Knowledge and application of common Design Patterns is essential.
Proven experience with test automation frameworks, particularly Pytest, is a must.
Ability to design and develop custom test automation frameworks from scratch or extend existing ones is required.
Embedded domain exposure is a must, with hands-on experience in at least one of the following areas:
Server Platforms: In-depth understanding and testing experience with BIOS, Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) features, Security (e.g., Secure Boot, TPM), NIC and Storage controllers (NVMe, SAS, SATA), Peripherals (USB, I2C, SPI), and PCIe.
Virtualization: Hands-on experience with virtualization technologies such as Hyper-V, VMware ESXi, KVM, and familiarity with industry-popular virtualization management tools.
Connectivity: Experience in testing Wifi (802.11 standards), Bluetooth, and other IoT communication protocols and devices.
Communication: Strong knowledge of IP Networking concepts (TCP/IP, UDP, DHCP, DNS). Experience in port and VLAN configuration on enterprise-grade switches (e.g., Dell, Cisco, Extreme, Arista).
Cloud Technologies: Understanding of AWS architecture, services, and orchestration tools (e.g., CloudFormation, Terraform). Experience in testing cloud-connected embedded devices or cloud-based management solutions for embedded systems.

Education:

A Bachelor's (B.Tech/B.E) or Master's (M.Tech) degree in Computer Science (CS) or Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) is required.
Consistent good academic performance with over 70% marks or an equivalent CGPA is mandatory.

General Requirements:

Employment Type: This is a full-time, permanent position.

Preferred Skills (Desired but not mandatory):

Experience with version control systems like Git is preferred.
Familiarity with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) is desired.
Knowledge of scripting languages other than Python (e.g., Bash, Perl) is a plus.
Experience with different hardware interfaces and communication protocols (e.g., JTAG, UART, I2C, SPI) is preferred.
Understanding of Agile/Scrum development methodologies is beneficial.
Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills are desired.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team environment, are preferred.
