## About the Role

* 3-4 years of strong Python or comparable scripting skills for test automation, data analysis, and reporting.
 * Experience testing embedded Linux, cameras, robotics, or connected hardware.
 * Ability to build and automate physical test fixtures, including device control and measurement.
 * Practical knowledge of Linux diagnostics, networking, logs, and system performance tools.
 * Skill in designing repeatable experiments and separating product failures from problems in the test setup.
 * Ability to analyze timing and recorded data, reproduce intermittent faults, and verify fixes under stress.

Nice-to-have:

 * Experience with camera pipelines, update fault testing, or continuous integration for hardware.
 * Experience with electrical failure analysis, environmental testing, or repair qualification.

## Description

You'll prove that Mecka's capture hardware records the right data and keeps working through real use. You'll design the tests, fixtures, and automation that establish recording quality and release readiness across hardware and software. As data collection grows, your results will guide decisions about what is ready to deploy. The challenge is to expose subtle timing errors, data loss, and intermittent failures, then turn each finding into a test the team can run again.

What You'll Do

 * Build automated hardware tests that verify recording quality, performance, and recovery against clear requirements.
 * Test long recording sessions and fault conditions, including power loss, disconnects, full storage, and competing workloads.
 * Check recorded data for missing frames, timestamp errors, incomplete sensor streams, and corruption.
 * Reproduce failures, work with engineers to isolate the root cause, and turn each fix into a repeatable regression test.
 * Define release checks and qualification tests across supported hardware and software configurations.
