Job description

This role focuses on integrating and testing embedded Linux-based energy and charging system controllers. You will design scalable regression testing solutions, build and maintain advanced test environments, and collaborate closely with system software and BSP engineers to ensure high-quality, reliable embedded Linux platforms across a growing product portfolio., * Design and implement scalable regression testing frameworks for embedded Linux platforms, integrating them with CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins and PyTest.

  • Collaborate with system software and BSP engineers to validate hardwaresoftware interactions and debug complex embedded Linux issues.
  • Build and maintain HIL and SIL test environments using programmable power supplies, managed switches, IoT relays, and other hardware-in-the-loop components.
  • Develop AI-driven tools to analyze test data, predict failures, and automate triage workflows to improve test efficiency and reliability.
  • Partner with QA and test automation teams to define comprehensive test strategies and ensure alignment with system-level requirements.
  • Aid in the validation of codebase changes to ensure the quality and robustness of shipped embedded Linux code.
  • Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other debugging tools to investigate hardware-related issues and verify system behavior.
  • Translate technical documentation and system requirements into clear, testable specifications and executable test cases., You will work in a technical, lab-oriented environment focused on embedded Linux energy and charging system controllers. The role involves frequent interaction with hardware test setups, including HIL and SIL environments, programmable power supplies, managed switches, IoT relays, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers. You will use Python, PyTest, CI/CD systems such as Jenkins, and various networking technologies including CAN, Ethernet, and TCP/IP. The environment encourages close collaboration with system software, BSP, QA, and test automation engineers, with a strong emphasis on building scalable, automated test solutions and leveraging AI-driven tools to improve quality and reliability.
