Lead QA Automation Embedded Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: QA automation lead for embedded wireless SoC / SDK validation

Description

Lead QA automation for an embedded wireless System-on-Chip (SoC) by designing and maintaining an end-to-end automated test architecture. Build Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) automation and CI/CD pipelines to validate silicon, low-level HAL, RTOS integrations, wireless connectivity, and hardware-enforced security under production-like workloads. You will lead QA across the portfolio and troubleshoot complex hardware–firmware integration failures while contributing to a flagship wireless platform before it reaches the IoT market.

Responsibilities

• Lead QA team across the portfolio
• Define test strategy for SDK core, wireless connectivity, security, and developer tooling
• Work with HIL setups, RTOSes (Zephyr, FreeRTOS), and multi-core communication protocols
• Collaborate with firmware developers and architects to turn specifications into test plans
• Establish CI/CD pipelines
• Integrate physical test rigs into automated workflows
• Triage, isolate, and debug integration failures across the hardware–firmware interface
• Monitor test coverage and QA metrics; enforce quality gates for SDK releases
• Create documentation for processes and artifacts

Requirements

• 5+ years of Software Quality Assurance and Test Automation; at least 3+ years in embedded systems/microcontrollers/SoC testing
• 1+ year of leading QA team/-s
• Strong Python skills for test automation frameworks/scripts and hardware integration utilities (PyTest preferred)
• Solid understanding of modern C/C++ build processes
• Experience with HIL test setups, CI/CD pipelines, and test execution on physical target boards
• Hands-on experience with hardware interfaces, flash programmers, and debugging tools
• Hands-on experience testing wireless protocols
• Experience automating testing for build systems, SDK components, and toolchains (CMake, West, GCC, Clang)
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills for cross-boundary (hardware/firmware/automation) issues
• B2 English for collaboration and technical documentation

Benefits

• Flexible work schedule
• Private healthcare insurance (LuxMed)
• Multisport card
• Workation
• Financial bonuses for significant life events (wedding, birth of a child)
• Company compensation for professional training (courses/seminars/trainings)
• Copyrights/author’s rights for those who write the code
