[Hiring] Senior Embedded Systems Validation & QA Lead @L4B Software

Role Description

This isn't a role where you simply execute someone else's test plan. You'll help define what ready to release means for an embedded platform.

We are looking for a Senior Embedded Systems Validation & QA Lead to own and evolve the verification and validation strategy for L4B's Android/AOSP and Embedded Linux operating-system platforms. This is not a traditional manual QA role.

• You won't simply receive a finished product and execute predefined test cases.
• You will help define:
  • What needs to be validated.
  • How it should be validated.
  • What should be automated.
  • What requires physical hardware.
  • What evidence must exist.
  • When a platform is genuinely ready for release.
• You will work closely with Android/AOSP, Embedded Linux, BSP, DevOps, cybersecurity, and other engineering teams to build validation into the platform-development lifecycle.
• This role combines technical validation, test architecture, automation strategy, engineering judgement, quality ownership, and technical leadership.

Qualifications

• Strong professional experience validating embedded systems, operating systems, firmware-connected products, or complex software platforms.
• Experience designing verification strategies and comprehensive test plans.
• Strong understanding of integration, system, and regression testing.
• Experience building, implementing, or guiding automated testing.
• Strong Python and/or scripting capability.
• Experience integrating validation into CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong defect investigation and root-cause-analysis skills.
• Experience establishing and maintaining test evidence and requirements traceability.
• Ability to understand and investigate failures spanning multiple technical layers.
• Experience coordinating validation across different engineering disciplines.
• Strong technical judgement and communication skills.
• Ability to assess platform readiness based on coverage, evidence, defects, and risk rather than simply test-pass percentages.

Requirements

• Experience with Android, Linux, BSP, DevOps, cybersecurity, and hardware engineers.
• Ability to investigate whether the actual cause of defects sits somewhere else in the system.
• Comfort with assessing release readiness based on coverage, evidence, defects, risk, and engineering judgement.

Benefits

• Work close to operating systems, hardware, cybersecurity, DevOps, and embedded product engineering.
• Opportunity to influence how validation is designed, not simply how tests are executed.
• Work on technically demanding platforms involving real hardware, operating systems, BSPs, security, automation, CI/CD, and long-term product reliability.
• Meaningful ownership in strengthening how L4B answers the question: Are we confident enough in this platform to release it?
