Job description

Responsibilities

System-Level Test Planning & Strategy

• Assist in the development of comprehensive test plans covering functional, integration, performance, reliability, and stress testing, aligned with system requirements and architecture.

• Support in defining system‑level test methodologies and optimize test coverage to ensure end‑to‑end validation quality.

• Identify test coverage gaps and propose mitigation strategies with cross‑functional stakeholders.

System Integration & Validation

• Validate system behavior across hardware, firmware, and software subsystems to ensure interoperability.

• Conduct integration testing to verify compatibility between modules, interfaces, and configurations.

• Perform regression testing to ensure new features or changes do not impact existing functionality.

Test Execution & Defect Management

• Execute manual and automated test cases in lab environments involving hardware prototypes and test fixtures.

• Reproduce, document, and escalated defects using structured logs, traces, and system diagnostics.

• Collaborate with designers, firmware engineers, and system architects for root‑cause analysis.

Test Automation & Tooling

• Develop and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks to increase coverage and efficiency.

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.

• Enhance test tooling for repeatability and productivity, supporting both R&D and production‑level testing.

Requirements Analysis & Traceability

• Review system requirements and translate them into clear, testable specifications.

• Maintain bidirectional traceability between requirements, test cases, and validation results.

Performance, Stress & Reliability Testing

• Evaluate system performance under various environmental and operational conditions.

• Conduct long-duration reliability, endurance, stress, and soak testing.

• Identify system bottlenecks and recommend optimizations to engineering counterparts.

Documentation & Reporting

• Produce detailed test reports, defect summaries, and validation sign‑off documents.

• Maintain documentation for test procedures, automation scripts, and system setup configurations.

Continuous Improvement

• Analyze test results, field issues, and system failures to refine test strategies.

• Recommend new tools, methods, and technologies for improved test efficiency.

Requirements

• Diploma or Degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent.

• 1–2 years in R&D, system testing, integration testing, or embedded product validation roles.

• Experience in hardware‑software integration testing is highly preferred.

• Understanding of system‑level testing methodologies, integration practices, and QA processes.

• Strong capability in defect identification, failure analysis, and structured troubleshooting.

• Proficiency in test design (e.g., V‑model), test case creation, and coverage analysis.

• Knowledge of requirements‑design‑test traceability management.

• Basic to intermediate proficiency in Python and C for test automation; ability to write scripts to streamline repetitive tasks.

• Ability to set up and operate complex test environments (e.g., testbeds, test fixtures, instrumentation).

• Familiarity with general hardware concepts, embedded systems, system architecture, and interface protocols.

• Hands‑on experience working with hardware prototypes, measurement tools, and debugging equipment.

• Experience with CI/CD automated validation pipelines.

• Knowledge of industrial automation, sensors, or embedded firmware testing.

• Exposure to system integration testing across multi‑component platforms.

• Familiarity with test management and defect‑tracking tools (e.g., JIRA, TestRail).
