Senior QA Automation Engineer

Responsibilities: Design and develop automated test cases and test plans to evaluate the functionality, performance, and reliability of UEFI firmware and BIOS-level features across various platforms. Develop and maintain test automation frameworks using Python, Robot Framework, and Selenium for integration, regression, and security testing. Implement continuous integration (CI) pipelines and automated testing using tools such as Jenkins and GitHub to support rapid firmware/software delivery cycles. Perform in-depth testing of low-level system components, including power management, bootloaders, and BIOS configurations, with a focus on platform stability and security. Identify, document, and triage firmware/software issues using bug tracking systems, and collaborate with engineering teams to ensure resolution. Analyze system logs and firmware debug output to isolate failures and validate fixes across Windows and Linux environments. Maintain and enhance the QA infrastructure and test lab environments used for automated firmware validation. Lead cross-functional efforts to improve automation coverage and testing methodology in collaboration with firmware, hardware, security, and QA teams.
