A Software Quality Assurance (QA) Analyst is responsible for the development, maintenance, and execution of software test plans and programs for testing with an additional focus on the development and maintenance of test standards with the R&D department.
As members of the R&D group, Software QA Analysts will work in small cross-functional scrum teams alongside software developers and FPGA developers.
The Software QA Analyst maintains clear and concise communication of tests and results, assists in debugging, analyzes test artifacts to ensure existing functionality, recommends corrective action, and promotes a test-forward approach to development within their scrum team.
The Software QA Analyst consults with other developers to discuss the testability of features and to ensure the timely resolution of problems.

Additional aspects include supporting software developers through prototype testing, debugging, and analysis of results.
More experienced Software QA Analysts may have increased responsibilities in the area of test environment definition, designing product-specific test strategies, and/or defining test automation requirements.

Discuss testability of features and provide feedback to software/FPGA developers
Be an active participant in the development of test policies and processes alongside others in R&D.
Provide clear communication and records to developers and other stakeholders to aid in the definition of processes, repeatability of tests, analyses of performance, and debugging of issues.
Provide design feedback by analyzing and identifying product or process short-comings (bugs, user experience improvements, etc.).
Develop automation scripts and programs to reduce the manual test burden of a product.
Provide input on lab equipment and infrastructure requirements (video servers, networking equipment, test equipment, etc.) to meet product testing needs.
Coordinate with colleagues across our global organization to ensure good communication and collaboration around testing on our products.

Position Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering or equivalent
5+ years experience testing software/features in a Linux/Unix environment
Strong experience in QA lifecycle from requirements, design, coding, debugging, and building.
Capable of generating testing plans and scenarios to ensure applications are thoroughly tested to meet high quality standards.
Must be able to work cohesively within the local team and across geographically spread teams to accomplish results.

Core Competencies:

Strong experience working with tools for test management (e.g., TestRail).
Able to design and develop automated tests within a test framework (e.g., Gauge, Robot, etc.).
Effective working in Linux and using embedded Linux tools/applications.
Proficient in the development of test software using Python.
Demonstrated commitment to continuous professional development and learning.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Demonstrated ability to work effectively under pressure.
Experience with L2/L3 networking of devices and working with containers/containerization of systems a valuable nice-to-have
