Position Description
We have multiple openings for individuals with a minimum of 6 years of professional experience in verification testing of real-time, embedded software. This experience might be gained in a test role within a software development organization or gained within a Software Quality Assurance organization, depending upon how the organization is structured.
In either case, the successful candidate will have experience performing requirements-based software verification of embedded software. The Senior Software Test Engineer plans and performs a variety of tasks across the areas of software requirements analysis, documentation, hardware-software integration, troubleshooting, problem solving, and software verification testing.
The Senior Software Engineer:
• Has knowledge of the full software development lifecycle. • Has experience working on programs involving the development, maintenance, upgrade and porting of embedded product software and/or product support software to enhance, implement and support project/system functionality for the assigned technical effort. • Mentors less experienced software test engineers to help develop their software test capabilities and troubleshooting and problem-solving skills. • Collaborates across the other engineering disciplines such as Mechanical, Electrical, Controls, and Systems. • Ensures that technical approach is consistent with established engineering principles and practices. • Ensures that product outcomes meet customer needs and that customer and company technical, system, performance, process, and quality requirements are met.
Skills Required
• Develop, debug, and execute automated and manual requirements-based software verification testing.
• Use version control and issue tracking tools.
• Integrating and testing software with various real-time operating systems such as Linux/Unix derivatives.
• Good programming skills (C++, Python, BASH).
Skills Preferred
• Traceability across software requirements, design, and verification artifacts.
Experience Required
• Experience developing, analyzing, and/or reviewing requirements for safety critical real-time embedded software.
• Experience with Computer Networks (switches, VLAN, protocols).
• Experience building and maintaining software and hardware integration testbeds (cabling, power supply)
• Testing and troubleshooting Communication protocol software (CAN, Serial, Ethernet).
Experience Preferred
• Experience developing tests using NI Software (TestStand, VeriStand, and/or LabView).
• Experience working with software architecture and design information captured in models (using tools such as Magic Draw, Enterprise Architect, or similar model-based engineering tool).
• Familiarity with combat vehicle functionality and capability.
• Experience using Atlassian (Bitbucket, Jira, Bamboo) tools.
Education Required • Bachelor's degree in STEM field
Education Preferred • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Computer Science
