They are involved in the software test development lifecycle and testing for quality and deploying the software to meet customer requirements.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, or Software Engineering
5+ years of Automotive Software Test Automation Experience
3+ years of Body Control Software Verification experience
2+ Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
2 + Proven experience in software testing, particularly L2 (ECU-level) testing.
Demonstrated 3+ experience with test automation framework development and script implementation (e.g., Python, CAPL).
2+ years of Proficiency in test case design, TestRail, and management tools (e.g., TestRail, Jama).
1+ Years of experience working with Agile framework.

Nice To Haves

Strong understanding of software requirements analysis and traceability (experience with Jama preferred).
Experience with defect tracking systems and defect lifecycle management.
Strong analytical skills for root cause analysis of test failures.
Knowledge of automotive embedded systems and architectures is highly desirable.
Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.

Responsibilities

Analyze software requirements to inform test strategy and ensure comprehensive test coverage.
Design, author, and review detailed L2 test cases in TestRail, covering various testing types including Smoke Test, Sanity Test, Feature Regression Test, and Stability Test.
Configure and integrate a wide array of test tools, including test management systems, defect tracking systems, test automation frameworks, measurement tools, and debuggers.
Develop, automate, and maintain robust test suites and scripts (e.g., using Gtest, Python, frameworks) and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines to provide continuous feedback on component quality.
Oversee and perform automated test execution for nightly engineering, and release builds, ensuring comprehensive logging and monitoring of results.
Identify, report, and analyze test failures to pinpoint defects. Manage defect tracking and retesting activities to ensure timely resolution.
Generate detailed test execution reports, summarizing pass/fail rates, execution progress, and test coverage metrics.
Conduct thorough analysis of test coverage metrics (e.g., requirement coverage, code coverage, interface coverage) to identify gaps and drive continuous improvement in testing.
Investigate test failures to determine the root cause, distinguishing between defects in the System Under Test (SUT), test environment issues, or problems within the test case/script itself.
Proactively update test cases and automation scripts to reflect changes in requirements, design, or bug fixes. Drive continuous improvements in test coverage, particularly by expanding negative scenario use cases.
