The posting

Embedded QA Engineer

Bring your curiosity. Bring your troubleshooting skills. Expect to get hands-on.

A device stops responding. Is it the software, a network setting, a loose connection or something nobody has thought of yet? If you enjoy following the evidence until you find the answer, you could be exactly who we’re looking for.

At Vix Technology, we’re looking for an Embedded QA Engineer to test the software behind physical devices, displays and on-vehicle equipment. Your work will help us release reliable products that perform in the real world—even when the power drops, the network disappears or a device needs to recover on its own.

What you’ll get stuck into

You’ll take ownership of manual and system-level testing, setting up equipment, installing software builds and creating reliable, repeatable test environments. From checking everyday functionality to exploring awkward edge cases, you’ll put our products through their paces and provide clear evidence of what’s ready for release.

Some days, you’ll be working through Linux logs, checking application behaviour or investigating communication between devices and supporting services. On others, you’ll be tracing a wiring fault, making a test cable or reaching for a multimeter. You’ll need to feel equally comfortable at the command line and the test bench.

You’ll explore how equipment behaves during startup, shutdown, reboots, power loss and network interruptions. When something fails, you’ll reproduce the problem, work out where it originates and give developers the detail they need to resolve it.

Along the way, you’ll keep test plans, defect reports, release versions and device configurations accurate and easy to follow. You’ll also run existing automated tests, investigate failures and help identify where additional coverage would make a difference. Sharing discoveries and supporting junior colleagues will be part of the job too.

Requirements

What you’ll bring

We’re interested in people who combine strong testing instincts with practical technical skills. You should have:

  • Experience testing software on embedded hardware, with strong manual, exploratory and integration testing skills.
  • Confidence troubleshooting embedded Linux using command-line tools, SSH, logs, process checks and configuration files.
  • Practical networking knowledge, including TCP/IP, ports, static IP addresses, gateways and DNS.
  • Hands-on electronics skills: making and repairing cables, soldering and crimping connections, reading wiring diagrams and schematics, and using multimeters and oscilloscopes to investigate faults.
  • A clear, methodical approach to test documentation, release records and defect reporting, with experience using tools such as Git and Jira.

You’ll be comfortable investigating across software, operating systems, networking, power and hardware, including unfamiliar or legacy platforms. You don’t need advanced circuit design experience, but you should be able to set up equipment safely and investigate hardware-related failures independently.

A few useful extras

Experience with Robot Framework, scripting in Python or Bash, MQTT, serial communications, GPIO or watchdogs would be welcome. Familiarity with Windows CE, .NET Compact Framework, Docker, simulators or device connections to cloud and back-office services would also come in handy.

We’re open to thoughtful use of approved AI tools to help develop test scenarios, analyse findings and improve documentation. You’ll remain responsible for checking the results and protecting confidential information.

Sound like your kind of challenge?

You’re curious, persistent and organised. You can work through incomplete documentation, explain a tricky fault clearly and keep investigating when a problem only appears once every twenty reboots.

If you enjoy understanding how the whole system works—and helping make it more reliable—we’d love to hear from you.

Benefits

Besides the opportunity to work for a global company that is customer and people focused, we offer:

  • A focus on learning and development
  • A great team of like-minded professionals
  • Private Healthcare
  • Income Protection Scheme
  • Pension
  • Group Life Assurance
  • Cycle to Work Scheme

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.
