• Perform manual and automated testing of firmware and software features, including over-the-air updates, location tracking (GNSS & Wi-Fi), power management, and protocol implementation, e.g. COAP, MQTT, BLE.
• Use tools like Wireshark, serial loggers, oscilloscopes and power analysers to verify data flow and system stability.
• Analyse logs and telemetry data to troubleshoot issues across hardware, firmware, and cloud layers.
• Contribute to and maintain test automation frameworks in Python or equivalent languages.
• Execute regression & performance tests to validate system robustness, e.g. accelerometer characterisation, GNSS/Wi-Fi performance optimisation.
• Document bugs clearly in issue tracking systems, e.g., JIRA, and support developers with reproducible steps and logged evidence.
• Collaborate in sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives as part of an Agile development team.
