Debugging & Root Cause Analysis
- Perform deep debugging using logs, traces, and packet captures
- Diagnose issues across firmware, OS, hardware, and networking layers
Release, Compliance & Traceability
- Execute regression and release validation
- Maintain traceability (RTM, defects, test cases)
- Support compliance standards (UL, IEC, FCC, CE)
Observability & Diagnostics
- Validate logging, telemetry, and diagnostics systems
- Ensure field-level serviceability and debugging capability
Leadership & Collaboration
- Mentor junior QA engineers and define best practices
