ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The statements in this job description are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by incumbents. The list is not an exhaustive list of all responsibilities, duties, and skills required by all incumbents. Incumbents may perform other duties as assigned.

• Design, build, and maintain automated test setups for firmware deployed on smart power distribution panels and optical routing platforms.
• Validate embedded communication protocols, including SNMP, Modbus, REST APIs, TCP/IP, CAN, MQTT, and HTTPS, for accurate telemetry, remote monitoring, and control.
• Conduct hardware-in-the-loop testing, edge-case fault insertion, power-cycle resilience testing, and firmware regression cycles.
• Build and maintain automated UI test frameworks using tools such as Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright for embedded web interfaces and network-management software.
• Validate real-time data synchronization, telemetry visualization, alert notifications, API behavior, browser compatibility, and user-permission hierarchies.
• Lead the transition from manual testing to scalable automation pipelines integrated with CI/CD workflows.
• Create and maintain test strategies, test plans, test cases, traceability records, and validation reports for major software and firmware releases.
• Partner with firmware, hardware, and web engineering teams to identify, document, reproduce, and resolve defects early in the development cycle.
• Perform root cause analysis on field issues and internal failures using logic analyzers, serial debuggers, digital multimeters, and packet-capture tools such as Wireshark.
• Support compliance of software and firmware releases with applicable enterprise security, quality, and telecom-industry requirements, and perform other duties as assigned.
