• Minimum of 2 years validating high-quality embedded products, preferably in power electronics or critical power solutions.
• At least 3 years developing automation with Python.

Skills

• Proven experience in implementing System Automation Test Frameworks for complex embedded, on-premises, cloud, and mobile application systems.
• Strong understanding of embedded system architecture, control loops, and principal system operating modes.
• Extensive hands-on experience testing power electronics or LSS-related systems, with exposure to three-phase systems, battery-tie converters, or power-distribution equipment considered an asset.
• Proficient in using Python-based automation frameworks such as Robot Framework or Pytest.
• Experienced in cloud-based testing and automation, including emulation of big data and automated data handling.
• Skilled in creating system-level test cases and contributing to test plans for embedded firmware and application software.
• Working knowledge of data-driven testing, CI/CD-based automation, and developing test scripts or harnesses for Linux and Windows environments.
• Familiarity with version control and project-tracking tools such as Git, SVN, Jira, or TFS.
• Basic understanding of network-enabled communication protocols, message handling, and data storage systems.
• Exposure to communication protocols such as MQTT, MODBUS, or RS232/485 is preferred but not mandatory.
• Knowledge of HIL simulation concepts or experience working with real-time embedded HIL setups.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze logs, waveforms, and measurements using oscilloscopes, analyzers, and related diagnostic tools. Communicates technical concepts and information to internal staff/peers and stakeholders; strong verbal, documentation, and interpersonal communication skills required.
