ANE QA Engineer

Wipro•Cupertino, CA

About The Position

Wipro Limited is a technology services and consulting company that builds solutions for clients’ digital transformation needs. It works across consulting, design, engineering, and operations, and has over 230,000 employees and business partners across 65 countries. The ANE QA Engineer is a device-side software QA role focused on validating lower-level software across mobile and embedded device stacks. The position covers system software below the application layer, including operating system services, frameworks, drivers, firmware interfaces, hardware abstraction layers, and platform components. The engineer performs functional and reliability testing, investigates failures using logs and traces, and works with development teams to resolve device-side issues. The role also supports device bring-up, integration, regression testing, release qualification, and production issue investigation. The posting lists Product Testing as a mandatory skill and specifies 5–8 years of experience.

Requirements

Hands-on device-side or embedded software testing experience below the application layer.
Strong debugging, troubleshooting, defect isolation, and root cause analysis skills.
Proficiency in log analysis, crash analysis, stack trace interpretation, and system-level failure investigation.
Knowledge of operating system concepts, including processes, threads, memory, inter-process communication, file systems, boot flows, and system services.
Experience validating one or more lower-layer components, such as frameworks, middleware, HAL, device drivers, firmware interfaces, kernel modules, connectivity, multimedia, power, sensors, or security subsystems.
Ability to create test cases from technical requirements, architecture specifications, interface definitions, and defect history.
Experience with defect tracking, test management, source control, and engineering collaboration tools.
Working knowledge of scripting, preferably Python, Shell, or Bash, for diagnostics and test automation.
Product Testing experience.
5–8 years of experience.

Nice To Haves

Experience in mobile OEM, consumer electronics, silicon, chipset, or embedded product validation environments comparable to Apple, Samsung, Google, Qualcomm, MediaTek, or similar organizations.
Ability to develop or enhance scripts and utilities for test execution, log collection, failure parsing, and repetitive validation activities.

Responsibilities

Design and execute test scenarios for device-side system software, platform services, drivers, firmware interactions, and hardware-software interfaces.
Validate functionality, stability, reliability, performance, power, boot, recovery, upgrade, and fault-handling behavior across device builds.
Reproduce, isolate, and troubleshoot failures across operating system, framework, middleware, driver, firmware, and hardware layers.
Collect and analyze device logs, crash dumps, stack traces, kernel logs, system traces, and performance data to identify failure patterns and probable root causes.
Perform defect triage, document reproduction steps and technical evidence, and collaborate with software, firmware, hardware, and automation teams through issue closure.
Support new device bring-up, software integration, regression testing, release qualification, and production issue investigation.
Improve test coverage by identifying boundary conditions, negative scenarios, subsystem dependencies, and field-like failure conditions.
