Software Verification Engineer

Job Duties:

Apply state-of-the-art industry-standard software development methodologies and techniques to design, program, and test automotive, mobile, and embedded software based on the architecture and requirements specification under a technical manager or lead engineer's supervision.

Review software architecture and requirements specifications and understand the features and functionality of the software.

Review and analyze high-level software design and test plans based on software requirements.

Understand product/software system requirements/architecture/high-level design and develop a low-level design for software verification and testing.

Follow Test Driven Development methodology to develop software and automated unit tests for white box and coverage testing.

Implement software design into code, including writing the code per architecture and design to produce high-quality code using state-of-the-art algorithms, tools, and programming techniques.

Integrate, optimize, and debug third-party software modules and tailor and port software to designated hardware and mobile devices.

Develop automation scripts using test frameworks – develop configuration, program, debug and execute the automated test scripts, in XML, Python, or other languages, across multiple target platforms.

Develop test plans, test cases, and test scripts to verify the developed software.

Perform various software verification phases, including – Unit, Functional, Integration, Regression, Stability, and Performance Testing.

Adhere to development processes and quality, generate and monitor the required metrics (Code Coverage, Performance, etc.)

Provide detailed status and comprehensive communication reports to the project and management teams.

Report software problems and bugs into the Issue tracking system (like Jira, RTC, etc.) and provide failure details and logs to help with issue resolution.

Set up software and hardware tools, devices, and modules, and maintain test devices, benches, and vehicles in the development and test environment.
