Job Description

This open position is on the Quality Assurance (QA) team under the Research and Development organization of Checkpoint Systems. The System Test Engineer (STE) is responsible for validating complete hardware–software systems through rigorous system-level testing, with increasing emphasis on automation, repeatability, and integration with modern software development practices.

The System Test Engineer validates embedded Linux–based devices, including RFID readers and edge computing platforms, by executing and evolving test strategies that cover hardware, firmware, embedded services, networking, device configuration, upgrades, and end-to-end workflows. The role focuses on system behavior, robustness, performance, and risk-based validation, while incorporating automated testing and tooling where appropriate to improve coverage and efficiency.

The ideal candidate works across the full system stack—hardware, embedded firmware, Linux services, device management interfaces, APIs, and external integrations—and collaborates closely with Hardware, Embedded Software, Firmware, SDET, Mechanical, Manufacturing, Field Service, Product Management, and Compliance teams to ensure product readiness for internal release, field trials, and customer deployment.

This position requires strong analytical skills, structured test thinking, ownership of system quality, and the ability to troubleshoot complex cross-domain failures involving hardware, software, networking, and environmental variables. The System Test Engineer reports to the QA Manager and works in close partnership with development teams throughout the product lifecycle
