EDC3_ORC2_Test Architect

As a Software Test Architect, your primary responsibilities will include: Test Strategy & Architecture Definition: Define and lead the development of the overall test strategy, architecture, and frameworks for our off-highway controller software running on QNX/TDA4Vx. This includes HIL, SIL, unit, integration, and system-level testing. Framework Design & Evolution: Design, implement, and continuously evolve scalable, maintainable, and robust test automation frameworks (e.g., Python-based, Robot Framework, custom solutions) to support complex applications. Toolchain Selection & Integration: Evaluate, select, and integrate appropriate testing tools, platforms, and technologies (e.g., test management systems, defect tracking, CI/CD tools, HIL benches, simulation environments). Performance & Reliability Engineering: Define strategies for performance testing, stress testing, and long-term reliability testing of the QNX-based system and its interfaces. Functional Safety & Security Testing: Architect testing approaches for functional safety (e.g., ISO 13849, potential ASIL) and cybersecurity aspects. Requirements to Test Traceability: Establish and enforce robust traceability from high-level requirements down to individual test cases and defect reports. Team Leadership & Mentorship: Provide technical leadership, guidance, and mentorship to a team of test engineers, fostering best practices and continuous improvement. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with software architects, development leads, system engineers, and product managers to understand system architecture, design specifications, and define comprehensive test coverage. DevOps & CI/CD Integration: Drive the integration of testing activities into our DevOps pipeline, focusing on continuous testing, automated deployments, and efficient feedback loops using Docker, Dev Containers, and other tools. Technical Roadmapping: Contribute to the technical roadmap for testing infrastructure, anticipating future needs and challenges. Problem Solving & RCA: Lead complex debugging efforts and root cause analysis for critical system issues identified during testing. Documentation & Standards: Establish and maintain testing standards, processes, and comprehensive documentation for all testing artifacts.
