Software Engineering - Systems Test Engineer P3

OSI Maritime Systems, a pioneer of Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), is a market leader on marine navigation. The OSI Software Suite was developed for use on military vessels designed to enhance situational awareness and improve navigational safety. Navies worldwide have made ECPINS Warship their choice for warship ECDIS because of the advanced features and OSI’s extensive experience in warship navigation.

In the Software Engineering Department, we are passionate about building the best maritime navigation software. Our driven Engineers do that through their mastery of modern tools, technical expertise, and adhering to Software Engineering best practices. Our team has produced the innovative OSI Software Suite, for safe and reliable navigation.

The Systems Test Engineer 3 applies the principles of software engineering to plan, test, and maintain OSI software products. The Systems Test Engineer designs develops and executes methods of test and troubleshooting, to be used on complex systems to confirm functionality and integrity. The Systems Test Engineer carries individual responsibility for the successful verification and validation of system requirements and software features.

The Systems Test Engineer will collaborate with a team of multidisciplinary engineers and stakeholders to ensure the successful delivery of our software products to end users and customers. Our Engineers have a focus on collaboration, and assist their team with devising innovative technical solutions and proactively removing roadblocks. As a group, the engineers work together to complete software testing activities through the full software lifecycle.

To do this the Systems Test Engineer must demonstrate strong communication skills and interpersonal skills. The OSI Systems Test Engineer exhibits professionalism, integrity, and ownership.
