• Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks for embedded software interacting with desktop applications.
• Work in conjunction with the global Verification & Validation team to drive and align HBK global processes and standards.
• Setting up of automated system tests for new feature testing and ensuring those system tests remain up and running.
• Supporting system tests of our measuring amplifier systems and application software.
• Implement desktop and web-based UI automation (e.g., signal and graph validation) using tools like Pywinauto, WinAppDriver, OpenCV-based validation, Playwright, etc.
• Managing, troubleshooting the test setups and device simulations in close communication with local and remote test teams (hardware and simulations) and in close communication with development
• Defining and running manual test scenarios, automation after demand
• Documentation of test setup and test scenarios
• To contribute in conjunction with other members of the team to ensure all software errors are identified and reported.
• Monitor system test results and perform first level diagnostics.
• Assist with resolution and reproduction of user software problems.
• Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of the software by working in conjunction with software testers and developers based in the Europe.

• Domain knowledge in measurement technology or comparable (+3y)
• Practical experience in setting up and maintaining test systems (+3y)
• Strong programming skills in Python and C# – with experience in building test automation frameworks.
• Experience with automated UI testing of desktop applications (Windows-based) and tools like Pywinauto, AutoIt, WinAppDriver and web based applications automation
• Proven experience in test planning, execution, and quality management across multiple projects.
• Strong hands-on skills in functional and automated testing tools and frameworks.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, and test management tools.
• Familiarity with cloud‑native platforms and containerization tools (e.g., Docker)
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; ability to collaborate across technical and business teams.
• Hands-on experience with Jira, Confluence, and version control systems (e.g., Git).
• Familiarity with signal or waveform validation, data acquisition, or test & measurement systems is a strong plus.
• Agile or ISTQB Software Test certification would be an advantage.
• Solid understanding of embedded systems and communication protocols

We offer freedom with responsibility is the framework for HBK’s employees. This allows for a good balance between work and family life and for constant development of professional and personal skills in an international and enjoyable working environment.
