About the Job

Epiphan Video is looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer to strengthen our QA team, help shape our test strategy, and deliver reliable, high-quality video streaming and recording solutions.

In this role, you will design, develop, and maintain automated test suites for Epiphan Pearl devices and the Multimedia Platform, primarily using Python, Pytest, and Playwright, while also supporting our UI component tests in TypeScript. Because our products are physical devices, you will work hands-on with real hardware, not just the software running on it. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and act as a quality leader within the QA team.

Note: This full-time permanent position is based in Ottawa, ON, with a hybrid work format available. Employees are expected at least 3 days/week in office. This arrangement is subject to change based on business needs.

Who we are

Epiphan Video empowers creators and businesses around the world to produce broadcast-quality content with intuitive, innovative and trusted hardware and cloud services. Epiphan solutions see use in numerous verticals, including education, live event production, corporate, government, and legal.

Key responsibilities:

Own the test strategy and automation approach for assigned product areas, and drive improvements to our test frameworks and CI pipelines
Develop and maintain API and end-to-end automated tests using Python, Pytest, and Playwright
Create, expand, and maintain existing Playwright component tests for our frontend applications using TypeScript
Test Epiphan Pearl hardware end to end: video inputs and outputs, physical interfaces, firmware updates, power cycling, and long-running stability scenarios
Build and maintain hardware test setups and lab benches, including automation of device-level interactions where possible
Design and execute comprehensive test plans and test cases covering functionality, usability, and performance
Identify, document, and track defects using bug-tracking tools; verify fixes through retesting
Collaborate with developers, product managers, and business analysts to translate requirements into thorough test coverage
Perform regression testing to ensure new changes do not introduce defects
Conduct quality validation for Epiphan's video streaming and encoding software
Mentor other QA engineers and review test code to raise the quality bar across the team

Strongly preferred

Hands-on hardware testing experience: physical devices, embedded systems, or firmware
Experience with hardware-in-the-loop setups, test benches, or lab environments
Comfort troubleshooting at the boundary between hardware and software (cabling, signals, device logs, serial consoles)
