I'm not sure what you did back then. But alot of QA (testing) these days is done by developers... especially on embedded and low level systems. It is extreemly challenging and technical. It usually involves development skills as well as trouble shooting and very good communications skills.
Many people see QA as "entry level", a bunch of monkeys banging on a keyboard of some business app trying to make it fail. But, a good QA person knows how to plan a test, write test plans, define boundary testing, define surface area for security attacks, and then write code to automate it all including controlling the environment etc. QA can be a very technical and challenging job.
