• 3+ years of experience in leading testing teams
• Proven experience in designing and implementing large-scale test automation frameworks
• Strong programming skills (Python, Java, or similar) with solid software engineering fundamentals
• Deep understanding of system integration challenges across hardware, firmware, and cloud systems
• Experience with CI/CD tools and test automation integration

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with RTLS, IoT, or embedded systems testing
• Knowledge of wireless protocols (BLE, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, RFID, UWB)
• Experience with hardware test setups and device communication interfaces (serial, USB, MQTT, REST, etc.)
• Exposure to AI/ML applications in testing
• Familiarity with cloud platforms and distributed architectures

Work Environment

• Fully onsite role (5 days/week) to support close collaboration with hardware and cross-functional teams
• Fast-paced, innovation-driven environment focused on delivering high-quality healthcare technology solutions
