Your Role

As a QA Specialist at Shelly, you put our smart-home devices through their paces and help make sure their hardware and firmware work reliably together. You combine hands-on manual testing with Python-based automation to uncover issues, improve test coverage, and catch tricky edge cases before they reach users.

Your Responsibilities:

• Plan, design, maintain, and execute manual and automated test cases for Shelly’s IoT devices, checking how firmware and hardware work together.
• Analyze and document test results, highlight quality issues, and recommend improvements.
• Identify, reproduce, report, and track bugs, working closely with developers and hardware engineers to investigate issues, support timely resolution, and verify fixes.
• Contribute to test strategies, test plans, and reports, keeping test documentation clear and up to date.
• Write and maintain test scripts and help improve our automation framework, expanding test coverage and supporting scalability.
• Stay up to date with QA methodologies, tools, and trends, share what you learn, and help make our testing processes more effective.

• You pay close attention to detail, approach problems analytically, and manage multiple tasks effectively.
• You communicate clearly, both verbally and in writing, and collaborate well with colleagues across teams.
• You get bonus points for experience with IoT protocols such as MQTT, Matter and Zigbee and embedded systems testing, or troubleshooting hardware-software interactions.
• You stand out even more with Python or other programming skills, a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or an ISTQB Foundation Level certification or equivalent.
