💼 About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Embedded Software SDET/QA Engineer with 7–10 years of experience to drive quality strategy and validation for embedded firmware platforms across microcontroller-based systems and embedded Linux.

This role involves system-level validation across firmware, Linux, hardware, and networking layers for safety-critical, real-time embedded devices.

🔧 Key Responsibilities

Quality Strategy & System-Level Validation

• Define and own QA/SDET strategy across MCU/RTOS and embedded Linux platforms
• Translate system requirements into verification plans (functional, integration, performance, reliability, safety)
• Validate end-to-end workflows across firmware, Linux, networking, and hardware
• Establish quality gates, release criteria, and risk-based validation strategies

Embedded System & Real-Time Validation

• Validate interrupts, timing constraints, watchdogs, and recovery mechanisms
• Test system behavior under abnormal conditions (power loss, network issues, hardware faults)
• Ensure deterministic behavior in safety-critical environments

Protocol & Connectivity Testing

• Test TCP/IP, UDP/multicast, RS485/RS232, Modbus
• Validate SIP basics, MQTT/TLS, OTA updates, provisioning, telemetry
• Perform network stress testing (latency, packet loss, reconnection scenarios)

Automation & Test Architecture

• Design test automation frameworks, harnesses, simulators, HIL/SIL setups
• Build automation using Python/C/C++
• Integrate test pipelines with CI/CD and reporting dashboards

Hardware Integration & Lab Validation

• Support board bring-up and system integration testing
• Validate sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces
• Use lab tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers

Debugging & Root Cause Analysis

• Perform deep debugging using logs, traces, and packet captures
• Diagnose issues across firmware, OS, hardware, and networking layers

Release, Compliance & Traceability

• Execute regression and release validation
• Maintain traceability (RTM, defects, test cases)
• Support compliance standards (UL, IEC, FCC, CE)

Observability & Diagnostics

• Validate logging, telemetry, and diagnostics systems
• Ensure field-level serviceability and debugging capability

Leadership & Collaboration

• Mentor junior QA engineers and define best practices
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams
• Communicate risks and quality metrics to leadership

🎓 Qualifications

• 7–10 years in Embedded QA/SDET (preferably safety-critical systems)
• Bachelor’s/Master’s in CS, Electronics, Electrical, or related field
• Strong understanding of MCUs, RTOS, embedded Linux, and system-level design
• Hands-on experience in Python/C/C++ test automation
• Strong debugging skills using logs, traces, and lab tools
• Experience in networking protocols testing and packet analysis
• Experience with traceability, compliance, and regulated environments
• Strong ownership, leadership, and communication skills

🛠 Tech Stack & Tools

• Python, C/C++, Bash
• PyTest, unittest, GoogleTest, custom frameworks
• Microcontrollers (Renesas, Microchip, Cypress), RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr), Embedded Linux
• TCP/IP, UDP, SIP basics
• Git, Jenkins, GitHub Actions
• Jira, test management tools, RTM
• Oscilloscope, logic analyzer, protocol analyzers, Wireshark

⭐ Core Competencies

• Quality Strategy
• Test Architecture
• Embedded Systems Validation
