Why Lytx
We are looking for a highly motivated test engineer to come join our excellent team of quality professionals! We are seeking a detail-oriented Test Engineer with a strong background to validate our ARM-based embedded platform (like Raspberry Pi). You will be responsible for ensuring the quality and reliability of our system which integrates internal/external cameras battery management GPIOs sensors cellular communication Wi-Fi and MQTT protocols. This role requires hands-on manual testing log analysis and scripting to automate repetitive checks.
Key Responsibilities:
- BS Electronics Engineering/Computer Science with at least 6 years experience
- Drive the end-to-end manual and automated validation of firmware on complex ARM-based platforms ensuring seamless system integration.
- Design comprehensive test strategies for high-speed interfaces and protocols including cameras sensors GPIOs cellular/Wi-Fi stacks and MQTT messaging.
- Perform deep-system validation and log forensics debugging using Linux CLI tools to identify memory leaks race conditions or kernel-level instabilities.
- Architect and scale robust test automation frameworks using Python and Bash to accelerate data validation and regression cycles.
- Partner with hardware and software engineering leads to influence design-for-testability (DFT) and ensure rapid bug resolution.
- Oversee and optimize CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/Git) to automate firmware deployment test execution and real-time reporting.
What Youll Need
- BS/MS in Electronics Engineering Computer Science or related field with 6 years of hands-on experience.
- Expert-level experience in testing Linux-based embedded systems and real-time operating systems (RTOS).
- Proficiency in Linux command line (SSH mounting log parsing).
- Proficiency with hardware instrumentation including oscilloscopes logic analyzers and programmable power supplies to validate battery-powered IoT devices.
- Advanced knowledge of vehicle bus protocols (OBD-II J1939 CAN bus) and network traffic analysis using Wireshark.
- Deep familiarity with ARM-based architecture and low-level peripheral communication (I2C SPI UART USB).
- Proven track record of building automated test environments from scratch using Selenium PyTest or custom-built Python frameworks.
Other Skills:
- Strategic Testing Expertise: Ability to architect high-level test plans and quality metrics that align with long-term product roadmaps and compliance standards.
- Architectural Analytical Thinking: Proactively identifies systemic risks and logical flaws at the hardware-software interface during the design phase.
- Expert Root Cause Analysis: Leads complex troubleshooting efforts correlating hardware signals with software logs to resolve intermittent or hard-to-reproduce firmware bugs.
- Methodology Leadership: Champions Agile and DevOps best practices mentoring junior engineers on continuous integration and efficient sprint planning.
- Quality Advocacy: Acts as the primary advocate for end-user reliability ensuring the product maintains high performance and stability in diverse field conditions.
- Global Collaboration & Mentorship: Exceptional communicator capable of leading technical discussions across diverse teams and coordinating global support in US time zones.
