Job Title: Software Development Engineer in Test (Python)

Job Description

This role focuses on Python-based test automation for over-the-air (OTA) software updates within a complex, dependency-rich component. You will join a roughly 15-person software testing team that performs level-two testing and works in close alignment with the development organization. Approximately 6070% of your work will involve Python development to build, enhance, and maintain automated test suites. You will validate pre-mainline code submissions, convert manual test cases into automated scripts, and help ensure high-quality software reaches production by influencing code quality early in the development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

Develop, enhance, and maintain Python-based automated tests for an OTA software updates component, with a focus on object-oriented programming.
Convert existing manual test cases into robust Python automation scripts and ensure they remain maintainable and scalable over time.
Execute automated and manual tests as needed, validate results, and ensure comprehensive coverage of functional and integration requirements.
Investigate automation failures, perform root-cause analysis, and triage issues to determine whether defects reside in the test code, test harnesses, or the underlying software.
Fix defects in test automation code and harnesses, and contribute improvements that increase stability, reliability, and execution speed of test suites.
Interpret complex, dependency-heavy requirements and decompose them into clear, implementable testing activities and test cases.
Collaborate closely with developers to validate pre-mainline code submissions, provide feedback on testability, and influence code quality before changes are merged.
Work within CI/CD pipelines to integrate automated tests, monitor pipeline results, and ensure that test stages provide reliable feedback to the development organization.
Use test traceability practices and tools to link tests to requirements and ensure coverage and compliance across the component.
Provide hands-on laboratory support by recovering and stabilizing test hardware when automated execution leaves it in an undesired state.
Communicate test results, defects, and risks clearly and effectively to developers, testers, and adjacent teams, and participate in discussions to resolve issues.
Contribute to continuous improvement of testing processes, tools, and frameworks, including the adoption and use of AI-assisted development practices.
Support onboarding and collaboration activities by working closely with team members across multiple locations and sharing knowledge of automation best practices.

Essential Skills

3+ years of total professional experience in software development and/or software testing in a junior-to-intermediate capacity.
23+ years of hands-on Python development experience with a strong emphasis on object-oriented programming.
Proven experience in software testing, including manual testing combined with strong test automation experience or dedicated test automation development.
Demonstrated ability to design, develop, and maintain automated test cases, including converting manual tests into Python-based automation and correcting automation defects.
Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, including integrating tests into pipelines and interpreting pipeline test results.
Experience with test traceability practices to align test cases with requirements and ensure adequate coverage.
Strong defect investigation skills, including the ability to triage automated test failures and contribute fixes to test code and test harnesses.
Ability to interpret complex, dependency-heavy requirements and break them down into clear, implementable testing activities.
Comfort working with Windows host machines in a testing environment.
Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with developers, testers, and adjacent teams.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience with automotive software systems, particularly in the context of OTA updates, is a significant asset.
Familiarity with CAN (Controller Area Network) and automotive communications.
Ability to read or comprehend C++ or automotive-focused C/C++ code to support testing activities.
Experience using Windows-based environments for test execution and tooling.
Exposure to AI-assisted software development tools, such as GitHub Copilot, and familiarity with VS Code.
Experience or interest in embedded systems.
Experience working in complex, dependency-heavy software environments where multiple components and systems interact.
Interest in modern testing practices, including continuous integration, continuous delivery, and automation-first approaches.

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

Pay And Benefits

The pay range for this position is $45.00 - $65.00/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.
