Test Development Engineer

Lead the development, execution, and maintenance of verification and validation strategies for complex embedded products.
Architect, design, and enhance scalable test automation frameworks using LabVIEW and Python.
Own end-to-end test lifecycle activities including test planning, test design, execution, defect analysis, and release sign A.
Mentor and technically guide junior and mid-level test engineers on best practices in test development and debugging.
Drive root cause analysis of complex system-level issues and work closely with design, firmware, and systems teams to resolve them.
Define and enforce test standards, coding guidelines, and design patterns within the test organization.
Perform advanced exploratory and stress testing to identify corner cases and systemic gaps.
Review product requirements and specifications to proactively identify ambiguities, risks, and testability gaps. Develop comprehensive test plans, traceability matrices, and ensure complete requirement-to-test coverage. Actively participate in design reviews and contribute testability feedback early in the development cycle.
Own and improve CI/CD integration for automated tests and test infrastructure.
Lead defect triage discussions and influence prioritization based on risk and customer impact.
