QA Engineer with Android Embedded Platform Experience [Onsite/Hybrid]

The QA Engineer will own end-to-end quality for an Android-based embedded platform that controls commercial and residential boiler systems — including Android HMI, core business logic, firmware integrations, 20+ model variants, and mobile app integrations — and will work on other software QA projects as needed. This role will define QA strategy and release validation, build test structure and automation, integrate testing into development and CI/CD workflows, and act as the single point of accountability for delivering stable, release-ready builds across all models and projects. 

Must be an authorized worker residing in the United States and local to Nashville, TN, as this role is onsite.

• Define and implement a layered QA strategy across unit, integration, UI, functional, and end-to-end testing.

• Ensure comprehensive coverage across business logic, firmware integrations, and model-specific configurations.

• Establish and maintain documented release validation criteria for each product model.

• Develop and maintain scalable test case libraries with full feature-to-test traceability and version control.

• Manage QA documentation, execution tracking, and reporting in Qase, providing release-level visibility into quality status and risk.

• Design and implement automated test suites to reduce manual testing and improve repeatability.

• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and standardize reporting across manual and automated workflows.

• Define structured functional test procedures and measurable acceptance criteria to validate real-world system behavior across hardware and application layers.

• Identify quality risks early and provide mitigation recommendations.

• Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and release planning to align QA with development cycles.

• Collaborate cross-functionally to support troubleshooting, defect resolution, and release readiness.

• Independently drive QA initiatives, priorities, and measurable quality outcomes.

• Other duties as assigned.
