Embedded Software Test Engineer

Conduct embedded software testing on real hardware systems

• Develop, automate, and execute Python-based test scripts and frameworks
• Perform hardware/software integration testing
• Read and interpret electrical schematics and technical documentation
• Utilize electronic test equipment (power supplies, DAQs, function generators, etc.) for system validation and troubleshooting
• Test and validate embedded communication protocols (CAN, SPI, I2C, RS232)
• Build and modify test fixtures, harnesses, and support mechatronic systems
• Perform software verification and validation (V&V), including:
• Worst-case timing analysis
• Memory margin analysis
• Structural coverage
• Data/control coupling analysis
• Use CAN analysis tools (e.g., PCAN Explorer) for network validation

Strong expertise in Python test automation and Python-based projects

• Embedded C proficiency
• Hardware/software integration experience
• Experience with embedded hardware and electronic systems
• Familiarity with communication protocols: CAN, SPI, I2C, RS232
• Ability to work with high voltage electronics (270VDC or 115VAC)
• Experience with standard lab/test equipment
• Ability to read and understand schematics, datasheets, and technical documentation

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with DO-178 (software certification for aerospace)
• Familiarity with LabVIEW and NI DAQ systems
• Experience with PCAN Explorer or similar CAN tools
• GUI testing experience (e.g., Squish or equivalent tools)
• Processor experience (e.g., F28335)
• Proficiency with Git/GitHub for software configuration management
• Experience with Python-based GUI development (Tkinter/QT preferred)
• Familiarity with Vim, regular expressions, and text-based data processing tools
• Experience working with mechatronic systems, This role requires a hands-on embedded software test engineer with advanced Python automation skills, hardware/software integration experience, and proficiency in embedded C. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in embedded systems, be comfortable working with test equipment and high voltage electronics, and thrive in a multidisciplinary environment, preferably within the aerospace, defense, or automotive industries. Experience with communication protocols, test automation, and V&V methodologies is critical. Preferred candidates will also have familiarity with industry tools such as LabVIEW, PCAN Explorer, and GUI testing frameworks.
