Software Product Assurance / Quality Assurance Engineer

KP Labs is looking for a Software Product Assurance / Quality Assurance Engineer to own software verification of its on-board data processing units.

Responsibilities

• Take responsibility for software verification of our on-board data processing units: decide what has to be tested, at which level, and on which target
• Review software requirements for testability and keep them traceable from the system requirements down to the test cases that verify them
• Write and maintain automated tests in Python: functional tests against firmware and Linux images, tests running on emulated targets and on real hardware on the bench
• Maintain the traceability matrix and the tooling that produces it from the requirements, the test reports and the CI results
• Keep the test suites running in CI, triage failures, and tell a product defect from a flaky test or a broken bench
• Report and track defects, follow them through to a fix and a regression test
• Prepare software product assurance documentation: test plans, test procedures, test reports and verification evidence for customer reviews
• Audit the process itself: coding standards, static analysis results, code review practice, configuration management and release procedures
• Take part in design reviews and support the team in applying product assurance requirements that come from the customer

Requirements

• Experience in software testing or software quality assurance of software that runs on a device
• Willingness to work close to hardware: bench setups and reproducing a defect on a board
• Practical knowledge of Python: writing test code, driving hardware interfaces from it, and keeping a test suite maintainable
• Knowledge of a test framework and the discipline around it: pytest or an equivalent, fixtures, parametrisation, reporting
• Ability to write a test procedure and a test report that someone else can repeat and audit
• Understanding of requirements engineering and traceability
• Comfort with Git, code review and a CI system
• English sufficient to read standards and customer requirements, write documentation and take part in technical discussions with customers
• Availability to work from our Gliwice office every Tuesday

Nice to have

• Degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Automatic Control, Telecommunications or a related engineering field
• Familiarity with ECSS software product assurance standards (ECSS-Q-ST-80), or with product assurance in another regulated industry
• Experience testing embedded software, firmware or Linux-based devices
• Jira and Jenkins
• Static analysis, coverage measurement and coding standard enforcement
• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop test setups or laboratory instrumentation

What KP Labs offers

• Gain valuable experience and grow professionally with the support of leading specialists in their fields
• Work in a friendly and supportive environment that encourages collaboration, knowledge sharing, and continuous learning
