Test Automation Engineer

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain automated test frameworks for embedded systems, including hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) and software‑in‑the‑loop (SIL) setups.
• Design and implement test scripts for sensor data validation, communication protocols and real‑time performance checks.
• Plan and execute both simulated and real‑world test scenarios to validate system functionality.
• Monitor test outcomes and proactively address performance regression to maintain system reliability.
• Collaborate with system engineers, software developers and QA teams.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines for continuous validation.
• Analyze test results, identify defects and work closely with development teams to resolve issues.
• Ensure compliance with relevant norms where applicable.

• University degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in test automation for embedded systems; knowledge of functional safety norms (e.g. EN 50128, EN 50716, IEC 61508) is a plus.
• Proficiency in Python, C/C++ or similar languages for test scripting.
• Experience with embedded platforms, sensor interfaces (e.g. Ethernet, CAN) and real‑time operating systems (RTOS).
• Familiarity with test frameworks (e.g. Gtest, PyTest), CI/CD tools (specifically Git Lab CI) and ROS
  2.
• Strong understanding of communication protocols and sensor data processing; exposure to railway, industrial or IoT sensor systems is a plus.

• Analytical mindset with strong problem‑solving skills.
• Attention to detail and commitment to quality.
• Effective communication skills for cross‑functional collaboration.
• Proactive and self‑driven approach to tasks and challenges.
