Senior Quality Assurance Automation Engineer

Senior Quality Assurance Automation Engineer

We are hiring Senior Test Automation Engineers to work on embedded, device-based systems in highly regulated environments. This is not a UI automation or web/mobile testing role.

The role is heavily focused on integration testing, system-level automation, and hardware-adjacent testing, where Python is used to translate human-readable requirements into reliable, executable automation.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design and implement integration-level automated tests for embedded and device-based systems
• Translate English requirements and BDD scenarios into machine-executable Python automation
• Drive test scenarios from requirements, not just execute pre‑written scripts
• Work across multiple layers of the system, including:
  • Hardware interfaces
  • Embedded software
  • Backend services and APIs
• Execute tests via command line and terminal‑based workflows
• Automate and validate RESTful APIs and system integrations
• Support on‑target testing and Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HIL) testing
• Collaborate closely with embedded, system, and development teams to ensure quality, safety, and reliability

Core Technical Requirements

• Strong Python experience for automation and system‑level testing
• Solid understanding of:
  • Object‑Oriented programming
  • System layers and test architecture
• Hands‑on experience with:
  • Linux environments (strong indicator of fit)
  • Command‑line tools and scripting
  • RESTful APIs and integration testing
  • Experience building automation frameworks, not just writing test cases

Testing Experience Required

• Integration testing experience is mandatory

Experience with

• On-target testing
• Unit testing alone is not sufficient for this role
