Job Description:

Our Client, a global leader in the automotive industry, is seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Embedded Software Test Engineer. This position joins a critical team responsible for developing and validating the control algorithms and software that power key vehicle features. This team’s portfolio includes embedded systems controlling climate, vehicle starting, locking mechanisms, interior/exterior lighting, alarm systems, windows, powered enclosures (like liftgates and sunroofs), and advanced seat controls. The ideal candidate will leverage their deep expertise in embedded systems and black box testing to ensure the robustness, reliability, and safety of this software before it reaches the customer. You will be responsible for translating complex requirements into comprehensive test strategies, automating test cases, and driving the defect management process from discovery to resolution.

Job Responsibility:

  • Test Strategy & Planning: Analyze and review system requirements to develop comprehensive black box test strategies, including functional, integration, and regression test plans
  • Test Case Development: Author, review, and maintain clear, concise, and thorough test cases that ensure full requirement coverage
  • Test Automation: Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks, primarily using Python, to increase testing efficiency and repeatability
  • Execution & Analysis: Execute manual and automated tests on HIL test environments, meticulously analyze results, and generate detailed test reports
  • Defect Management: Identify, document, and triage defects with precision. Collaborate closely with the development team to support defect reproduction, root cause analysis, and resolution
  • Environment & CI/CD: Set up and configure test environments, including HIL benches, and support the continuous integration (CI) pipeline (e.g., Jenkins)
  • Continuous Improvement: Actively participate in quality improvement initiatives by analyzing escaped defects from the field and enhancing test coverage to prevent future occurrences

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field
  • 3-5 years of professional experience in embedded software, with a strong emphasis on black box testing and verification
  • Working-level, hands-on experience with CAN and LIN communication protocols
  • A comprehensive understanding of software test methodologies and the process of translating system requirements into effective test cases
  • Proven experience with embedded software automation testing on hardware (HIL) and proficiency in Python scripting for test automation

Nice to have:

  • Experience with continuous integration tools, specifically Jenkins
  • Familiarity with the full test lifecycle, including test strategy definition, test case authoring, and defect management using tools like JIRA
  • Advanced degrees or relevant industry certifications (e.g., ISTQB)
What we offer:
  • High-Impact Work: Play a direct role in validating the tangible, customer-facing features that define the modern driving experience
  • Advanced Technology: Work hands-on with cutting-edge embedded systems, HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) test benches, and critical automotive network protocols
  • Collaborative Environment: Join a dynamic team of developers and engineers in a structured hybrid model designed for focused collaboration
