Key Responsibilities Quality Assurance Leadership: Lead the software QA team in planning, designing, and executing test strategies for embedded systems across all phases of the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC). Identify, analyze, and resolve software defects to enhance product quality using agile methodologies. Provide technical guidance and training to team members on test plan preparation, test case generation, and debugging techniques. Testing & Validation: Perform functional, integration, and system-level testing for embedded software, focusing on automotive ECUs, Battery Management Systems (BMS), or ignition control systems. Validate software performance using tools like CANalyzer, CANoe, PCAN Explorer, and Pico Scope, ensuring compliance with protocols such as CAN, J1939, SPI, and UART. Conduct hardware-software integration testing and debug issues using tools like DSO, function generators, and DMM. Documentation & Reporting: Document the engineering process, including System Requirement Specifications (SRS), DFMEA, test cases, test reports, and requirement traceability matrices. Use bug tracking tools (e.g., JIRA) to log defects, track resolutions, and provide detailed quality reports to stakeholders. Finalize new products by providing actionable feedback to the design and development teams. Process Improvement: Develop and maintain test setups, test plans, and standard operating procedures to ensure consistent quality standards. Leverage 7 QC tools and analytical skills to improve testing processes and reduce defects. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment between design, development, and quality goals. Project Support: Support the testing of embedded systems for automotive applications (e.g., BMS, ignition systems, or starter generators) and industrial products. Assist in environmental, mechanical, electrical disturbance, and EMI/EMC testing per ISO/IEC and CISPR standards. Contribute to new product development by reviewing specifications, evaluating components, and ensuring manufacturability. Qualifications Education: Bachelors degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field from a recognized university. Experience: Minimum of 6-8 years of experience in embedded software testing, with at least 3-5 years in a lead or supervisory role. Proven expertise in automotive embedded systems (e.g., ECU, BMS, ignition systems) and communication protocols (CAN, J1939, SPI, UART, I2C, RS485). Technical Skills: Proficiency in testing tools such as CANalyzer, CANoe, PCAN Explorer, Bus Master, JIRA, and Pico Scope. Experience with IDEs like CodeWarrior (10.5/10.6), CS++, and MPLAB IDE, and basic knowledge of Embedded C. Familiarity with test equipment like DSO, function generators, DMM, and sensors (NTC, Hall effect, CT/PT). Knowledge of Matlab Simulink for simulation and testing (preferred). Soft Skills: Strong leadership and team management abilities to lead small teams independently. Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills. Effective communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams and provide technical training. Certifications/Training (Preferred): Certification in Embedded Systems, Automation, or Software Testing (e.g., ISTQB). Training in CAN protocol, BMS testing, or EMI/EMC standards. Key Competencies Expertise in black-box, unit, and integration testing for embedded systems. Ability to manage agile workflows and deliver high-quality software under tight deadlines. Proactive approach to detecting and resolving defects while ensuring compliance with industry standards.
