Job Title: Quality Assurance Analyst (Embedded)

Location: Ft. Worth, TX – Onsite 5 days per week

Salary Range: $85,000 - $100,000 + Bonus Eligible

Who we are: Lynx delivers modular, open standards-based software solutions that redefine the economics of developing, deploying, and maintaining high assurance, mission critical edge platforms. These secure edge computing solutions are designed to drive innovation and operational excellence in today’s most demanding environments. From advancing aerospace and defense capabilities to transforming commercial and industrial systems, Lynx collaborates across a wide range of industries, including automotive, medical, and critical infrastructure, to deliver tailored, high assurance solutions aligned with specific mission and operational requirements. Our key products and services are: 

• LYNX MOSA.ic: A software platform that can include a LYNX safety-critical real-time operating system. MOSA.ic's modular design provides robust support for multicore processing. It allows different operating systems and applications of different criticality levels to be run on separate cores for improved performance, reliability, and security.
• CoreSuite 2.0: A suite of graphics libraries and tools that enable GPU hardware acceleration for both graphics and "GPU Compute", supporting applications such as machine learning and AI processing in edge devices.
• MOSA.ic.SCA and Vigiles, tools that provide Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and Common Vulnerabilities Exposure (CVE) management for embedded Linux-based and other applications.
• Software development services for high-reliability applications that can include initial setup of a "DevSecOps" development environment, software application development, and long-term product lifecycle management. 

Role Summary

Execute the established test plan for your assigned embedded product release—ensuring test and build environment readiness and delivering high‑quality release outcomes.

As a key contributor, you’ll drive defect discovery/triage, strengthen processes, and collaborate across engineering to ship reliable releases that meet stringent customer and industry expectations.

Responsibilities

• Own the release/test cycle & its execution: Execute manual and automated test suites; track outcomes and publish comprehensive quality reports and status updates.
• Ensure release integrity: Verify that all release packages and supporting documentation are complete and compliant with defined development and release processes; maintain the release repository (artifacts, documentation, dependencies, credentials, notification lists).
• Build & maintain environments: Create Windows/Linux build server VMs, install toolchains/dev tools, perform health checks, and resolve environment issues to keep testing productive and predictable.
• Analyze builds & triage defects: Investigate failing tests, log clear issues, and partner with development to resolve root causes and prevent recurrence.
• Utilize CI pipelines: Execute established Jenkins pipelines and Python driver/build scripts (e.g., SCons) that accelerate validation and release workflows.
• Continuously improve: Utilizing your knowledge and skills, contribute to process improvements that reduce cycle time, increase coverage, and elevate quality across the org.

Must-Have Skills & Experience

• 3–5 years of professional QA experience in embedded software environments.
• Skilled at hardware setup/assembly and troubleshooting; comfortable with Linux and Windows environments (RTOS exposure such as PikeOS, VxWorks, Integrity is an asset).
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent diploma in Computer Science, Computer/Software Engineering, or related field.
• Hands‑on expertise in manual, automated, and performance testing with a strong grasp of the SDLC and structured test methodologies.
• Practical programming/scripting in Python; familiarity with C/C++ to enable embedded debugging and test harnesses.

Nice to Have

• Experience with 3D graphics validation (OpenGL or Vulkan) is beneficial for graphics driver/application testing.
• Proficiency with source control and CI/CD (e.g., Git, Jenkins); able to create and run build/test pipelines an
