We are always looking for amazing talent who can contribute to our growth and deliver results! Geotab is seeking a Embedded Systems Test Engineer who will develop and maintain automated testing solutions to ensure the quality and reliability of software and embedded systems. If you love technology, and are keen to join an industry leader — we would love to hear from you!
What you'll do:As a Embedded Systems Test Engineer, your key area of responsibility will be working closely with developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to define and implement test strategies, automate manual tests, and integrate testing into the CI/CD pipeline. You will focus on creating, executing, and maintaining automated test scripts, managing test coverage, and optimizing testing tools and processes. Depending on the scope, this includes either embedded systems testing (hardware/software integration, real-time constraints, firmware) or software applications testing (web, mobile, desktop, regression, and smoke tests). You will need to work closely with developers, product managers, and other technical teams. To be successful in this role, you will be a highly organized team player with excellent verbal and written communication skills, strong interpersonal relationship-building skills, and the ability to work well under pressure and respond to fast-changing priorities and deadlines. In addition, the successful candidate will have strong technical competence, solid knowledge of software development and QA practices, and the ability to manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously.
How you'll make an impact:Design, develop, and maintain automation frameworks for testing software applications (e.g., web, mobile, desktop) or embedded systems (e.g., firmware, device drivers, telematics hardware).
Write automated test scripts in programming languages such as Python, Java, C++, or similar. Ensure these tests are integrated into the development pipeline to facilitate continuous testing and quality assurance.
Define, design, and implement CI/CD pipelines to automate the build, test, and deployment process. Ensure smooth integration of automated tests into the overall development workflow.
Manage test coverage for both functional and non-functional requirements. Ensure all new features and changes are properly tested.
Work closely with developers, product managers, and other technical teams to identify testing requirements and define testing strategies. Provide guidance on test automation best practices.
Build and maintain test environments, including setting up necessary tools and infrastructure for both software and embedded system testing. Ensure tools are up to date and aligned with industry best practices.
For embedded systems, focus on hardware-software integration, real-time performance, memory constraints, and ensuring reliability and safety. For software applications, focus on validating performance, scalability, and functionality.
Proactively monitor test results, logs, and system behavior. Identify issues early and report them in a structured manner. Develop scripts for log scraping and issue tracking automation.
Stay current with industry trends, new testing technologies, and automation tools. Continuously improve test processes, automation frameworks, and methodologies to ensure better efficiency and effectiveness in testing.
