What are some common challenges faced by professionals in embedded testing, and how can they be addressed?

Embedded Testing professionals often encounter challenges such as limited hardware resources, integration with diverse hardware platforms, and ensuring real-time performance. To address these, testers typically use specialized tools for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and employ automation frameworks to manage repetitive test cases efficiently. Close collaboration with firmware and hardware engineers is also crucial to quickly diagnose issues and align testing strategies with development cycles, ensuring robust and reliable embedded systems.

What does an embedded testing do?

An embedded tester evaluates the hardware and software of embedded systems, such as microcontrollers and firmware, to ensure they function correctly within their intended environment. They develop and execute test plans, use testing tools like oscilloscopes and debuggers, and verify system performance and reliability before deployment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an embedded testing engineer?

To thrive as an Embedded Testing Engineer, you need a solid background in embedded systems, programming languages like C/C++, and experience with test methodologies, often supported by an engineering degree. Familiarity with tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG debuggers, and test automation frameworks, as well as certifications like ISTQB, are commonly required. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and effective communication help you collaborate with development teams and identify complex issues. These skills ensure the reliability, safety, and performance of embedded products in critical applications.

What is the difference between Embedded Testing vs Embedded Software Developer?

AspectEmbedded Testing
Primary FocusVerifying and validating embedded systems and hardware integration
Skills RequiredTesting methodologies, debugging, knowledge of embedded hardware and software
Work EnvironmentTesting labs, hardware-in-the-loop setups, embedded device environments
CertificationsEmbedded testing certifications, ISTQB, hardware testing credentials

Embedded Testing primarily focuses on verifying the functionality and reliability of embedded systems through testing and validation processes. In contrast, Embedded Software Developers design, develop, and implement embedded software. While both roles require knowledge of embedded systems, testers concentrate on quality assurance, whereas developers focus on creating the software itself.

What is embedded testing?

Embedded testing is the process of verifying and validating the software and hardware components of embedded systems. These systems are specialized computing units designed to perform dedicated functions within larger electronic devices, such as cars, medical equipment, or home appliances. Embedded testing ensures that both the software and hardware work together reliably, safely, and efficiently under various operating conditions. The testing process often includes unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and sometimes hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing. This helps identify defects early and ensures the embedded system meets its required specifications.

Job description

This role will be on-site 5 days a week in NW Austin.

Scope 

As a member of the Security team at Ambiq, the Embedded Software Engineer - Security will participate in extending and supporting Ambiq's Secure Bootrom/Bootloader and SDK for the Apollo SoC  and emulation platforms. This role will work within our global MCU software development team. It will work closely with the architecture team and the local MCU SoC design team, focusing on MCU software development and test activities. A successful candidate should be a fast-learning, result-driven, and self-motivated team player with an "always learning" mindset. They should possess an inquiring spirit and be comfortable working in a lab environment, with the ability to execute hands-on debugging for embedded systems. The candidate will be involved in extending each of these to cover new MCU members of the family as they become available.

Responsibilities 

  • Participate in the design, implementation, testing & support of the Secure Bootrom and Secure Bootloader solutions.
  • Participate in automated testing and pre-silicon verification (via FPGA emulations), and post-silicon bring up, verification, and debug, focusing on Secure Bootrom and Secure Bootloader, are related HAL and Security Tools in the SDK.
  • Testing of runtime cryptographic operations utilizing embedded hardware accelerators.
  • Work closely with the SQA and System Test team to help define and implement test cases for security deliverables to ensure complete coverage. 
  • Work with other team members to implement the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) and board support package (BSP) of the SDK.

Qualifications 

  • BS/MS (EE, CE, or CS) with embedded projects utilizing both bare metal and RTOS systems/real-time environments. 
  • 2-5 years of work experience working with Embedded Security, cryptography, and secure boot concepts.
  • Working knowledge of cryptographic algorithms and protocols, including Public Key Infrastructure, symmetric encryption algorithms, hashing, etc.
  • Understanding of security implications for the embedded systems, and familiarity with IoT security concepts  (TrustZone, CryptoCell, and Secure boot)
  • Work experience developing embedded C and ARM assembly language in a project setting with a focus on system initialization and low-level code.
  • Strong proficiency in Python
  • Experience with at least one IDE from ARM, Keil, IAR, Eclipse, or other
  • Excellent problem-solving skills dealing with issues related to HW/SW debug
  • Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, Saleae, etc., for debugging issues.
  • Experience and understanding of software testing and test automation principles.
