• Run repeated stress and longevity tests to identify memory leaks, thermal bottlenecks, and overall system degradation over time.
• Automated Test Development
• Write, maintain, and execute automated test scripts (primarily in Python) to run against physical hardware in our test lab.
• Automate critical regression test cases to increase coverage and reduce manual testing cycles for weekly/monthly firmware OTA releases.
• Help maintain the physical test infrastructure, ensuring network switches, relay boards, and devices under test (DUTs) are properly configured.
• Physical Lab Setup & Infrastructure
• Design, build, and expand the camera test lab, including bench and rack layout, power distribution, network topology, camera mounting, and cable management.
