About The Role

As a Senior QA Automation Engineer within the New Product Introduction (NPI) team, you will occupy a high-impact role at the intersection of software and hardware. You will be responsible for the end-to-end quality of our TV products, ensuring that our Linux-based firmware integrates flawlessly with manufacturer hardware for the European market. Your primary focus will be scaling our quality efforts by developing automated test suites using Python and BDD. You will act as a technical bridge between our development teams and external manufacturing partners, leveraging AI and modern CI/CD tools to drive efficiency across the global TV business.

About The Team

As a global leader in consumer electronics, Roku is dedicated to delivering seamless, high-quality streaming experiences to millions of users worldwide. You’ll be part of a team focused on innovation, collaboration, and building products that redefine how people watch TV.

What you'll be doing

Automation & BDD Development: Transform manual test cases from TestRail into robust automated scripts. You will utilize our Python-based framework and follow BDD principles to ensure tests are scalable, readable, and aligned with business requirements
NPI & Firmware Validation: Lead the validation of new Roku TV models. This involves deep-dive testing and debugging of Linux-based firmware written in C++, ensuring stability and performance across various hardware configurations
CI/CD & Tooling: Manage and optimize automated test execution within Jenkins. Utilize Git for version control and leverage AI tools to enhance test generation and log analysis
Manufacturer Collaboration: Work directly with external TV manufacturers to resolve hardware-software blockers. Partner with global teams on initiatives to improve delivery effectiveness and "Time to Market."
Technical Defect Analysis: Oversee the defect lifecycle in Jira. You will provide deep-dive technical analysis, including Linux system logs and stack traces, to help developers expedite fixes
Process Innovation: Identify opportunities to replace manual processes with automated solutions, improving the overall efficiency of the NPI workstream

We are excited if you have

Automation Expertise: Strong proficiency in Python and experience with BDD frameworks (e.g., Behave, Lettuce, or Pytest-bdd)
Embedded Systems Knowledge: Solid understanding of Linux-based firmware. While this is a QA role, the ability to understand C++ code for debugging purposes is highly advantageous
QA Domain Knowledge: Extensive experience in QA, specifically with Consumer Electronics, Embedded Systems, or Smart TV platforms (knowledge of DVB-T/T2 and HbbTV is a plus)
Tooling: Expert-level experience with Jira, TestRail, Git, Docker, and Jenkins
Analytical Mindset: Ability to use AI and data-driven insights to improve testing coverage and efficiency
Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills to navigate relationships with international manufacturing partners and internal stakeholders
