Gems Setra is seekinga Senior Software Quality Engineer to join our software engineering team and help ensure the reliability, performance, and robustness of our embedded devices. These products operate in critical environments such as data centers, industrial facilities, and building automation systems, where correctness, stability, and diagnosability are essential.

In this role, you will work closely with software, hardware, and product teams to define and execute verification strategies across embedded Linux platforms, environmental and power monitoring firmware, and supporting applications. You will play a key role in reducing field issues, improving test automation, and raising the overall quality bar across the product lifecycle.

Essential Functions

• Promote and evolve the software verification and validation (V&V) strategy for embedded products, including power meters, environmental monitors and controls, and edge gateways.
• Design, implement, and maintain manual and automated test coverage for embedded Linux software, firmware, and devicelevel features.
• Develop and execute systemlevel, integration, regression, and stress tests, including scenarios that mirror realworld customer deployments (e.g., fullyloaded devices, longduration uptime, and fault conditions).
• Collaborate with software and hardware engineers to review requirements, designs, and risks, ensuring testability and quality are built in early.
• Investigate field and manufacturing issues by reproducing failures, analyzing logs and network traffic, and performing rootcause analysis.
• Contribute to test automation frameworks and CI pipelines to improve repeatability, coverage, and release confidence.
• Validate industrial and buildingautomation communications protocols, as well as TCP/IP networks, and devicetocloud interactions (MQTT).
• Define quality metrics and provide clear, datadriven assessments of release readiness.

Education & Experience Required

• Bachelors degree in engineering or similar field and 5-10 years of related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
• Demonstrated experience in software quality, test engineering, or verification roles, with a strong focus on embedded or systemslevel testing; typically, 6 years.
• Handson experience testing embedded Linux systems and/or firmwaredriven devices.
• Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP) and experience validating device communications over wired and wireless networks.
• Experience testing industrial or buildingautomation protocols (e.g., Modbus, BACnet, or similar).
• Proficiency with test automation and scripting, such as Python, shell scripting, or similar languages.
• Experience working with hardwareintegrated software systems, including interaction with sensors, meters, or I/O.
• Experience testing industrial / device UIs, particularly with Squish
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, version control systems (Git), and tracking tools like Jira and Zephyr.
• Ability to analyze logs, packet captures, and system behavior to isolate complex, crossdisciplinary issues.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work crossfunctionally with software, hardware, product, and manufacturing teams.

Desired Skills

• Experience testing power meters and environmental controls.
• Exposure to longrunning reliability testing, soak testing, and performance characterization.
• Experience validating systems that must meet accuracy, stability, or compliance expectations.
• Familiarity with embedded build systems, release workflows, or crosscompiled environments.
• Background working with products deployed at scale in customer or industrial environments.
