Systems Test Engineer, End-to-End Validation | Consumer Devices
Designs and executes end-to-end validation for consumer devices spanning hardware, software, connectivity, cloud services, and accessories. The role emphasizes reproducible test procedures, failure diagnosis, test-environment development, and automation of high-value scenarios.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Design end-to-end test coverage and reproducible procedures for user journeys, realistic usage patterns, edge cases, degraded conditions, and failure scenarios across devices, services, connectivity, and accessories.
- Build and operate test environments involving devices, servers, networks, accounts, peripherals, accessories, and controlled environmental conditions.
- Prepare devices and environments for release validation, execute test campaigns, track results, and communicate risks and blocking issues.
- Reproduce complex failures, isolate contributing components, collect logs and telemetry, and provide clear reproduction steps and supporting evidence.
- Identify repeatable manual workflows suitable for automation and develop or partner on tooling for device control, setup, measurement, data collection, and test execution.
- Convert field issues, production failures, and discovered bugs into repeatable regression tests and maintain coverage across product releases.
- Collaborate with embedded, systems, cloud, hardware, QA, and product teams to improve testability and close validation gaps.
Requirements
- Experience with system-level, integration, end-to-end, or validation testing for complex hardware-software products.
- Ability to translate loosely defined product behavior into clear, repeatable, measurable test procedures.
- Experience testing systems spanning devices, networks, backend services, mobile applications, or connected accessories.
- Hands-on debugging and methodical failure isolation across hardware, firmware, software, connectivity, and cloud services.
- Comfort with logs, diagnostics, command-line tools, network tools, and device configuration utilities.
- Experience automating tests or test setups using Python or similar scripting tools.
- Understanding of reliable test environments, including setup, configuration, preconditions, expected results, and recovery procedures.
- Ability to work across engineering disciplines and communicate complex failures with clear evidence and reproducible steps.
Compensation
- Annual salary: $230,000–$290,000.
- Hybrid work model with four days per week in the office.
- Relocation assistance offered to new employees.
