Software Test Engineer
Job Purpose:
The software test engineer is primarily responsible for software testing during applications design, development, and validation to support product and business goals and objectives. Position will research, plan, design and develop testing plans and software for a machine-vision traffic control product line, in close coordination with ongoing software and hardware development. This position will support the product development process from requirements definition, preliminary and detailed design, coding, testing and integration to market release.
Essential Functions:
Primary responsibility will be to design and execute tests for our complex machine-vision traffic control firmware and command-and-control software, and the communications between them. These tests might be either scripts which a human being must follow, or programs in their own right, with the emphasis on moving as much possible toward automated testing. To this end, the software test engineer will also be responsible for assisting the rest of the engineering team to design new software with testability in mind, and redesign existing software with the same aim. As such, they will participate in requirements-development and design activities. The software test engineer will also interface closely with our Technical Services department, who handle release engineering. Initially, the software test engineer will be responsible for the actual testing, and not merely the design and implementation of the tests, as well. It's envisioned that over time, this position could transition to a supervisory role over additional test engineers.
