Role Summary
Execute the established test plan for your assigned embedded product release—ensuring test and build environment readiness and delivering high‑quality release outcomes.
As a key contributor, you’ll drive defect discovery/triage, strengthen processes, and collaborate across engineering to ship reliable releases that meet stringent customer and industry expectations.
Responsibilities
- Own the release/test cycle & its execution: Execute manual and automated test suites; track outcomes and publish comprehensive quality reports and status updates.
- Ensure release integrity: Verify that all release packages and supporting documentation are complete and compliant with defined development and release processes; maintain the release repository (artifacts, documentation, dependencies, credentials, notification lists).
- Build & maintain environments: Create Windows/Linux build server VMs, install toolchains/dev tools, perform health checks, and resolve environment issues to keep testing productive and predictable.
- Analyze builds & triage defects: Investigate failing tests, log clear issues, and partner with development to resolve root causes and prevent recurrence.
- Utilize CI pipelines: Execute established Jenkins pipelines and Python driver/build scripts (e.g., SCons) that accelerate validation and release workflows.
- Continuously improve: Utilizing your knowledge and skills, contribute to process improvements that reduce cycle time, increase coverage, and elevate quality across the org.
Must-Have Skills & Experience
- 3–5 years of professional QA experience in embedded software environments.
- Skilled at hardware setup/assembly and troubleshooting; comfortable with Linux and Windows environments (RTOS exposure such as PikeOS, VxWorks, Integrity is an asset).
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent diploma in Computer Science, Computer/Software Engineering, or related field.
- Hands‑on expertise in manual, automated, and performance testing with a strong grasp of the SDLC and structured test methodologies.
- Practical programming/scripting in Python; familiarity with C/C++ to enable embedded debugging and test harnesses.
Nice to Have
- Experience with 3D graphics validation (OpenGL or Vulkan) is beneficial for graphics driver/application testing.
- Proficiency with source control and CI/CD (e.g., Git, Jenkins); able to create and run build/test pipelines and supporting scripts.
- Experience in certification testing under DO‑178C and ISO 26262 is an asset.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; strong organization and analytical problem‑solving skills.
- Prior exposure to U.S. export control regulations or regulated development environments is an asset.
- Familiarity with Jira and SharePoint for planning, traceability, and release documentation.
Eligibility: Due to export‑controlled work, U.S. citizenship is required.
