Product Assurance Engineer

The Product Assurance Engineer plans, develops, and conducts tests on electronic components, products, and systems. The Product Test Engineer also acts as a product expert, assisting both design engineers and sales managers, as well as supporting customers with troubleshooting all product issues.

- Propose, develop, and execute test plans in conjunction with software developers targeting functional and exception-based analysis.

- Use computer software and hardware to conduct tests on electronic products and systems for supporting current products.

- Analyze and interpret test data for customer issues then prepare technical reports for use by engineering, manufacturing, and management personnel.

- Determine conditions under which tests are to be conducted and the sequencing of test operations in supporting customer issues.

- Confer with manufacturing and design engineering personnel to resolve testing problems such as product or system malfunctions, incomplete test data and data interpretation.

- Perform and coordinate electronic and mechanical engineering test activities concerned with the development and applications of consumer and industrial electronic devices

- Generate test units and reports as well as product support documentation to comply with design requirements and applicable regulations/standards.

- Perform analysis of documented user requirements and direct or assist in the design of test plans to validate user requirements for complex software/hardware applications.

- Review user application system requirements documentation: design, define, and document unit and application test plans; transform test plans into test executions.

- Execute manual and automated integration test cases across hardware, firmware, and software layers, including stress, boundary, and negative test scenarios to validate system robustness.

- Configure and set up test environments, test beds, and device-under-test (DUT) hardware; identify and document test dependencies, assumptions, and constraints.

- Log, track, and triage defects using a bug tracking system with clear reproduction steps; verify and close defects upon resolution confirmation through re-test.

- Escalate critical defects to appropriate engineering teams with supporting data and analyze defect trends to report on root cause patterns across test cycles.

- Develop and maintain test scripts and automation frameworks using Python or similar languages, along with test data sets and log parsers to support automated result analysis.

- Produce test summary reports detailing pass/fail rates, coverage metrics, and outstanding risks; maintain up-to-date test case repositories and traceability matrices linking tests to requirements.

- Document test environment configurations and setup procedures.

- Coordinate with firmware, hardware, and software engineers to resolve integration issues, and communicate test status and blockers clearly to project managers and technical leads.

- Identify gaps in test coverage and propose enhancements to test strategies; evaluate and introduce new tools, methodologies, or frameworks to improve testing efficiency.

- Support field teams and customer support with reproduction of reported system issues and contribute to lessons-learned processes following major releases or product incidents.

- Solid broad-based knowledge of analog, digital and RF circuits

- Strong scripting/automation ability for building test frameworks and log parsers, and experience maintaining test case repositories and requirements traceability matrices

- Ability to work with other technology department team members to ensure departmental deadlines are met and objectives are achieved

- 5 years' experience, or equivalent combination of education and experience

- Project Management tools including JIRA, Confluence, and related products

- Defect/bug tracking systems and structured defect lifecycle management

- Understanding Disciplined Agile techniques including participation in sprints along with backlog refinement/grooming
