Conduct functional, integration, regression, and system-level testing to validate embedded C++ software for amplifier control and audio signal processing.
Ensure requirements traceability and comprehensive test coverage using ASPICE-compliant workflows and tools.
Collaborate with software, hardware, and system engineers to perform end-to-end validation and support root cause analysis of issues.
Develop and maintain test automation scripts and frameworks (Python, C++, or similar) to enhance efficiency and repeatability.
Analyze and report test results, defects, and KPIs to support continuous process improvement.
Manage defect reporting, verification, and regression tracking throughout the full software lifecycle.
Contribute to the ongoing improvement of testing methodologies, automation infrastructure, and ASPICE process maturity.

Requirements

7+ years of hands-on experience in embedded software testing, preferably in the audio, automotive, or consumer electronics domains.
Proven experience with ASPICE-based testing processes and familiarity with test levels SWE.4 (Unit Testing), SWE.5 (Integration Testing), and SWE.6 (Qualification Testing).
Experience with test automation tools and frameworks such as GTest.
Practical experience using JTAG debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and communication protocols including CAN, UART, and I2C.
Strong scripting and automation skills using Python or equivalent languages.
Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Bamboo, Jenkins), version control systems (GitHub), and issue tracking tools (e.g., JIRA, DNG).
Experience with Agile/Scrum development methodologies.

Nice to Have

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Computer Science, or a related engineering field.
Strong understanding of C++ in embedded environments and real-time operating principles.
Familiarity with audio amplifier systems, DSP algorithms, audio performance validation, and automotive communication protocols (A2B, I2S, CAN).
Exposure to Audio Precision, LabVIEW, or MATLAB for audio measurement and validation.
Working knowledge of ASPICE processes, including SWE.4 (Unit Test), SWE.5 (Integration Test), and SWE.6 (Qualification Test).
Understanding of AUTOSAR testing concepts.
Ability to mentor junior engineers and lead test planning for new platform releases.
