• 3+ years of experience with software quality assurance (SQA) methodologies and practices

• Experience developing test strategies and test plans and executing them via automated or manual testing

• Experience applying AI to automation or testing workflows and solving real-world problems

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with WFA Certification Programs, including building and maintaining test setups or test beds

• Experience using Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth packet sniffers and network protocol analyzers to debug issues and provide root-cause findings

• Comfort working with cross-functional teams

• Strong attention to detail

• Strong written and verbal communication skills (documentation of reproduction steps, logs, performance data, and root-cause findings)

Benefits

Opportunity to drive Wi‑Fi quality and certification innovation that improves the user experience.
