Job Description

The Embedded Software Test Engineer will focus on verifying and validating embedded electronic systems and software to ensure functionality, performance, reliability, and overall product quality before release.

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Essential Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 1–5 years of experience in software testing, verification, or validation.
• Hands‑on experience developing test cases from requirements and design documentation.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language such as Python, Bash, or C.

• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum development environments and iterative delivery practices.
• Ability to use electronic test equipment including oscilloscopes, multimeters, and power supplies.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with attention to detail in identifying and documenting defects.
• Effective communication skills to collaborate with software developers and technical stakeholders.
• Additional Skills & Qualifications
• Experience testing embedded systems, with a strong preference for candidates who have worked on embedded electronic products.
• Exposure to bare‑metal and/or RTOS‑based architectures and their constraints.
• Understanding of hardware/software interactions in electronic products and embedded environments.
• Experience with automated testing frameworks and tools for embedded or software systems.
• Ability to review and interpret source code to design targeted and meaningful test cases.
• Linux experience, including working in Linux‑based development or test environments.
• Interest in continuous improvement of test strategies, automation coverage, and quality processes.

Work 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.
