Firmware Test Engineer

Willow is a platform for products that help improve the lives and health of women. We are a mission-driven team of experienced inventors, mothers, and fathers dedicated to making a difference in women’s lives. The Willow™ Wearable Breast Pump is the first solution in our platform. Moms who pump told us that they often need to press pause on life while they pump and that their dream pump would be truly mobile and unplugged.  Willow is a complete re-imagining of the breast pump – it is the world’s first all-in-one breast pump that fits in a bra.

About The Role:

We are looking for an end to end test engineer with at least 4 years of experience testing Mobile App and/or Cloud connected Embedded Software devices (such as wearables, IoT, automation, or control).  Qualified candidates will have experience with Python, be comfortable setting up end to end testbenches (involving devices, test equipment, Apps, cloud config and computers) and developing/executing various types of tests on these testbenches.

** This role is only open to local candidates **

• perform integration tests that verify the firmware correctly controls the device hardware
• design/execute characterization tests that evaluate device performance at limits
• develop/run end to end system tests that simulate end-user use of the full product stack
• run automated test suites prior to each release and generate/log reports
• attempt to break the firmware / tech stack and rejoice when you find a bug
• troubleshoot, isolate, and document problems encountered during testing

Required Skills:
