Test Automation Engineer
About The Position
Join Eagle Wireless’s internal software team to build an in-house test automation platform for cellular modules. The role connects test management, continuous integration, and issue tracking with lab hardware so tests can run unattended—from firmware flashing through publication of results. This is a build-from-the-ground-up project with ownership and a direct impact on product quality. The engineer will create a system to track test benches, match test cases to compatible hardware, and manage reservations and queues. The role also automates lab equipment, develops test-bench agents, orchestrates runs through Jenkins, captures and evaluates results, automates defect reporting, and migrates test scripts and bench configurations from a legacy system.
