Product Test Engineer - Embedded Systems
This role is focused on testing embedded firmware and connected product behaviour on real hardware. You will help improve product quality by developing test documentation, building automated test capability, validating firmware on prototypes and production‐intent hardware, and working closely with firmware, electronics, mechanical, UX and product teams. The role requires sufficient electronics literacy to work confidently with embedded hardware, lab tools, test fixtures and circuit schematics when investigating product behaviour or test failures. It is a hands‐on role in a changing technical environment that requires curiosity, persistence and the ability to build practical understanding quickly.
Responsibilities
Develop and maintain test documentation and validation reports for embedded firmware and product features.
Run manual, automated and exploratory tests across embedded firmware, connected features and product control systems.
Support hardware‐in‐the‐loop testing and fixture‐based validation using Python, pytest or similar tools.
Reproduce, isolate and document defects clearly, including issues involving firmware, hardware, test scripts, fixtures or environmental conditions.
Work with firmware engineers to clarify expected behaviour, edge cases and testability requirements.
Contribute to CI pipelines for automated test execution and reporting.
Test device communication over interfaces such as serial, Ethernet, Wi‐Fi, BLE, MQTT or similar protocols.
Use lab equipment to support investigation, validation and debugging of embedded product behaviour.
Qualifications
Strong background in firmware testing,



embedded software testing or product validation for physical devices.
Strong Python coding skills, including experience with pytest or similar test frameworks.
Experience testing embedded devices, connected products, hardware prototypes or production‐intent hardware.
Experience debugging issues across firmware, test scripts, communication interfaces, fixtures and hardware behaviour.
Familiarity with CI/CD systems such as Jenkins.
Experience with source control and issue‐tracking tools such as Git and Jira.
Strong attention to detail, with clear written and verbal communication.
Ability to read circuit schematics to identify connectors, signals, test points and expected electrical behaviour.
Comfortable using basic lab tools such as a multimeter, oscilloscope, logic analyser, bench power supply and debugger/programmer.
Familiarity with embedded interfaces such as UART, I2C, SPI, GPIO, JTAG or SWD.
Familiarity with IoT protocols and platforms such as MQTT, AWS IoT Core or similar.
Understanding of Unix‐based systems, FreeRTOS or bare‐metal firmware environments.
Experience building or maintaining automated test fixtures.
Exposure to regulatory, reliability, manufacturing or production test environments.
Electronics design or PCB layout experience is helpful but not required.
Benefits
Competitive compensation package.
A fun and rewarding team environment.
Opportunity to work for an Australian Stock Exchange listed company.
Employee assistance program.
Paid parental leave policy.
