About The Position

As a Quality Engineer, you will immerse yourself in the physical and digital
intersection of our products. You will spend your time working directly with
hardware—at your desk and in the lab—architecting new test cases that push our
firmware and logic to their limits. Your primary challenge will be to wear the
"customer hat" while applying deep technical knowledge. You must be able to see
around corners, identifying scenarios where the code functions as written, but
the "feel" or outcome isn't quite right. You will act as a strategic partner to
Firmware, Software, and Algorithms Developers, as well as Product Design and
Human Factors teams, using the data you generate to influence design decisions
and refine the complex behaviors that define the user experience.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 3+ years of experience in firmware validation, embedded development, or a related technical field
• Demonstrated experience with bug hunting, regression testing, and system-level debugging

Nice To Haves

• 5+ years of experience in firmware validation or development with a track record of shipping quality consumer products
• Ability to understand and test the underlying logic that maps physical inputs to software events (algorithm validation)
• Strong "quality mindset" with the ability to empathize with the end-user to find bugs that traditional automated tests might miss
• Experience designing or programming robotic automation fixtures and integrating them into test frameworks
• Proficiency with Python, Bash, Swift, or other scripting languages for test automation
• Experience with embedded software architecture (C, Objective-C, C++) and hardware debugging tools (Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers)
