System Software QA Engineer

What You'll Do

• System-level verification: Develop and execute verification strategies for system software, including functional, negative, robustness, and recovery testing.
• Automation & regression: Build and maintain automated regression suites (smoke → nightly → release gating), improving coverage and reducing flakiness.
• CI/CD integration & quality gates: Integrate tests into CI pipelines and implement objective quality gates using consistent run artifacts and results.
• Failure analysis & triage: Perform first-line triage of failures, isolate root causes (product vs environment vs test), and produce actionable defect reports with evidence.
• Metadata & traceability: Apply consistent test metadata (IDs, platforms, stages, features, relationships) to support filtering, reporting, and analytics.
• Observability & reporting: Ensure test results, logs, and metrics are visible through centralized tooling for faster decision-making and release readiness.
• Work with board design / system teams to define test platforms for the product.
• Mentor the test team, providing guidance and support to junior testers.
• Ensure the quality and reliability of software releases through rigorous verification processes.
• Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electronic/Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent practical experience). 5+ years of industry experience in embedded systems or software testing. 5+ years experience in test architecture and design definition. 5+ years hands on experience in developing test code for software systems using Python and PyTest.
• Strong test engineering fundamentals: test design, defect lifecycle, regression strategy, and quality gating concepts.
• Experience using CI and source control tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins , Git ) in day-to-day engineering workflows.
• Working knowledge of signal processing concepts such as Filters, Fast Fourier Transforms, Harmonic Distortion, etc.
• Desirable Skills & Tools (Advantageous) Test Frameworks & Execution Python : pytest / unittest and automation scripting for test execution and analysis.
• C++ : GoogleTest (including listener-based structured result reporting).
• C : Unity with Ceedling for build/test orchestration and filtering.
• Results, Logging, and Observability Grafana dashboards/reporting for quality trends and execution visibility.
• Graylog (or equivalent centralized logging) for log search, correlation, and triage.
• RabbitMQ / AMQP for event-based transport of test results/logs/metrics.
• DevOps / Infrastructure (Nice to Have) Familiarity with electronic power control systems.
• Docker / Docker Compose for reproducible test environments and scalable execution.
• Experience implementing reliable CI test stages, artifact retention, and automated gating policies.
• Proficient with project management related tools such as MS Project, Jama, Jira and Confluence.
• Experience in software development with C/C++.
• Experience with Agile workflows such as Scrum or Kanban.
