2. Develop test cases that cover a wide range of scenarios, including client roaming, mesh network
formation, load balancing, and failover.
3. Leverage industry-standard testing tools and frameworks to measure and analyze key
performance metrics such as throughput, latency, and coverage.
4. Collaborate with the engineering teams to understand the product architecture, identify
potential points of failure, and incorporate feedback into the testing strategy.
5. Contribute to eero's automation frameworks and infrastructure to help developer and QA teams
to implement test cases/suites.
6. Analyze test results, report on system performance, and work closely with the development
team to address any issues or regressions.
7. Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices in wireless networking testing, and
continuously improve the testing infrastructure and processes.
8. Mentor and guide junior team members in test automation and quality assurance practices for
wireless technologies.
