You build strong partnerships and work collaboratively with others to meet shared objectives. You anticipate and balance the needs of multiple stakeholders while maintaining a focus on quality and business outcomes. You learn through experimentation when tackling new challenges and use both successes and setbacks as opportunities for growth. You apply a broad perspective to solve complex technical problems and identify effective, sustainable solutions.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• A degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, Computer Science, or a comparable qualification.
• Experience with CI/CD practices, test automation, automated test frameworks, and modern development tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, Robot Framework, Docker, Git, or similar technologies.
• Strong scripting and programming skills, preferably in Python, C/C++, Bash, or related languages.
• Solid Linux knowledge and experience working in Linux-based development environments.
• Understanding of embedded systems, microcontrollers, hardware interfaces, and x86- or ARM-based platforms.
• An analytical, hands-on approach to problem-solving and a willingness to embrace agile, DevOps, and continuous improvement methodologies.
• Professional proficiency in English.

Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart:

• Experience with embedded Linux, Linux driver development, kernel configuration, or low-level software development.
• Knowledge of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and test infrastructure design.
• Familiarity with industrial automation, industrial PCs, PLCs, or related embedded hardware platforms.
• Experience implementing security, performance, or reliability testing in embedded environments.
• German language skills.
• Experience building test reporting dashboards, quality metrics, and scalable automation frameworks.
