• Test Reporting: Preparing detailed test reports summarising test activities, results, and defect analysis.
• Design and implement robust test programs across all development projects, from specification to deployment.
• Defect Tracking: Identifying and reporting defects or bugs found during testing using bug tracking tools.
• Collaborate across teams to ensure testing is aligned with project specifications and requirements.

What we’ll need from you:
• Proven experience of testing combined hardware and software-based platforms in an Embedded Testing role.
• Expertise of automated combined hardware and software testing practices.
• Strong experience working in both Windows and Linux environments, confident in using the command line.
• Ability to build hardware test platforms to facilitate automated testing.
