Job description

Location : Chennai

Experience : 10+ years

Function : Engineering Software Test & Validation

Team Size : 6 to 7 Test Engineers

Role Overview :

We are looking for a Test Lead with deep experience in testing both embedded systems and front-end applications.

This role is ideal for a technical leader who thrives in a dual role guiding a small team of engineers while remaining hands-on with test strategy, automation, and execution.

You will be responsible for the end-to-end validation of our products, from low-level $C / C++$ software to the user-facing GUIs.

This is not a purely managerial role; approximately 50% of your time will be spent on direct technical contribution, including test design, embedded test execution (HIL / SIL), front-end testing, and defect analysis.

Key Responsibilities :

Leadership & Team Responsibilities :

  • Lead a team of 5 to 6 embedded test engineers at CTCT.
  • Provide technical mentorship, career guidance, and performance feedback.
  • Align test team activities with cross-functional engineering and product stakeholders.
  • Drive a culture of quality, ownership, and continuous improvement.
  • Identify and adopt new technology trends to enhance software testing.

Hands-on Test Engineering Responsibilities :

  • Own and execute test plans for embedded software running on different platforms.
  • Define, review, and execute integration, system, and regression test suites.
  • Work with C / C++ based codebases and front-end codebases / workflows, analyzing system behavior, logs, and debugging failures.
  • Set up and maintain SIL (Software-in-the-Loop) and HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) testing environments.
  • Develop automation frameworks where feasible to support repeatable validation.
  • Collaborate with developers, systems engineers, and product managers to ensure end-to-end validation of requirements.

    • Requirements : Must-Have :

  • 8 to 10 years of experience in embedded software testing, with hands-on experience in C / C++-based systems.
  • Strong experience with testing on embedded targets, including SIL / HIL environments.
  • At least 2 to 3 years of experience in a people leadership / mentorship capacity.
  • Excellent understanding of embedded debugging, software / system validation, and test automation.
  • Ability to work with multidisciplinary teams (Product, hardware, software).
  • Clear communication, strong documentation, and team coordination skills.
  • Familiarity with testing for RTOS, microcontrollers, or safety-critical applications.
  • Knowledge of CAN, UART, SPI, and other embedded communication protocols.
  • Experience with test automation tools for front-end applications.
  • Prior experience in domains like construction automation, robotics, automotive, or industrial IoT.

    • Good To Have :

  • Machine validation experience.
  • Knowledge of Integrating systems on machines and performing software validation.
