Working knowledge of the software development lifecycle, including Agile methodologies
Ability to analyze system logs, test results, and technical information to support defect analysis and validation activities
Proficiency using standard QA tools for test case management, defect tracking, and collaboration
Experience performing hands‑on functional, integration, system, and regression testing within complex software environments
Experience validating integrated systems involving software, hardware, networking, and third‑party or vendor‑provided components
Experience documenting, tracking, and communicating defects with clear reproduction steps and supporting technical artifacts
Experience collaborating with cross‑functional teams, including development, product, operations, and vendors, to support quality and validation efforts
Experience analyzing system behavior, logs, or telemetry to troubleshoot issues and support root cause analysis

Responsibilities

Develop and execute comprehensive test plans, test cases, and test scenarios for xIoT software, firmware, and hardware integrations across shipboard and shoreside environments.
Perform hands-on functional, integration, system, regression, and exploration of xIoT solutions, including validation of hardware devices, protocols, and backend services.
Validate end-to-end system behavior by testing interactions between devices, applications, networks, and vendor-provided components.
Identify, document, track, and triage defects with clear reproduction steps, logs, and supporting artifacts; collaborate with engineering teams to drive resolution.
Analyze logs, metrics, and system behavior to troubleshoot failures, performance issues, and stability concerns in test and production like environments.
Partner with development, product, operations, and vendors to clarify requirements, acceptance criteria, and test coverage expectations.
Contribute to continuous improvement of QA processes, test strategies, tools, and environments, including identifying, designing, and maintaining test automation assets where appropriate, to improve test efficiency, coverage, and overall product quality.
Develop and maintain deep technical knowledge of xIoT platforms, deployed systems, and shipboard operational constraints.
