Working in a hands-on lab environment, you will validate software on embedded hardware platforms and contribute to all verification activities related to QNX Power Management features. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys software development, automation, debugging, and continuous quality improvement.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and optimize automated test cases to continuously improve test coverage and efficiency.
• Debug, analyze test results, generate and document defects, and verify fixes.
• Produce detailed test reports based on the results with high accuracy.
• Execute comprehensive test suites on new software builds using reference and customer hardware, and analyze results.
• Maintain test lab environments.
• Create, update, and maintain test plans and test cases based on product requirements and feature specifications.
• Configure, integrate, and validate software deliverables on embedded hardware platforms.
• Collaborate closely with software developers and fellow test engineers.
• Reproduce and investigate reported issues using systematic debugging and root-cause analysis techniques.

Essential Skills and Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent.
• Strong programming background with expert-level proficiency in Python, C, and shell scripting.
• Extensive experience developing and maintaining automated test frameworks.
• Deep understanding of Linux internals and extensive hands-on experience with system configs, scripting, and debugging in enterprise environments.
• Knowledge of Power Management testing on different hardware.
• Solid understanding of formal test theory, test methodology, and experience in developing automated tests and testing tools.
• Demonstrated experience writing test plans and test cases, executing tests and reporting results.
• Proven technical leadership and mentoring experience.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of deliverables.
• Familiar with source versioning, problem reporting and constant integration systems (SVN, Git, JIRA, Jenkins end-to-end CI/CD pipelines).
• Working knowledge of QNX or other embedded operating system is an asset.
• Experience in debugging, root-cause analysis, and system validation for embedded hardware and software environments.

Why Join QNX?

• Work on technology deployed in more than 275 million vehicles worldwide.
• Help deliver software used in safety-critical and mission-critical environments.
• Solve challenging problems at the intersection of embedded systems, automation, hardware, and software.
