Software Product Assurance / Quality Assurance Engineer

Gliwice (hybrid)##### Job description:

• Take responsibility for software verification of our on-board data processing units: decide what has to be tested, at which level, and on which target.
• Review software requirements for testability and keep them traceable from the system requirements down to the test cases that verify them.
• Write and maintain automated tests in Python: functional tests against firmware and Linux images, tests running on emulated targets and on real hardware on the bench.
• Maintain the traceability matrix and the tooling that produces it from the requirements, the test reports and the CI results.
• Keep the test suites running in CI, triage failures, and tell a product defect from a flaky test or a broken bench.
• Report and track defects, follow them through to a fix and a regression test.
• Prepare software product assurance documentation: test plans, test procedures, test reports and verification evidence for customer reviews.
• Audit the process itself: coding standards, static analysis results, code review practice, configuration management and release procedures.

Take part in design reviews and support the team in * ing product assurance requirements that come from the customer.

What we expect:

• Experience in software testing or software quality assurance of software that runs on a device.
• Willingness to work close to hardware: bench setups and reproducing a defect on a board.
• Practical knowledge of Python: writing test code, driving hardware interfaces from it, and keeping a test suite maintainable.
• Knowledge of a test framework and the discipline around it: pytest or an equivalent, fixtures, parametrisation, reporting.
• Ability to write a test procedure and a test report that someone else can repeat and audit.
• Understanding of requirements engineering and traceability.
• Comfort with Git, code review and a CI system.
• English sufficient to read standards and customer requirements, write documentation and take part in technical discussions with customers.
• Availability to work from our Gliwice office every Tuesday.

Nice to have:

• Degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Automatic Control, Telecommunications or a related engineering field.

• Experience testing embedded software, firmware or Linux-based devices.
• Jira and Jenkins.
• Static analysis, coverage measurement and coding standard enforcement.
• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop test setups or laboratory instrumentation.

What we offer:

• Work with world-class companies and institutions on the cutting-edge space industry.

• Supportive environment and opportunities to learn new exciting things.
• Opportunity to attend the biggest global events related to the space industry.
