You will write and execute test cases, track results and defects in Jira, verify that products behave correctly before they reach customers, and drive issues to closure across firmware, hardware, and software releases. You will serve as the critical quality bridge between U.S. and China-based engineering teams, working in Mandarin to unify test procedures and resolve defects directly at the source., Test Case Development & Execution - Residential & C&I * Author & run test cases: write, maintain, and execute standardized functional, integration, and system-level test cases against residential and C&I batteries, inverters, gateways, and firmware. * Edge & negative testing: test boundary conditions, fault handling, and error paths - not just the happy path - to surface defects before customers do. * Regression testing: re-run affected cases after firmware/software changes to confirm fixes hold and nothing previously working has regressed. Firmware & Hardware Validation * Bench & lab testing: validate battery, inverter, and gateway behavior on the bench using standard lab instrumentation; reproduce reported field issues in a controlled setup. * Firmware validation: verify ARM, DSP, and LCD firmware builds and version compatibility across products before release. * Log analysis & root cause: pull and analyze device logs and telemetry to isolate root cause and give engineering a reproducible defect. Cloud & Application Testing - Residential & C&I * Validate platform behavior: verify Fortress portal, cloud platform, Installer app, and Homeowner app behavior against device-level data so what customers see matches what systems are doing. * Find cloud/software defects: surface issues in data integrity, reporting, connectivity, and dispatch reflection, and confirm fixes before customer exposure. Release Management, Defect Tracking & Coordination * Track in Jira: log, prioritize, and track test results and defects in Jira; keep tickets clear, reproducible, and current through to verified closure. * Release notes & QA sign-off: maintain release notes, publish version releases and product news, and provide final QA review before a build is released to production. * Release tracking: keep the test process and release-tracking system current so status is visible at any time. * Coordinate overseas: unify test steps between the China and U.S. teams and drive defect resolution directly with China-based engineering and manufacturing in Chinese (Mandarin)., * Test execution: 100% of planned test cases authored and executed each release cycle. * Quality: defect escapes to customers trending to zero release over release. * Defect handling: defects documented, reproducible, and tracked to verified closure within target turnaround. * Release readiness: release notes, version releases, and QA sign-off completed on time for every build. ## Related Videos - [A Hitchhikers Guide to Container Security - Automotive Edition 2024](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1119-a-hitchhikers-guide-to-container-security-automotive-edition-2024) - [Optimizing Land-Based Fish Feeding with Node-RED](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2032-optimizing-land-based-fish-feeding-with-node-red) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Testing .NET applications a Tool box for every developer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/704-testing-net-applications-a-tool-box-for-every-developer) - [Developer Tools for Microsoft Azure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/450-developer-tools-for-microsoft-azure) - [Enabling intelligent logistics automation: home-grown Industrial IoT platform at Austrian Post](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2018-enabling-intelligent-logistics-automation-home-grown-industrial-iot-platform-at-austrian-post) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [What is a Test Plan: Guide to Test Planning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/191-what-is-a-test-plan-guide-to-test-planning) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [How to create a test plan for software testing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/56-how-to-create-a-test-plan-for-software-testing) - [Integration And E2E Testing: Are They Complementary or Interchangeable?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/86-integration-and-e2e-testing-are-they-complementary-or-interchangeable) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market)
