Platform Test Engineer, L1

Zebra Technologies is a company focused on developing smart solutions and intelligent, edge-based smart cameras featuring on-board Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that run hardware-accelerated image processing and vision algorithms.

• Strong analytical mindset with a natural curiosity to find out how things break.
• Comfortable navigating embedded Linux systems via the command line and basic familiarity with system management tools like systemd.
• Basic programming foundation in Python and Bash for automating simple tasks or parsing files.
• Excellent logical reasoning and a proactive attitude toward isolating complex issues.

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with camera testing, image/video streaming, or exposure to testing NPU-based/machine learning features.
• Basic understanding of hardware interfaces, reading schematics, or using simple debug tools.
• Familiarity with the Yocto Project (e.g., how to flash an image to a device).

• Execute functional, regression, and system-level tests on physical smart camera hardware and embedded Linux platforms.
• Write and maintain test helper scripts using Python and Bash to automate test execution and parse system logs.
• Analyze system logs (journalctl, systemd status) and hardware outputs to isolate issues and document clear, reproducible bug reports.
• Actively use agentic AI tools to brainstorm test scenarios, write automated test code, and accelerate log analysis.
• Partner closely with firmware and software developers to reproduce bugs, verify fixes, and understand platform bring-up issues.
