategy in alignment with project scope, release milestones, and delivery dates.
- Execute release validation, regression testing, and post-release verification through automation.
- Provide actionable feedback on software stability, readiness, and outstanding risks.
- Deploy, configure, and maintain Project Solara concept/prototype devices and test environments for automated test execution.
- Conduct automated smoke tests to confirm device, build, and environment readiness across portable and in-place form factors.
- Document hardware configurations, test environments, automation setups, and related issues.
Qualifications
- Associate's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 5-7 years of relevant experience in software testing, test automation, or quality engineering.
- Experience designing, implementing, and maintaining automated test suites.
- Experience testing software across builds, devices, environments, or release pipelines.
- Experience with test documentation, including test plans, test scripts, test procedures, and test result reports.
- Ability to analyze test results, diagnose failures, and provide actionable recommendations.
- Experience documenting defects in bug tracking systems and collaborating with software developers through resolution.
- Familiarity with CI/CD test integration and automated validation workflows.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work closely with engineering, PM, and project leadership teams.
- Android / AOSP experience strongly preferred -- Project Solara devices run on MDEP, an AOSP-based enterprise OS, so prior Android platform or device testing experience is a significant advantage.
Skills
- Software engineering - 5 years
- Software automated testing, specifically Android Test Automation (provisioning, configuring, and running software on physical/prototype devices) - 1 year
- Ability to independently drive technical work and deliver value - 3 years
- Experience with Android/Kotlin or C or other strongly-typed languages - there will be a coding test, please ensure candidates have this skillset
