• Lead system-level validation of hardware-software integrated products, including deep system debugging, root cause analysis, and integration testing across firmware, drivers, and hardware interfaces.
• Build advanced test automation: design automation frameworks and test infrastructure (Hardware-in-the-Loop, automated test rigs, simulation environments) and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines.
• Lead and mentor QA engineers, collaborate with embedded developers, hardware engineers, and DevOps, and shape architecture and design decisions to improve testability and reliability.

• 7+ years in software testing / QA, including 3+ years testing embedded systems or firmware and hardware - software integrated products.
