Automotive Test Engineer

Project Description

The project focuses on validation and automation of Wi-Fi connectivity, networking, security, and tunneling features across Android and embedded environments. The role involves testing network reliability, authentication mechanisms, routing behavior, and connectivity scenarios while supporting automated validation frameworks and continuous integration processes.

Additional Project Requirements

• The project involves working with hardware prototypes located in the Szczecin office; therefore, occasional on-site presence will be required.
• Occasional travel to the client's site in Berlin may be required as part of project activities.

Required Qualifications

• Strong knowledge of TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, NAT, routing, VLANs, and firewalling.
• Solid understanding of WLAN technologies, including 802.11, WPA2/WPA3, EAP (PEAP/TLS/TTLS), and PSK/Open authentication.
• Hands-on experience with network fault injection using tools such as tc, netem, and scapy.
• Experience with packet-level troubleshooting and analysis using Wireshark and tcpdump.
• Strong understanding of the Android Wi-Fi stack, including ConnectionManager, NetworkStack, and wpa_supplicant.
• Experience using ADB for network testing, device connectivity validation, scanning, and log collection.
• Ability to analyze Android logcat data and correlate Wi-Fi, EAP, and TLS behavior with access point logs.
• Practical experience with Python-based test automation and Robot Framework.
• Linux system administration and shell scripting skills.
• Experience with Git workflows, CI/CD integration, Jira, and Confluence.

Nice to Have

• Experience with embedded automotive systems or infotainment connectivity platforms.
• Understanding of TLS certificate provisioning and mutual authentication.
• Familiarity with OpenWrt firmware customization.
• CCNA, LPIC, WCNA, or similar industry certifications.
• Experience with network simulation tools or traffic analysis frameworks.
• Experienced in using AI tools in day-to-day workflow

Scope of Services

• Develop and maintain automated test suites covering Wi-Fi, DHCP, VLAN, routing, tunneling, and security scenarios.
• Design and execute fault injection tests, including network interruptions, packet loss, DHCP conflicts, and TLS failures.
• Configure and maintain OpenWrt-based routers and embedded test environments.
• Perform Android Wi-Fi testing, including connection flows, WPA3/EAP validation, and log analysis.
• Capture, analyze, and validate network traffic using Wireshark and tcpdump.
• Develop and extend automation solutions using Python and Robot Framework.
• Integrate automated testing outcomes into GitLab and Jenkins CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate closely with Android developers, embedded engineers, and verification teams.
• Document test cases, execution results, and findings in Confluence and Jira.
