Senior Embedded Systems Validation & QA Lead

About the role

L4B Software, an embedded software and platform-engineering company based in Munich with an engineering presence in Pune, is hiring a remote, full-time Senior Embedded Systems Validation & QA Lead. The person will own and evolve the verification and validation strategy for Android/AOSP and Embedded Linux platforms, working closely with Android, Linux, BSP, DevOps, cybersecurity and other engineering teams. It is not a traditional manual QA or application-testing role.

Key responsibilities

• Define verification and validation strategies, test plans and coverage, including requirements-to-test traceability and release-readiness criteria and quality gates.
• Determine which validation runs automatically in CI/CD and which needs physical hardware, and guide test automation with Python and reusable frameworks.
• Support Android CTS, VTS, Embedded Linux, BSP, functional, integration, regression, security and hardware validation, and investigate cross-layer failures.
• Set up defect management and technical triage, monitor test coverage, write validation reports and release evidence, and continuously improve the validation methodology.
• Mentor engineers, coordinate validation across disciplines and embed validation in development so that quality ownership spans the whole team.

Required profile

• Strong experience validating embedded systems, operating systems, firmware-connected products or complex software platforms.
• Experience designing verification strategies and test plans, and integrating validation into CI/CD pipelines.
• Ability to assess platform readiness based on coverage, evidence, defects and risk, not just test-pass percentages.
• Experience coordinating validation across engineering disciplines and investigating failures across technical layers.

Required skills

• Strong Python and/or scripting capability.
• Integration, system and regression testing; defect investigation and root-cause analysis.
• Relevant depth in Embedded Linux, Android/AOSP, Android CTS and VTS, BSP validation, PyTest, Robot Framework, Jenkins, HIL testing, Jira/Xray, automotive SPICE, ISO 26262, IEC 62304 or cybersecurity validation is valued but not required.
