• Define and execute incoming inspection and acceptance testing for each new batch, including sampling plans, test procedures, and clear pass/fail criteria.
• Assess component and build quality, such as solder joints, connectors, enclosures, wiring harnesses, SIM and antenna integration, and general workmanship, identifying defects and batch variations.
• Verify end-to-end device functionality, including power-up, GNSS fix, cellular connectivity (2G/4G/LTE-M/NB-IoT), CAN/OBD-II data, I/O behavior, and correct reporting into the platform.
• Benchmark and compare competing products and models, producing clear evaluation reports and recommendations for product selection decisions.
• Maintain quality records, defect logs, and quality scorecards, driving corrective actions and managing RMA and warranty claims with manufacturers.
• Provide technical guidance and training to the installation team on wiring diagrams, mounting best practices, troubleshooting steps, and installation acceptance checks.
• Support field escalations, diagnose returned or faulty units, and feed findings back into quality improvement and future product selection processes.
• Ensure products meet applicable Saudi and regional regulatory and type-approval requirements (*, CITC) and any customer or fleet compliance needs.

• Solid understanding of electronic component quality, common failure modes, and inspection techniques.
• Experience defining test procedures, acceptance criteria, and quality documentation.
• Comfortable driving quality issues, RMAs, and corrective actions through to resolution with manufacturers.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to guide, train, and support installation technicians in the field.

Technical Expertise
