QA/Test Automation Engineer

Fortaegis is a fast-scaling, highly ambitious and cutting-edge semiconductor company. We are looking for a QA Test Engineer to validate the integrated system through manual and automated tests and ensure product quality before delivery. After hardware is prepared and software is deployed, this professional validates the full integrated system.

We are looking for candidates with not only an exceptional skillset, but also an exceptional mindset, willing to go above and beyond to make our breakthrough product even better. Key contribution: Designs, executes, and automates tests on the systems prepared by the integrator. Detects regressions and ensures the final product meets quality expectations before release.

Provides feedback to all development teams (hardware, firmware, application).

Responsibilities

Design test plans for application, firmware, and FPGA interactions. Automate tests using Python, pytest, Robot Framework, or similar. Run nightly/continuous test suites on actual hardware setups. Maintain dashboards and reports for regression testing. Validate releases, find bugs early, and ensure stable deliveries. Build automated test frameworks that interact with hardware through APIs, UART, SSH, or network interfaces.

Provide feedback to firmware, hardware, and application teams. Experience with embedded testing. Strong Python (including pytest or similar frameworks). Ability to test at multiple layers (API, functional, system-level). Understanding of network protocols, serial interfaces, and embedded diagnostics. Ability to automate hardware interactions (relay boards, remote power switches, reset lines).

Nice to have

Python Institute Certifications (PCET / PCAT). Robot Framework Certification (RFCP). The successful candidate will have the unique opportunity to participate in shaping the design of our groundbreaking product, contributing to the development of ultra-secure and high-performance SoC designs. They will be part of a dynamic and innovative team, working in a collaborative and challenging environment at the forefront of semiconductor technology.
