Embedded Quality Developer

About the role

dcbel is seeking an Embedded Quality Developer to join its Firmware/OS team. The role focuses on designing, implementing, and scaling Python‑based automated validation infrastructure and test suites for embedded and cloud‑connected products, improving defect detection and confidence in device and system behavior.

Key responsibilities

• Implement Python test suites, fixtures, and reusable libraries for device behavior, interfaces, and end‑to‑end workflows.
• Integrate automated validation into CI/CD pipelines with quality gates, artifact collection, and clear pass/fail criteria.
• Review requirements and acceptance criteria to contribute to early testability and risk reduction.
• Leverage field logs, telemetry, and failure data to expand regression coverage and validate device‑to‑cloud interactions.
• Reduce test flakiness, improve observability and diagnosability, and optimise execution time and infrastructure stability.
• Collaborate with firmware, OS, cloud, and systems engineers to reproduce failures, isolate root causes, and support release decisions.

Required profile

• Working knowledge of test planning, traceability, defect management, and reproducible failure analysis.
• Familiarity with embedded and industrial interfaces such as CAN, Modbus, RS‑232, Ethernet.
• Understanding of cloud‑connected embedded products, device‑to‑cloud interactions, OTA/update validation, and end‑to‑end reliability.
• Knowledge of system safety, regulatory constraints, and compliance‑oriented test evidence.
• Ability to use AI tools to accelerate test development, increase coverage, and analyse failures.
