Regular Test Automation (Python, automotive)

We are seeking a highly motivated and technically proficient QA Automation Engineer to join our dedicated testing team. You will play a crucial role in ensuring the successful and high-quality delivery of software products for our client, a prominent American multinational automaker. This position offers a challenging and dynamic environment within a multicultural international team, demanding strong problem-solving skills and a proactive approach. Responsibilities include designing, developing, and executing robust automated test scenarios daily using Python, contributing to and maintaining automation frameworks, ensuring comprehensive test coverage, engaging in specialized testing of automotive systems, and collaborating within the Scrum framework.

Must Have

• Prior work with embedded or automotive systems, especially in the context of multi-ECU scenarios.
• Proven experience developing, debugging, and maintaining Python code for automated testing.
• Advanced debugging and troubleshooting abilities across both code and test execution environments, including stepping through Python scripts, analyzing logs, and resolving issues in automated pipelines for automotive test bench integration.
• Proficient in using Visual Studio Code (VSCode) with relevant extensions (Python, Cucumber, Copilot).
• Experience managing Python virtual environments and dependencies.
• Proficient with Git for version control and JFrog Artifactory for artifact management in a collaborative, automated test environment.
• Ability to read and follow technical documentation in English.
• Strong communication skills for collaboration with developers, testers.
• Exposure to automotive communication protocols (e.g., CAN, LIN, Ethernet).

Good to Have

• Experience with test automation for automotive multimedia, connectivity, and driver-assistance features.
• Hands-on expertise with modern test automation frameworks, especially those supporting Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) and keyword-driven testing.
• Skilled in translating requirements and Gherkin scenarios into robust, executable automation logic.
• Ability to analyze, optimize, and troubleshoot both hand-written and AI-generated Python test scripts for reliability and maintainability.
• Experience integrating automated tests with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) benches via industry-standard APIs (such as ASAM HIL).
• Hands on experience with testing of ADAS features such as Camera, Parking Assist, and Driving Assistance modules.
• Experience with requirements gap analysis, traceability, and coverage reporting for ADAS or other safety-critical automotive systems.
