• Your work will include reviewing requirements, building risk-based test coverage, operating laboratory test setups, analyzing logs and traces, and providing clear release-quality recommendations.

• You will help improve test methods, automation, infrastructure, and engineering practices while mentoring QA engineers and driving issues to closure.

You Will Make an Impact By:

• Owning end-to-end software, firmware, and system validation activities, including test strategy, coverage, quality metrics, risk assessment, and release recommendations.

• Developing and executing test plans, test cases, and test procedures for embedded firmware, desktop applications, Windows- or Linux-based tools, APIs, services, user interfaces, and industrial control software.

• Validating communication and interaction between software, firmware, hardware, and external devices.

• Designing, developing, and maintaining automated test frameworks, reusable libraries, regression suites, and test-reporting solutions.

• Integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and improving automated build, execution, reporting, and traceability workflows.

• Identifying, documenting, prioritizing, and tracking defects with clear reproduction steps, logs, traces, and supporting evidence.

• Analyzing software logs, crash information, network traffic, protocol traces, hardware signals, and test results to isolate system-level failures.

• Maintaining QA environments, hardware-in-the-loop setups, simulators, automated fixtures, laboratory equipment, and test data.

• Collaborating with globally distributed development teams, communicating quality risks clearly, and mentoring QA engineers.

Skills You Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in software QA, firmware QA, embedded-system validation, or system verification, including ownership of complex validation activities.

• Strong knowledge of software testing methodologies, SDLC, STLC, defect lifecycle, requirement traceability, risk-based testing, and release-quality practices.

• Experience creating test strategies, test plans, test cases, test procedures, validation reports, quality metrics, and release summaries.

• Hands-on experience testing desktop, client-server, API, user-interface, embedded, or industrial control applications.

• Proficiency in Python, C#, or a similar programming language used for test automation.

• Experience developing maintainable automated test frameworks and integrating tests into CI/CD environments.

• Experience with API and UI testing tools such as Postman, Selenium, Playwright, or equivalent tools.

• Experience analyzing logs, traces, crash data, network traffic, and system behavior to investigate complex failures.

• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, or comparable debugging equipment.

• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, documentation, and English communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across global teams.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with defect and requirements tracking tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or equivalent systems.

• Experience with version control using Git and repository platforms such as GitLab, Azure Repos, or equivalent systems.

• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing, simulators, automated test fixtures, and laboratory infrastructure.

• Knowledge of industrial communication protocols such as EtherCAT, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP.

• ISTQB Foundation, Advanced, Test Automation Engineer, or an equivalent software-testing certification.

• Familiarity with IEC 61508, IEC 62443, ISO 26262, cybersecurity testing, or comparable regulated and safety-related standards.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
