In this role, you collaborate closely with software developers and cross-functional stakeholders, create and execute manual and automated test cases, and contribute to robust verification strategies based on product requirements. This position is ideal for someone with a strong background in embedded systems and a passion for systematic testing and quality assurance., * Develop comprehensive verification plans and test strategies based on product requirements and design documentation.

  • Create, execute, and maintain manual and automated test cases for embedded electronic systems and software.
  • Validate system functionality, performance, reliability, and quality across various operating conditions.
  • Identify, document, and track defects through their full lifecycle, ensuring timely resolution and clear communication.
  • Perform regression testing to confirm that new changes do not negatively impact existing functionality.
  • Communicate test results, findings, and risks clearly to software developers and other stakeholders.
  • Participate actively in requirements, design, and technical reviews to influence testability and quality early in the lifecycle.
  • Document test procedures, test environments, and results to support compliance, traceability, and repeatability.
  • Use electronic test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and power supplies to support system-level verification.
  • Review source code where needed to derive effective and targeted test cases.
  • Contribute to the improvement of automated testing frameworks and processes in an Agile/Scrum environment., You will work in a collaborative engineering environment that emphasizes product quality, reliability, and systematic verification of embedded systems. The role involves close interaction with software developers and participation in Agile/Scrum ceremonies such as sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives. You will use modern software development and lifecycle tools, including version control, requirements management, and bug tracking systems, as well as electronic test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and power supplies to validate hardware/software interactions. The environment supports both manual and automated testing, encourages the use of scripting and programming languages like Python, Bash, and C, and may involve working with Linux-based platforms, bare-metal systems, and RTOS architectures. The culture values clear documentation, repeatable processes, and open communication to ensure high-quality product releases., Regression Testing Time Off Management Software Engineering Software Development Computer Engineering Product Requirements Programming Languages Sprint Retrospectives Artificial Intelligence Product Quality (QA/QC) Requirements Management C (Programming Language) Bash (Scripting Language) Software Technical Review Electronic Test Equipment Engineering Design Process Bug Tracking And Management Real-Time Operating Systems Employee Assistance Programs Scrum (Software Development) Python (Programming Language) Influencing Without Authority Continuous Improvement Process +0, Control Systems Software Design Embedded Systems Diagnostic Tools Microcontrollers Embedded Software CANape (Software) Regression Testing SAE J1939 Standard Workflow Management Integration Testing Computer Engineering Technical Leadership Programming Languages Sustaining Engineering New Product Development Artificial Intelligence Wireless Communications C (Programming Language) Hardware Troubleshooting Internet Of Things (IoT) Communications Protocols Engineering Design Process C++ (Programming Language) Embedded Operating Systems Real-Time Operating Systems Continuous Improvement Process Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Automated Storage And Retrieval Systems +0
