Software Engineer (Python) – Test Automation & Infrastructure

Your contribution to something big:  

As a Software Developer (Python), you will play a crucial role in the development and maintenance of automated test environments and validation frameworks for Linux-based embedded software projects. You will enable fully automated testing of embedded systems in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments and support the continuous improvement of software quality throughout the development lifecycle. 

You will contribute to this goal by: 

Test Environment Development & Automation 

• Developing and maintaining Python-based test frameworks for Linux embedded software projects. 
• Enabling fully automated testing of embedded software in Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) setups. 
• Implementing automated execution of test cases, component resets, log collection, bug reporting, and consolidated test reporting. 
• Developing automation solutions using Pytest and modern software engineering practices. 
• Supporting continuous integration and continuous testing activities.

Software Design & Architecture 

• Designing scalable, maintainable, and robust software architectures for test environments and engineering tools. 
• Defining and implementing KPI measurements to monitor software quality, reliability, and testing efficiency. 
• Creating reusable libraries, APIs, and services to support validation and testing activities across engineering teams. 
• Contributing to the evolution of software architecture, coding standards, and development methodologies. 

Embedded Systems Validation 

• Supporting all software testing activities from requirements management through test specification, implementation, execution, reporting, and defect tracking. 
• Analyzing CAN communication traces and system behavior to identify issues and improve product quality. 
• Working closely with software, electronics, and system engineering teams to ensure complete validation coverage. 

Tooling & Infrastructure 

• Working with modern development and testing tools in a Linux environment. 
• Utilizing Git, GitHub, Jira, Jenkins, and CI/CD pipelines to support efficient development and validation processes. 
• Integrating and utilizing debugging and analysis tools such as Lauterbach and SEGGER interfaces. 
• Supporting automation and infrastructure improvements for validation environments. 

Documentation & Reporting 

• Creating and maintaining technical documentation, including software architecture, test frameworks, operational procedures, and user guides. 
• Producing clear, traceable test reports and ensuring transparency of testing results. 
• Supporting knowledge sharing and continuous process improvement within the team.
