Embedded Software Test Automation Designer

Key Responsibilities:

• Analyze system and software requirements and translate them into effective verification strategies, test plans, and detailed test cases 

• Design, implement, and maintain automated tests at the unit, integration, system, and hardware-in-the-loop levels 

• Develop and maintain test automation infrastructure for embedded software, including custom HIL setups, device simulators, test harnesses, and supporting tools

• Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines in GitLab to enable reliable automated testing, regression testing, reporting, and release readiness 

• Document and report verification results with traceability to requirements  

• Create and maintain workflow automations and internal tooling using platforms such as n8n, scripting, and other automation frameworks 

• Write robust automated tests using open source tools such as PyTest, Bash unit, GTest, and other suitable frameworks for the target environment

• Review code and test code with an emphasis on reliability, testability, maintainability, and overall software quality 

• Investigate failures, identify root causes, and work with developers to resolve issues efficiently 

• Track verification progress, test results, and quality metrics, with clear traceability to requirements where needed

• Help define and promote best practices for testing, automation, observability, and software quality across the engineering organization 

• Identify opportunities to improve developer efficiency and product quality through better tooling, automation, process improvements, and test strategy 

• Apply static and dynamic analysis tools (SonarQube, Cppcheck, Pylint, CodeSonar) to identify and track defects 

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field 

• 5+ years of experience in software testing, verification, test automation, or a similar role, preferably in embedded systems 

• Strong experience analyzing requirements and developing structured test plans and test cases 

• Hands-on experience building automated test frameworks and infrastructure for embedded or hardware-integrated software systems

• Strong proficiency in Python and Bash for test development, scripting, and automation 

• Experience writing and maintaining automated tests using frameworks such as pytest, bash unit, or similar tools 

• Experience with CI/CD systems, preferably GitLab CI/CD, including pipeline design, test integration, and reporting 

• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing, simulators, or custom test rigs for embedded devices

• Solid understanding of software development workflows, code review practices, and quality assurance principles 

• Ability to work across disciplines and balance strategic test planning with hands-on implementation 

Bonus Points:

• Experience with embedded Linux environments 

• Experience leveraging AI tooling to accelerate development velocity without sacrificing quality 

• Experience testing software that interfaces with hardware, peripherals, sensors, or communication buses 

• Familiarity with containerized test environments and development tools 

• Experience building internal developer tools or workflow automations using platforms such as n8n 

• Familiarity with static analysis, code quality tooling, and test coverage reporting 

• Experience in regulated, safety-critical, or mission-critical industries 

• Knowledge of C or C++ in addition to Python and Bash 

Work Model:

This is a hybrid role with a strong remote emphasis. Occasional onsite work may be required to support specific tasks such as hardware testing, system integration, or in-person collaboration.
