What you will be doing:

Software Test Automation Engineer We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Software Test Automation Engineer to join our team, focusing on comprehensive ECU-level (L2) testing for BCM feature application within the FNV3.x architecture. This role is critical for ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of our embedded software components through robust test design, automation, execution, and continuous improvement. The Body Control Software team is a team dedicated to creating Body Control Application Software components, developing and enhancing existing software components that integrate with existing architectures, as well as our next-generation vehicle systems. Onsite position, 4 days per week in the office.

Software Requirements Analysis: Analyze software requirements to inform test strategy and ensure comprehensive test coverage.

Test Case Design & Review: Design, author, and review detailed L2 test cases in TestRail, covering various testing types including Smoke Test, Sanity Test, Feature Regression Test, and Stability Test.

Test Environment Configuration: Configure and integrate a wide array of test tools, including test management systems, defect tracking systems, test automation frameworks, measurement tools, and debuggers.

Test Script Implementation: Develop, automate, and maintain robust test suites and scripts (e.g., using Gtest, Python, frameworks) and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines to provide continuous feedback on component quality.

Automated Test Execution: Oversee and perform automated test execution for nightly engineering, and release builds, ensuring comprehensive logging and monitoring of results.

Defect Management: Identify, report, and analyze test failures to pinpoint defects. Manage defect tracking and retesting activities to ensure timely resolution.

Reporting & Analysis: Generate detailed test execution reports, summarizing pass/fail rates, execution progress, and test coverage metrics.

Coverage Analysis: Conduct thorough analysis of test coverage metrics (e.g., requirement coverage, code coverage, interface coverage) to identify gaps and drive continuous improvement in testing.

Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Investigate test failures to determine the root cause, distinguishing between defects in the System Under Test (SUT), test environment issues, or problems within the test case/script itself.

Maintenance & Continuous Improvement: Proactively update test cases and automation scripts to reflect changes in requirements, design, or bug fixes. Drive continuous improvements in test coverage, particularly by expanding negative scenario use cases.
