Here’s where you’ll demonstrate your proficiencies:

• Validation and verification of embedded systems incorporating processors, microcontrollers, Linux-based platforms, communications interfaces, and distributed software architectures.
• Design, development, and execution of test plans covering firmware, embedded software, system functionality, and product-level requirements.
• Development of automated test tools, test frameworks, simulation environments, and virtual test systems for system-level verification.
• Execution of integration testing across firmware, embedded software, networking, cloud services, and application software layers.
• Verification of system performance, reliability, cybersecurity, interoperability, and functional compliance requirements.
• Investigation and root-cause analysis of complex system issues through log analysis, protocol analysis, software debugging, and network diagnostics.
• Collaboration with firmware, software, hardware, systems engineering, and product teams to ensure robust product validation and long-term reliability.
• Support for regulatory and compliance activities, including functional, environmental, cybersecurity, and industry-standard verification requirements.
• Use of Agile Scrum methodologies to support validation activities, continuous improvement, and product quality initiatives.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the following skills and experience:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or equivalent.
• Minimum three years of industry experience, including at least two years in embedded systems validation, firmware test /development, systems engineering, software integration, or test automation.
• Understanding of embedded systems, software architecture, firmware design principles, networking technologies, and systems engineering concepts.
• Experience developing automated test solutions using scripting or programming languages such as Python, C#, Java, or similar.
• Experience working with Linux-based embedded systems and modern software development environments.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and drive high-performance validation and quality strategies.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, interpersonal, and technical communication skills.

Preferred Skills

• Experience validating embedded firmware, Linux applications, edge computing platforms, or distributed system architectures.
• Experience with networking technologies including Ethernet, TCP/IP, managed switches, GPS, PTP, NTP, and time synchronisation systems.
• Experience troubleshooting communications and system behaviour using packet capture and analysis tools such as Wireshark.
• Experience with industrial communication protocols including IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus, MQTT, OPC-UA, or related technologies.
• Experience developing automated test harnesses, regression test systems, simulation environments, and system-level verification frameworks.
• Familiarity with protocol testing and diagnostic tools used in industrial automation and power system environments.
• Experience with Linux-based embedded platforms, containerised applications, and version control tools such as Git.
• Knowledge of embedded software development practices, software lifecycle management, CI/CD pipelines, and automated quality assurance techniques.
• Exposure to Digital Fault Recording (DFR), Power Quality (PQ), PMU, condition monitoring, or other grid monitoring applications.
• Understanding of cybersecurity concepts, secure communications, vulnerability assessment, authentication mechanisms, and requirements.
• Exposure to cloud-connected systems, remote monitoring platforms, telemetry frameworks, or edge-to-cloud architectures would be advantageous.
