Software Engineer in Test

Overview

Lead the full verification and validation (V&V) lifecycle for a dedicated grade control platform product team, shifting validation activities earlier in the development cycle.

What you'll do

• Collaborate with Product Owners to understand product features and customer expectations, ensuring solutions are intuitive and user-friendly.
• Act as the link between Product and Development teams, translating feature requirements into clear acceptance criteria and actionable V&V goals.
• Follow platform products through their full lifecycle, from early development to product deprecation.
• Identify and assess risks associated with specific features and functionalities as part of the product risk assessment process.
• Drive the overall test strategy by mapping product functionalities to the software development lifecycle and pushing testing toward the bottom of the test pyramid.
• Architect a validation strategy spanning Component Test Specification (CTS) coverage, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing and final physical machine testing.
• Strategize, monitor and validate against critical software failure modes, including network bus loads and CPU loads.
• Establish and enforce V&V processes, including test plan and result reviews, machine-test time planning, design margin testing and exploratory testing.
• Drive the use of Design Verification Plan & Report (DVP&R) and Risk-Based Thinking, and mentor validation engineers on key processes and validation expectations.
• Execute and oversee HIL validation using tools such as dSPACE, Vector tools, Simulink and Stateflow.
• Design, develop and maintain automated API verification frameworks using tools such as Playwright and Postman.
• Leverage AI agentic QA tools and automation to improve speed and efficiency in the software validation pipeline.
• Develop new ways to simulate complex machine setups in lab environments to supplement physical testing.
• Apply hands-on machine testing experience to evaluate product performance in real-world environments, and execute environmental and performance lab tests.
