Engineer-Software Quality Assurance

Role Purpose

• Ensure Evolute’s POS, biometric, Android, IoT, mobility, printer, Sound Box, and embedded products meet rigorous quality standards before they reach customers across 20+ countries.
• Reduce field escapes and post-release defects by catching hardware-software integration issues early in the test cycle.
• The role requires strong testing fundamentals, analytical and troubleshooting skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced product development environment.
• Execute API and integration testing using tools such as Postman, perform printer and peripheral testing, including connectivity, command/protocol, print quality, and functional validation.

Validate Sound Box/audio functionality, including voice announcements and related functional scenarios, Perform testing under different network conditions and connectivity scenarios.
Support pre-release, pre-production, production validation, and SQA release sign-off activities.

• Give Development and Product teams fast, reliable defect feedback so release timelines stay on track.
• Build repeatable, scalable test coverage — functional, regression, and device/peripheral — as the product portfolio grows.
