Define Test Strategy: Transform "rough" test plans from Integration Engineers into formal, airtight test requirements. You will be the primary gatekeeper for test quality and coverage.
Direct Automation & Infrastructure: Act as the internal "customer" for our Automation and Rig-Build teams. You will design the specifications for new test scripts and physical rig modifications, ensuring they are built to support "low-touch" validation.
Expert Traceability: Own the end-to-end lifecycle in Jira and Jama. You’ll ensure that every firmware requirement is mapped to a test case and that every failure is triaged with enough technical detail for firmware devs to act immediately.
Test Orchestration & Framework Development: Develop and maintain core test logic and architectural patterns. While you will have dedicated automation support, you will personally script complex, "first-of-a-kind" tests and design the framework extensions necessary to scale our testing capabilities.
System Verification: Expertly verify the critical intersection of software and hardware. You will execute system-level verification of new features, build and maintain robust regression test suites, and monitor the ongoing stability of our panel software ecosystem.

Requirements

Master of Tools: You are an expert-level user of Jira and Jama (or equivalent). You understand how to structure projects to ensure 100% test coverage and traceability.
Test Script Power User: You are comfortable writing custom hooks, fixtures, and plugins in Python to enable sophisticated hardware testing.
Effective Communicator: Since you will be collaborating with other teams (Automation/Rig-Build), you can write clear, unambiguous technical requirements that lead to successful execution.
Hardware-Fluent: You understand the constraints of a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) environment and know how to debug issues that could be firmware, electrical, or script-related.
Senior-level experience in Firmware, Embedded Systems, or Systems Test Engineering.
Expertise in test scripting for hardware/system-level automation using tools like l.
Advanced proficiency in Jama/Jira for requirements management and defect tracking.
Experience defining requirements for HITL/SIL environments and custom test rigs.
Strong understanding of communication protocols (CANbus, UART, Ethernet, etc.).
