## About the role

Forterra is looking for a Lead Software Test Engineer to establish and run verification and validation for the safety critical embedded software used on our autonomous ground vehicles.

- Set the verification and validation approach for safety critical embedded software from kickoff through qualification, including the test plan, test procedures, results, and reports
- Turn system, software, and safety related requirements into practical tests with objective pass or fail criteria
- Maintain traceability between requirements, tests, results, and anomalies
- Build and maintain automated test frameworks for embedded software, including software in the loop and hardware in the loop environments
- Exercise failure behavior through fault injection, timing and jitter tests, communications failures, memory faults, power and clock faults, negative tests, boundary tests, and stress tests
- Use static analysis, dynamic analysis, and coverage results to find gaps and help the team close them
