Job Title: Embedded Software Test Engineer / Embedded Software Validation & Automation Engineer

Job Description

This role focuses on designing, developing, and executing automated tests to validate embedded software and hardware/software systems in a high-technology automotive environment. The Embedded Software Test Engineer will develop test automation, validate software running on or interacting with embedded controllers, troubleshoot system-level issues, and ensure reliable communication between software, ECUs, vehicle networks, and connected hardware.The ideal candidate will have a strong in embedded software testing, C/C++ development or scripting, automotive communication protocols, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, and automated validation.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain automated tests for embedded software, firmware, ECUs, and hardware/software integrated systems.
Develop automated test tools and scripts using C, C++, C#, Python, or similar programming/scripting languages.
Create detailed test plans, test cases, procedures, and regression suites for embedded software requirements.
Perform functional, integration, system, regression, and end-to-end testing of embedded applications.
Validate communication between embedded controllers, vehicle networks, diagnostic applications, APIs, and connected hardware.
Test automotive communication and diagnostic protocols such as CAN, UDS, DoIP, J2534, and OBD-II.
Develop and execute testing in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), bench, simulator, or hardware-based test environments.
Analyze logs, traces, diagnostic messages, and test results to identify software and system-level defects.
Troubleshoot failures involving embedded software, firmware, hardware interfaces, communication protocols, and vehicle networks.
Collaborate with embedded software, systems, electrical, and test engineers to define validation strategies and improve test coverage.
Automate regression testing and integrate embedded validation tests into CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Git, or comparable tools.
Verify software against system and software requirements and support formal verification and validation activities.
Support root-cause analysis of complex issues spanning software, firmware, electronics, communications, and connected systems.
Continuously improve automated testing frameworks, test infrastructure, and embedded validation processes.

Essential Skills

38+ years of experience as an Embedded Software Test Engineer, Embedded Software Validation Engineer, Firmware Test Engineer, Software Verification Engineer, Automotive Software Test Engineer, Systems Validation Engineer, or Test Automation Engineer.

Programming or scripting experience using C, C++, C#, Python, or similar languages for test development and automation.
Experience with embedded software verification and validation, including test plans, test procedures, test cases, and regression testing.
Experience performing functional, integration, system, and end-to-end testing of embedded systems.
Experience debugging issues involving software-to-hardware interactions and system-level behavior.
Experience working with communication interfaces or protocols such as CAN, Ethernet/TCP/IP, serial communications, or similar embedded interfaces.
Experience using Git and modern source control practices.
