Embedded software test engineer

• Test Strategy & Planning: Analyze software and system requirements to develop and define comprehensive test strategies for black-box, functional, and integration-level testing
• Test Case Development: Author, review, and maintain detailed, clear, and robust test cases that effectively validate software functionality against system requirements
• Test Automation: Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks, primarily using Python, to increase testing efficiency, scalability, and repeatability on Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test environments
• Environment & CI/CD Management: Set up, configure, and maintain test environments and benches. Integrate automated tests into a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline using tools like Jenkins
• Execution & Analysis: Execute manual and automated test suites, meticulously analyze the results, and generate comprehensive test reports to communicate findings to development and project management teams
• Defect Management: Identify, document, and track software defects with a high degree of detail. Collaborate closely with software developers to reproduce, debug, and support the triage and resolution of these issues
• Continuous Improvement: Proactively contribute to quality improvement initiatives by analyzing defect escape patterns, identifying gaps in test coverage, and enhancing test cases and methodologies to prevent future regressions

• A strong foundation in embedded software testing methodologies and a deep understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC)
• Proven hands-on experience in black-box testing for embedded systems on target hardware or Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) setups
• Proficiency with automotive communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, and Automotive Ethernet, along with experience using corresponding analysis tools (e.g., CANalyzer, Vehicle Spy)
• Demonstrable coding experience in Python for the purpose of test automation and scripting
• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field

• Experience with Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) tools, particularly Jenkins, for test automation and pipeline management
• Previous experience in requirement analysis and review within an automotive or embedded systems context
• Familiarity with automotive diagnostic protocols (e.g., UDS)
• Prior professional experience within the automotive industry is highly advantageous

This role at a top automotive company offers high-demand skills in embedded testing and Python automation. You'll gain valuable experience in a growing industry, directly impacting vehicle safety and features
