## About the Role

We are looking for a System Test Engineer to join our growing team and help scale our embedded software verification efforts. This role has the opportunity to expand into broader areas of the system - including sensing and model behaviour testing - depending on company needs and the individual's experience. The ideal candidate is a self-starter with a sharp eye for improvement across multiple engineering domains.

## Description

Develop automation for system functionality tests at component, integration, and system levels across software and hardware boundaries.

 - Develop open-loop and closed-loop replay HiL tests, reliability and fault-injection tests, and traceability dashboards for verification and release.

 - Automate Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) test setups to support coverage expansion and debug workflows.

 - Lead root cause investigations for failures identified during test campaigns, collaborating across hardware, software, and DevOps teams.

 - Optimise CI/CD-integrated test workflows to ensure rapid, reliable, and repeatable test execution.

 - Integrate third-party verification tools including JAMA (requirements), MC/DC (coverage), and MISRA (style compliance); manage artefacts via Artifactory and Azure.

 - Define and track KPIs and quality metrics for system testing, supporting data-driven validation and release decisions.

 - Uncover potential software and hardware bugs through increased test coverage and report findings through JIRA.

 - Identify and implement infrastructure improvements to enhance test coverage, failure traceability, and compliance reporting.
