Job Description

Location: Veenendaal, The Netherlands
Hours: 32 to 40 hours per week
Salary: starting from €2,900 per month, depending on experience and growth potential
Level: Starter / Junior / Early-career

Test embedded software that actually moves trucks

At V.S.E., you test embedded software for advanced steering and suspension systems in trucks and other heavy vehicles. You work on the interaction between software, electronics, inputs, outputs, and system behaviour.

This role is a strong opportunity for a starter or junior engineer who wants more than standard application testing. You will join a specialised R&D environment where software and hardware come together in real vehicle systems.

Why this role is different

This is not a standard QA role focused on business software, web applications, or scripted testing. At V.S.E., you analyse how embedded software behaves within vehicle systems and how inputs affect outputs under real conditions.

What makes this role stand out:

• you test embedded software with real technical impact

• you work on truck and vehicle systems, not standard software products

• you combine software testing with hardware, ECUs, and system-level behaviour

• you work in a multidisciplinary R&D environment with software engineers and project teams

• you can grow into areas such as automation, simulation, or regression testing

What you will do

After onboarding, you will be responsible for integration and functional testing of embedded software within R&D projects.

Your main responsibilities are:

• analysing requirements and turning them into clear, traceable test cases

• executing integration and functional tests on software, hardware, ECUs, and test setups

• analysing, documenting, and reporting test results in a clear and reproducible way

• reporting and tracking defects, reproducing field issues, and supporting root cause analysis

• maintaining test cases and contributing to smarter ways of testing, including automation

What you bring

We are open to starters and junior candidates. Testing experience is helpful, but not essential. What matters most is how you think and how accurately you work.

Must-haves

• HBO or WO level in a relevant technical field

• strong analytical skills and a structured way of working

• affinity with embedded software and systems in which software and hardware interact

• the ability to document clearly and work with precision

• good command of English

Nice to have

• experience with embedded systems, ECUs, or microcontrollers

• experience with software development or the ability to read and write code

• familiarity with Python, test automation, C, CAN, or Matlab/Simulink

• some understanding of hardware behaviour

• Dutch and/or German language skills

About V.S.E.

You will join the Software Testing team within R&D and work closely with software engineers and project teams. V.S.E. develops advanced and safety-critical steering and suspension systems for trucks, trailers, buses, coaches, and off-road vehicles. Since 2021, V.S.E. has been part of the HÜBNER Group, while maintaining its own specialised engineering environment in the Netherlands.

What V.S.E. offers

• a strong entry point into automotive and embedded software testing

• room to learn and grow, also as a recent graduate

• the opportunity to build your own area of expertise over time

• a professional engineering environment with short lines of communication

• a full-time preference of 40 hours, with 32 hours also open for discussion

• a salary starting from €2,900 per month, depending on experience and growth potential

Interested?

Do you want to start or continue your career in a role that is more technical, more tangible, and more specialised than a standard software testing job? Then this could be your opportunity to step into embedded software and vehicle systems.
