As an Embedded Firmware Test Engineer, you will be responsible for test development and verification of embedded software, especially positioning and navigation algorithms for different use-cases such as standard precision, low-power wearables, and industrial tracking applications. You will have an opportunity to acquire good knowledge of GNSS technology and embedded firmware by interfacing directly with the firmware development and product teams. You will capture the test needs, and bring them to definition, implementation, and execution. Understanding the new requirements and how to verify the embedded system is an essential part of the role. This requires collaboration with our test hardware and infrastructure team for the overall goal of delivering high quality positioning firmware products for our customers.
You will be part of the Firmware Products team under the Standard Precision and Low-Power Business Unit, which is responsible for the definition, planning, implementation, and testing of u-blox low-power positioning products. You will exercise your analytical skills in finding firmware defects, and work with colleagues to resolve them. You will deal with multiple requests for testing support, which will require optimizing daily work according to the priorities that are set with colleagues. You will be part of a multicultural, friendly, and highly collaborative team split between Finland and Switzerland.
It is essential that you have at least few years of embedded systems development or testing experience. Previous work with GNSS (satellite-enabled positioning and navigation) algorithms or other electronics and communications technology is a plus. Experience with Scrum or any other Agile work management methodology is a plus. The preferred location for this role is our u-blox office in Tampere, Finland.
