Full Description
Role Purpose
Ensure Evolute’s POS, biometric, Android, IoT, mobility, printer, Sound Box, and embedded products meet rigorous quality standards before they reach customers across 20+ countries. Reduce field escapes and post-release defects by catching hardware-software integration issues early in the test cycle. The role requires strong testing fundamentals, analytical and troubleshooting skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced product development environment. Execute API and integration testing using tools such as Postman, perform printer and peripheral testing, including connectivity, command/protocol, print quality, and functional validation.
Validate Sound Box/audio functionality, including voice announcements and related functional scenarios, Perform testing under different network conditions and connectivity scenarios.
Support pre-release, pre-production, production validation, and SQA release sign-off activities.
Give Development and Product teams fast, reliable defect feedback so release timelines stay on track. Build repeatable, scalable test coverage — functional, regression, and device/peripheral — as the product portfolio grows.

Major Areas Of Contribution
Strategic Contribution
- Strengthen product quality and reliability across Evolute’s device portfolio, supporting the Group’s growth and customer-trust goals.
- Contribute to shift-left testing practices that reduce the cost and time of defect resolution.
- Support certification and compliance readiness for regulated markets.
- Help build a scalable, repeatable QA process as new products and markets are added.
Functional Contribution
- Execute functional, integration, system, regression, sanity, compatibility, and exploratory testing.
- Validate device features, hardware-software integration, peripherals, and communication interfaces.
- Design, review, and execute test cases, test plans, and validation checklists.
- Identify, reproduce, and track defects with clear logs and evidence, and support root-cause-oriented debugging with Development teams.
- Prepare clear test reports, defect reports, and release validation documentation.
Success Indicators in First 6 Months
Independently owns test execution for at least one product line (e.g., POS, biometric, or Android devices). Test cases and validation checklists are consistently reviewed and adopted by the team. Defect reports are clear and reproducible, needing minimal back-and-forth with Development. Demonstrates working knowledge of Jira, ADB/Android Studio, and Git/SVN in day-to-day testing. Contributes end-to-end to at least one regression or release sign-off cycle.
Growth opportunity for this role
Progress into test automation and tooling ownership. Build deep domain expertise across fintech, biometric, and embedded product testing. Grow into a Senior SQA/Test Lead role owning end-to-end release quality.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electronics, IT, or a related field. 1–3 years of software testing experience, ideally in a product-based or hardware-integrated environment. Hands-on exposure to Android, embedded, POS, or device testing. Comfortable working directly with hardware, logs, and cross-functional Development/Product teams.
