Job Title: Automation Engineer in Ottawa

Job Description

This Automation Engineer role focuses on building Python-based test automation and infrastructure for a next-generation embedded platform supporting future vehicle technologies. You will own automation development during early-stage hardware and board bring-up, working at the low-level operating system and board support package (BSP) layer rather than the application layer. The position offers significant influence over automation strategy, tooling, and scalable test infrastructure in an evolving environment where requirements are still being defined. You will collaborate across multiple engineering organizations to enable broader team productivity through robust automation solutions and low-level validation.

Responsibilities

Design and develop Python-based automation frameworks to support embedded platform validation and board bring-up activities.
Build, maintain, and extend reusable automation libraries and APIs that enable efficient test development and execution.
Develop automated test scripts targeting embedded Linux and QNX-based environments, focusing on low-level operating system and BSP layers.
Support board bring-up efforts, including low-level validation, firmware-layer testing, and hardware/software integration activities.
Analyze failure logs from embedded systems, identify root causes, and troubleshoot complex low-level issues across software and hardware boundaries.
Perform BSP and firmware troubleshooting to validate board support packages and ensure reliable platform behavior.
Coordinate testing and automation activities with multiple engineering teams, including local development groups, offshore resources, and cross-functional stakeholders.
Identify gaps in requirements, ask clarifying questions, and help define automation approaches in a program where specifications are still evolving.
Serve as a hands-on technical contributor while providing technical leadership, helping unblock teams and drive technical progress in board bring-up and test automation.
Contribute to the design and establishment of scalable test infrastructure and automation practices that support future platform development and broader team success.
Interact directly with hardware, including embedded boards and bring-up environments, to validate functionality and support integration testing.
Apply log analysis techniques, debugging skills, and troubleshooting best practices to continuously improve test coverage and automation effectiveness.

Essential Skills

Minimum 6+ years of embedded software test automation or closely related automation experience.
Strong Python automation development skills, including the ability to design and build automation frameworks from scratch.
Hands-on experience with embedded Linux or QNX environments, ideally including work with hypervisors.
Board bring-up experience, with at least one full board bring-up preferred, covering early hardware validation and low-level software integration.
Proficiency in BSP and firmware-layer troubleshooting, focusing on low-level hardware/software integration issues.
Demonstrated strength in failure log analysis and debugging, with the ability to resolve complex embedded system issues.
Hands-on hardware experience, including direct interaction with embedded boards and bring-up environments.
At least 1+ years of technical leadership experience, such as leading or coordinating technical activities across teams.
Experience with test automation frameworks and firmware testing in embedded environments.
Strong skills in log analysis and troubleshooting within embedded and automation contexts.
Understanding of automotive protocols, including CAN messages, and their role in embedded vehicle systems.
Low-level Linux expertise, particularly in device driver development and debugging.
Exposure to virtual device drivers and low-level development in virtualized or hypervisor-based environments.
Ability to work independently in an exploratory role, identify gaps in requirements, and proactively drive automation solutions.
Strong collaboration and communication skills for working with local and offshore engineering teams and cross-functional stakeholders.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience with Qualcomm boards or similar embedded platforms, providing familiarity with complex hardware environments.
Practical awareness and use of AI tools and agents to enhance automation, analysis, or development workflows.
Prior experience in automotive or vehicle technology domains, especially in embedded platform validation and automation.
Experience in embedded firmware testing and hardware/software integration for complex systems.
Experience contributing to the establishment of new automation strategies, tooling, and test infrastructure rather than only maintaining existing frameworks.
Ability to act as both a hands-on engineer and a technical leader, influencing automation practices and enabling team success.
Comfort working in fast-moving, highly collaborative environments where requirements and platform capabilities are still being defined.
Experience coordinating with offshore teams and managing cross-time-zone collaboration in engineering projects.

Job Type & Location

This is a Contract position based out of Ottawa, ON.

Pay And Benefits

The pay range for this position is $50.00 - $70.00/hr.

Individual compensation offered for this position within this range will depend on many factors, including qualifications, skills, relevant experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other pertinent job-related factors.
