Software Testing Engineer

HireSetu's note

Your CV should smell of hardware

Ethernet and Validation are the two skills this posting names, and both point the same way: embedded work tested close to the board. Put any project where you flashed firmware, wired a sensor, read bytes off a serial terminal or checked a device over Ethernet near the top. Instrumentation or electronics lab coursework counts if you can describe what you measured and what misbehaved.

Bug reports from a web project show you can write clearly. The person reading this CV wants proof you have handled hardware that refuses to cooperate.

A manual test cycle, with the instrument in front of you

The test cases are manual. You set up the instrument, run the firmware, and check that sensors, motors, heaters, pumps, displays, keypads and alarms do what the spec says. Functional, regression, integration, system and validation testing all appear, so the same checks come round again after every fix. You log defects in a bug-tracking tool, verify the fixes, and prepare test reports and release documents.

Onsite in Navi Mumbai, one seat, working alongside developers and hardware engineers when a problem needs pinning down to a wire or a line of firmware. If your testing so far has been mobile or web apps, spend an evening with a serial console and a logic analyser. The debugging loop here is slower and physical, and a bench setup with a heater cycling on and off tells you things no emulator will.
