Senior Test Engineer

About Us

At Symetrix, we’re driven by a bold vision: to build exceptional products, grow extraordinary people, and make a positive impact in the world. We bring innovation to life through high-performance audio and video solutions, supported by world-class customer care. From classrooms and courthouses to stadiums and large venues, our technology powers meaningful experiences every day.

Position Summary

We’re seeking a Senior Test Engineer to play a critical role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of our hardware and software solutions. In this role, you’ll lead testing efforts end-to-end, from strategy and planning through execution and final product release approval.

You’ll own both manual and automated testing processes, helping to improve systems and expand test coverage. While this role includes providing guidance and support to an associate engineer, it is primarily hands‑on and focused on technical contribution and quality outcomes.

You’ll also collaborate cross‑functionally and support customer‑facing teams in resolving real‑world challenges. If you’re passionate about building high‑quality products and enjoy solving complex technical problems, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of automated testing systems, including converting manual tests to automation
• Ensure test coverage includes security, regulatory, and compliance requirements for AV and networked systems
• Develop and manage test plans, cases, and schedules across all product phases (alpha, beta, release, regression)
• Serve as the final approver for product releases
• Execute test plans, document defects, and report results using test management tools
• Provide day‑to‑day guidance and support to an associate test engineer
• Review product requirements and provide input on testability
• Test and validate prototype audio and control hardware
• Manage the full bug lifecycle: creation, triage, resolution, and closure
• Evaluate and implement testing tools, frameworks, and platforms to improve efficiency
• Contribute to technical roadmap planning and test resourcing
• Create release notes, documentation, and end‑user materials
• Collaborate with sales and support teams to troubleshoot and resolve customer issues
• Define and track quality metrics (e.g., test coverage, defect density, pass rates) to drive continuous improvement

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, MIS, or a related field
• 10+ years of experience in product development or test engineering
• 10+ years testing complex software, firmware, and hardware systems
• 6+ years developing test plans and automated test solutions
• 4+ years testing secure, networked systems
• 4+ years working with low-level Linux‑based hardware systems
• Proficiency in scripting languages (PowerShell, Python, Lua, JavaScript, etc.)
• Experience building test applications using .NET and C#
• Experience with automated testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, Playwright)
• Familiarity with Git/GitHub and test management tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence)
• Strong communication, organization, and problem‑solving skills
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively

Preferred:

• Experience mentoring or supporting junior engineers
• Experience with professional audio systems and terminology
• Experience with Audio Precision test systems
• Knowledge of Dante, AEC, and VoIP technologies
