Required Qualifications: • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent international degree). • Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in software automation and test development, or advanced degree with 2+ years relevant experience. • Strong proficiency in software development for test automation (Python, Java, or equivalent). • Hands-on experience with manual test management tools and test automation frameworks (Selenium, Appium, Espresso, etc.). • Familiarity with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps). • Device operating systems (Android, Linux). • Service-oriented architecture (SoA), APIs (REST, IPC). • Hands-on experience testing embedded or connected hardware devices, preferably invol
