QA Engineer Android Embedded Platform 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.

• 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.
