QA Engineer (Hardware & Firmware)

Job Title : QA Engineer (Hardware, Firmware, & Systems)

Description :

Own the quality of Sonicu's devices and platform end-to-end : plan and execute verification, drive defects to closure, and, crucially,produce clear, audit-ready documentation that stands up to inspection in regulated environments (e.g., 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 17025 contexts). You'll collaborate closely with firmware and hardware engineers; deep EE skills are a plus but

not required

Company Description :

We are an Internet of Things (IoT) company specializing in remote monitoring applications for the healthcare and life sciences industries. We're located in Indianapolis, IN and this is a fully on-site role. Please note, we will not sponsor a Visa for this position.

What you'll do

Translate requirements into risk-based test strategies, test plans, and traceable test cases (hardware, firmware, and system-level).

Execute bench testing and system verification; log defects with reproduction steps, evidence, and severity.

Build and maintain audit-ready QA documentation : protocols (IQ / OQ / PQ where applicable), reports, and release sign-offs

Design and run regression suites for firmware drops; coordinate HIL / smoke checks for field-critical features (alarms, data logging, DataSync / backfill).

Partner with Firmware Engineering on root-cause analysis; verify fixes and prevent regressions.

Support RMA investigations with structured failure analysis and corrective action verification. (You'll be teamed with a firmware engineer for deep device-level debug as needed.)

Track quality metrics (escape rate, MTTR for defects, test coverage, reliability signals) and present concise readouts to stakeholders.

Contribute to continuous improvement of QA process, templates, and checklists.

Required Skills :

• Bachelor's degree (engineering preferred)
• 3+ years in QA for hardware products, software, or regulated industries
• Proven test planning, defect management, and release control in a regulated or quality-sensitive environment.
