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.
