Test Engineer – Embedded Systems / HIL (Defence & Security)

Tech Stack: HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) Testing Embedded Testing Test Automation Python C / C++ NATO Standards (STANAG) pytest Robot Framework Jira Xray / Zephyr Git CI/CD Project Description: We are looking for Test Engineers at Mid and Senior level to join the testing team on a project developing embedded systems for the defence domain. Testing on the project is based primarily on Hardware-in-the-Loop environments, where the software is verified on real hardware against simulated operating conditions. You will design and execute automated and manual tests on HIL benches, verify that the system meets its requirements and contribute to the reliability of solutions built to demanding industry and NATO standards. You will work closely with the Test Manager, developers and system engineers. Form of cooperation: employment contract, full time. Place of work: Wrocław
Requirements:
Configure and maintain HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) test environments Execute HIL tests and analyse test results Design test cases using techniques such as boundary value analysis, equivalence partitioning and decision tables Analyse requirements for testability and translate them into test cases Develop and maintain automated tests in Python Read and understand C/C++ code to analyse system behaviour Work with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analysers and debuggers Create clear defect reports and test reports Collaborate with engineering teams and stakeholders in English Support projects requiring compliance with NATO (STANAG) standards Work on-site from the Wrocław office Participate in the security clearance process when required Additionally for Senior level: Design and develop HIL test setups Build and enhance automated test frameworks Plan and execute advanced HIL testing scenarios, including fault injection and robustness testing Independently plan testing activities and estimate testing effort Mentor junior testers and support team development Review test cases and automated test code Contribute to testing strategy and process improvements Nice to Have: Experience with SIL (Software-in-the-Loop) environments Knowledge of communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN) Experience with serial and TCP interfaces Experience with pytest, Robot Framework or similar test automation frameworks Experience integrating HIL tests into CI/CD pipelines Experience working in V-model projects Experience in regulated environments Experience in the defence or security sector Knowledge of NATO standards, including STANAG ISTQB Foundation Level certification
