Senior Software Development Engineer in Test - Verifiation And Validation

TLDR

Own the end-to-end validation strategy for critical safety systems while leading the development of advanced software infrastructure for high-fidelity testing.

In this role, you will:
  • Lead the design and maintenance of large-scale event-driven software/hardware -in-the-loop (SIL/HIL) testing frameworks, utilizing advanced software patterns to improve modularity and reduce code duplication.
  • Architect and manage end-to-end continuous integration (CI) pipelines to automate the execution of regression suites.
  • Lead root cause analysis for complex system-level failures, developing log mining scripts and visualization dashboards (e.g., Grafana, SQL-based notebooks) to triage failures and track performance metrics.
  • Perform gap analyses between high-level safety requirements and technical test implementations, including the development of intricate timing and prioritization patterns.Lead end-to-end validation and clearance process for safety-critical monitors, such as for collision detection systems.
  • Qualifications:
  • Good technical communication skills, with the ability to summarize complex test failures and provide clear impact assessments for our tests, tools, and pipelines.
  • Demonstrated experience delivering complex projects in Python, including the use of AI-based coding, such as for infrastructure development, tooling and automated test writing.
  • Deep understanding of HIL and SIL methodologies, including real-time fault injection
  • Ownership from design, to implementation and maintenance of automated testing pipelines (e.g., using Bamboo, Jenkins, or similar) and developing custom automation plugins.
  • Practical  knowledge of Linux internals and networking protocols used in high-throughput real-time systems.
  • Bachelors or higher degree in Mechatronics Engineering, Computer Science or a relevant technical field, such as Data Science or Electrical Engineering. 
    7+ of experience in the above, with demonstrated ownership of 3+ complex projects 
  • Bonus Qualifications:
  • Strong C++
  • Pytest customization experience
  • Background in autonomous systems or safety-critical robotics validation.
  • Experience applying Generative AI or Machine Learning tools to code, audit and improve test coverage and documentation.
  • Experience with data engineering tools like SQL, pyspark, Looker or
  • Databricks for large-scale performance analysis.
  • Experience with real-time communication protocols (e.g., DDS, I2C, SPI, CAN, GMSL2).
