About The Position

Clover produces unique, Android-based, Point-Of-Sale devices. To test these devices, it has several labs to execute test automation. This is a hybrid role: the main part is that of a Lab Technician, working with networking, Linux, cabling, ROM flashing, and racking. The other part is that of a Software Development Engineer in Test—an Android detective who writes test automation, sets up device pools, and reports on testing. For engineers who want to do something different and grow their career in multiple directions, including the possibility of cloud work, this is the role for you! You will be responsible for daily device checks, documenting lab issues, and coordinating with the lab manager to maintain the health of the testing framework.
