  • 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 5+ years of experience in Python, C, and shell scripting

  • 5+ years of test automation development experience

  • 5+ years of hands-on Linux experience

  • 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

  • Strong organizational skills with a track record of managing multiple priorities while delivering high-quality results

  • 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

  • Ability to write clear, concise, and problem reports

  • Experience in debugging, root-cause analysis, and system validation for embedded hardware and software environments

  • Ability to work and participate in a team setting with an open, collaborative communication style

  • Excellent communication, presentation, and organizational skills

  • Enthusiasm, a passion for quality and a desire to learn new technologies

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
