Wireless QA/Automation Engineer

Design, develop, and execute automated test suites for wireless networking products, focusing on 802.11 standards (a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be). Ensure performance, stability, throughput, roaming, and interoperability across multiple testbeds. Develop automation frameworks and collaborate with cross-functional teams to validate new features and improve product quality.

What You'll Do:

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites for wireless networking products.
• Validate wireless performance, stability, throughput, roaming, and interoperability.
• Use test platforms such as IxChariot, Veriwave, and Candela for performance benchmarking, traffic generation, and protocol validation.
• Develop automation scripts using Python, with emphasis on:
• Pytest framework for structured test development
• REST API automation for backend and device-level validation
• Paramiko for SSH-based automation and remote device control
• Collaborate with development, firmware, and product teams to identify defects, analyze root causes, and implement resolutions.
• Create detailed test plans, test cases, and documentation for new features and regression cycles.
• Participate in CI/CD initiatives to improve test coverage and efficiency.
• Contribute to enhancement of internal automation frameworks and testing tools.
