Summary
Andrew Lapin is a Test Automation Engineer based in San Diego with over a decade of engineering experience and 5+ years focused on QA automation for hardware and software products. He builds and maintains Python-based test automation frameworks, CI pipelines with Jenkins, and automated test stations for smoke, MTBF, BLE OTA, power, and performance testing across consumer and embedded devices. With an MS in Electrical Engineering and hands-on firmware/hardware background (Nordic MCU, TMS320f), he uniquely bridges embedded design and test automation to catch issues from silicon to cloud. He’s worked cross-functionally with development and product teams to turn user feedback into compatibility and reliability improvements for iOS, web, and BLE devices. Known for disciplined test documentation, version control hygiene, and pragmatic automation deployed on manufacturing lines, he thrives on solving flaky-test and device-interaction problems. Colleagues rely on his curiosity and deadline-driven approach to make complex hardware-software systems testable and repeatable.
