Job Title: Embedded Test Engineer
Job Description
As an Embedded Test Engineer, you will analyze and refine customer and engineering requirements, ensuring clarity, completeness, testability, and strong traceability across software, hardware, and system levels. You will design, develop, and automate test plans, procedures, protocols, software, and scripts to create a robust, engineering-grade verification pipeline that ties test artifacts back to its originating requirement. Additionally, you will apply software-engineering practices to the full lifecycle testing of embedded systems, including development and enhancement of unit, integration, regression, performance, and functional tests using both manual and automated methods.
Responsibilities

  • Build, maintain, and evolve automated test frameworks and tooling to improve coverage, reliability, and developer efficiency, treating test infrastructure as critical software.
  • Work collaboratively with cross-functional engineering teams (Software, Electrical, Mechanical) and Program Management to ensure testability is built into designs early and maintained throughout development.
  • Execute verification activities across functional, environmental, and reliability domains, thoroughly documenting results, analyzing issues, and communicating technical findings to stakeholders.
  • Contribute to root cause and corrective action (RCCA) efforts by approaching failures with a software-engineering mindset focused on debugging, system behavior insights, and long-term robustness.
  • Continuously improve test methods, automation strategies, frameworks, and documentation to drive higher quality, stronger traceability, and better engineering outcomes.
Essential Skills
  • Strong proficiency in C/C++ programming for embedded Linux, RTOS, and Bare-metal environments.
  • Experience in C# for creating GUIs that can communicate to embedded devices.
  • Experience with scripting languages like Python and Bash.
  • Experience integrating software with custom processor-based circuit card assemblies.
  • Experience in requirements development and management.
  • Familiarity with formal verification procedures.
  • Ability to work effectively in a team environment on projects with a large number of requirements.
