About The Position

The Firmware QA Analyst is a hands-on role where you'll be in the driver's seat focused on ensuring the quality of our state-of-the-art traffic operations products. You’ll work closely with the development team and the QA lead to validate releases, advance our testing processes, and our technology always gets the green light for quality and functionality. On a given day you might examine requirements for upcoming features, exercise changes in a pre-prod environment, perform exploratory testing, or search out how to reproduce a customer-facing issue. If you have a high interest in learning on the job, multiple years of experience with firmware/software testing practices, are comfortable working with hardware devices, and enjoy working in a collaborative, fast-paced, rapid delivery environment, we'd like to hear from you. This is a hybrid opportunity with the majority of time spent on-site at our Kitchener, Ontario headquarters, and some flexibility to work from home.
