System Test Engineer for Wireless Battery Management Systems

System Test Engineer – Wireless Battery Management Systems (BMS)

Key Responsibilities

The successful candidate will join a System Test team responsible for validating advanced wireless Battery Management System (BMS) solutions used in automotive environments. These systems are developed by large multidisciplinary engineering teams following ASPICE-aligned development practices, making comprehensive verification a critical part of the product lifecycle.

This role focuses on planning, developing and executing system-level verification activities to ensure product quality, functionality and robustness. It requires a strong understanding of complex embedded systems, a structured approach to verification, and close collaboration with hardware, software, systems engineering, architecture, applications and quality teams.

Primary responsibilities include:

• Define and execute comprehensive system verification strategies based on product requirements and system specifications.
• Design, develop and maintain automated and manual system test cases.
• Verify functional behaviour, performance and system robustness throughout the development lifecycle.
• Investigate, reproduce and analyse hardware and software issues identified during testing.
• Work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to support issue resolution and continuous product improvement.
• Contribute to test automation, regression testing and continuous integration processes.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related discipline (Master's degree is advantageous).

Required Experience & Skills

• Solid understanding of Systems Engineering principles and/or structured verification methodologies for complex embedded systems, ideally within the automotive industry.
• Experience in system development or system verification within an ASPICE-aligned development environment.
• Programming or scripting experience using C/C++ (embedded) and Python or similar languages.
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills covering both hardware and software.
• Experience working with automated test frameworks and validation tools.
• Familiarity with CI/CD environments such as Jenkins, GitLab CI or similar.
• Experience using version control systems and supporting regression testing activities (Git, GitHub or equivalent).
• Practical experience with automated hardware validation and measurement equipment.
• Strong collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills together with strong organisational abilities.
• Self-motivated, proactive, hands-on and able to learn new technologies quickly.

Desirable Experience

• Knowledge of OTA (Over-the-Air) software update validation, secure boot processes and firmware signing.
• Experience with automated software and system verification.
• Exposure to wireless communication technologies or RF systems.
• Experience with requirements management platforms such as Jama or IBM DOORS.
• Background in verification of safety-related or functionally safe systems.
• Experience operating within ASPICE-compliant engineering processes.
• ISTQB Foundation Level certification or equivalent testing qualification.

Additional Information

• Suitable for experienced professionals.
