ROLE OVERVIEW

As an IoT QA Engineer, you’ll own the quality lifecycle of our IoT platforms and connected devices—from test planning through execution to release. You’ll design and implement both manual and automated tests to ensure secure, reliable device-to-cloud connectivity and seamless user experience within our AWS/Azure IoT ecosystems. Working alongside global counterparts in Europe, US and China.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Test Strategy & Planning: Develop comprehensive test plans and test cases for functional, regression, performance, and security testing of IoT services.
• Manual & Automated Testing: Execute and maintain automated test suites using tools like pytest, Selenium, or similar; perform exploratory/manual testing for new features.
• Device Connectivity Validation: Simulate and validate edge-to-cloud interactions over MQTT, HTTP/REST, and WebSocket; troubleshoot connectivity, certificate, and firmware update flows.
• API & Integration Testing: Validate RESTful APIs, message queues, and broker behaviors; collaborate with backend engineers to define testable contracts.
• Performance & Load Testing: Leverage tools such as JMeter or Locust to benchmark platform throughput, latency, and scalability.
• Defect Management & Reporting: Log, track, and verify defects in JIRA or equivalent; provide clear reproduction steps and impact analysis.
• CI/CD & DevOps Integration: Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions) to enforce quality gates on every build.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Product, DevOps, and Support teams to prioritize quality risks and ensure robust releases.
