Test Automation Engineer - EdgeBeam Wireless - Boston, MA

Who We Are

EdgeBeam is the world’s first Hybrid Network Operator (HNO)—a foundational layer at the edge enabling one-to-many data distribution for today’s wireless networks. We create & sell wireless services and solutions that solve edge connectivity challenges to connect people, data & devices through the untapped potential of broadcast networks.

Location & Work Dynamics

This position is headquartered in our Boston Seaport office and is a dedicated onsite role, not remote or hybrid. At this critical stage of EdgeBeam's growth, we believe that high-fidelity, in-person collaboration is essential to our success.

Role Overview

This role exists to make Edgebeam’s Playwright suite a reliable, gated part of the CI/CD pipeline — and to expand automation coverage as that pipeline matures. You will own the CI/CD side of the test platform (Playwright in GitHub Actions, smoke gates on pull requests, results integration with our test aggregation and case management systems) and increasingly write the API and UI automation tests that run through it. Early focus is making the pipeline trustworthy. Once it is, your day shifts toward authoring tests, expanding coverage, and partnering with engineering on test design for new features.
