Software Quality Lab Operations
About The Position
This role is responsible for maintaining, monitoring, and supporting PC and peripheral lab environments used for software validation, automation execution, device testing, and engineering support. The role ensures lab equipment, automation PCs, peripherals, connected devices, and related infrastructure remain operational, reliable, and available for continuous use, including 24/7 execution where required. The role supports the health, readiness, and stability of lab assets by performing routine maintenance, troubleshooting hardware and software environment issues, documenting equipment status, escalating failures, and coordinating with engineering and quality teams to keep validation environments running efficiently. The role may assist with basic validation or test execution as needed, but the primary focus is lab maintenance, equipment readiness, operational support, and continuous lab availability. The role follows established procedures, maintains accurate documentation, supports process improvements, and helps ensure that lab systems, devices, and peripherals are properly configured, maintained, and available to internal stakeholders.
