Embedded Software Tester

As a Software Tester for the robot solutions division, you will be supporting our Embedded Software Engineers in testing the solutions they have devised. One example would be: does the new software functionality allow user-friendly robot operation? As a Software Tester, you will form part of a dedicated Product Development project team, focusing on a single product and applying the Scrum/Agile methodology. Within this team, the decision to approve the release of new software will rest with you; that is a big responsibility! A total of 20 software testers will collaborate with a workforce of 100 software engineers (divided into scrum teams) who are fully dedicated to the improvement of existing solutions and the devising and testing of new solutions. As part of your team, you will be collaborating intensively with Embedded Software Engineers. You will mainly be working in our workshop but will also visit test locations to test all equipment in practice conditions.

• Carrying out test cases.
• Having your test cases reviewed.
• Making use of various testing methodologies: risk-based testing, ISTQB and integration tests, as well as detailed tests.

What do you bring?

• You have a demonstrable affinity with software.
