The Impact You'll Make
Are you driven by the quality and robustness of complex embedded systems? Do you enjoy building test strategies that not only “catch bugs,” but make the product truly reliable and scalable?
Danfoss Climate Solutions is looking for a Lead Test Engineer to strengthen the team and lead the testing approach for advanced electronic platforms and software.
The person we are looking for will join a multidisciplinary team that develops electronic control and connectivity solutions for industrial applications, with a strong focus on quality, automation, and systems integration. This role is ideal for an engineer with experience in embedded/IoT systems testing, test automation, validation, and managing cross-functional activities.
The team works daily at our Innovation Campus in Mestre (VE), where hands-on work and direct collaboration are an integral part of how we build high-level technology.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Defining and managing comprehensive test strategies (component, integration, system, performance, acceptance) for embedded devices and connected software systems.
- Designing, developing and maintaining test automation frameworks to ensure coverage, repeatability, and traceability of tests.
- Coordinating validation activities across multiple layers (FW, SW, networking and cloud) and ensuring compliance with technical requirements.
- Developing and maintaining automated test suites in Python and/or other languages and tools (e.g., Robot, Cypress, Bruno, Postman).
- Collaborating with development and architecture teams for troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and firmware/software optimization.
- Managing integration and validation of complex systems involving industrial and IoT communication protocols (TCP/IP, Modbus, BACNet, MQTT, etc.).
- Defining and implementing quality metrics, reporting, and test processes (DevOps, test case management, defect tracking).
- Providing technical leadership and mentoring: guiding colleagues and new resources, sharing best practices, and defining test standards and guidelines.
What We're Looking For
- Educational background in Engineering (Electronics, Automation, Telecommunications) or equivalent.
- Proven experience in testing and validation of embedded and IoT systems, preferably in industrial or automotive environments.
- Strong experience in test automation using Python and scripting (Bash), including CI integration and test framework development.
- Knowledge of industrial and IoT communication protocols (TCP/IP, Modbus, MQTT, BACNet is a plus).
- Experience in cloud and API validation, with the ability to perform functional, integration, and load/stress testing.
- Experience with UI/mobile test tools (Cypress, Selenium/Winium) and end-to-end testing of multi-component platforms.
- Experience in defining test specifications, managing test cases, and reporting, with a quality-driven and repeatable approach.
- Excellent command of Italian and English (written and spoken).
