Staff Software Embedded Test Engineer

Description

The company's OS Verification group is looking for a staff embedded test engineer to help raise the quality of next-generation in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) platforms.

You will lead OS verification work that checks software and features against the company's standards for function, system quality, security, performance and architecture.

You will guide test planning, execution, automation and quality reporting, working with component developers, external system stakeholders, and sustaining and integration teams. You will set verification strategies, write and run automated and manual test cases, and drive end-to-end test execution for complex software systems.

The role calls for systems thinking, deep test engineering skill, and the ability to align quality efforts across several teams. You will shape scalable validation strategies, widen automation coverage, and make testing more efficient so customers get reliable IVI experiences.
