Chances are, we've helped build it.\nOur software and development tools help build products used in cars, hospitals, factories, homes, and industries around the world. We help engineers solve complex challenges and create technology people can depend on. \nRooted in Nordic values and trusted by innovators worldwide, we combine deep technical expertise with a culture of curiosity, craftsmanship, and collaboration. With decades of engineering experience and a shared passion for technical excellence, we're helping shape the future of software and embedded development. \nWe take pride in building tools for people who build the world around us. \nIAR is part of Qt Group, operating as an independent business focused on embedded software development. We provide software development tools that help engineers develop, debug, test, and secure embedded software for products across automotive, industrial automation, medical technology, and other industries. \nAbout the Role\nAs a Software Test Engineer, your primary focus will be on test execution and test automation. You will design, implement, and evolve testing strategies that ensure product quality from early development to release. You will work closely with development teams to improve testability, identify risks early, and build confidence in every release through effective automation and integration testing.\nYou will act as a quality advocate across teams, supporting engineers with best practices, tools, and frameworks while helping shift testing efforts toward scalable, automated solutions.\nPossible location for this position is Uppsala, Sweden. \nWhat You'll Do\nPerform and contribute to release testing, verifying end-to-end functionality and validating that releases meet agreed-upon quality criteria.\nDesign, develop, and execute high-quality test plans and test cases for both manual and automated testing, with strong emphasis on testing across components and services.\nBuild, maintain, and continuously improve test automation frameworks and contribute to automated testing within CI/CD pipelines.\nSupporting development teams in adopting effective testing strategies, including unit and integration testing.\nIdentifying risks, defects, and quality gaps early, and communicating them clearly to stakeholders.\nCollaborating in planning, design, and requirement discussions to ensure quality is built into solutions from the start.\nImproving test frameworks, documentation, and processes to enhance long-term efficiency and reliability.\nSupporting troubleshooting, debugging, and incident analysis across development and release cycles.\nWhat You Bring to the Table\nYou are a collaborative and quality-driven engineer who works closely with developers and stakeholders to improve outcomes, not just processes. You proactively communicate, share knowledge, and help teams adopt practical and effective testing approaches.\nYou take a holistic view of quality, focusing on integration, system behavior, and real-world usage rather than isolated test cases. You are pragmatic, continuously improving systems step by step instead of waiting for perfect solutions.\nExperience in software testing with a strong focus on integration testing and automation.\nHands-on experience with Python and/or Ruby for test automation.\nFamiliarity with test frameworks such as Pytest, Squish, or similar tools.\nExperience working with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins) and development tools like GitLab, Jira, or Artifactory.\nStrong problem-solving skills and the ability to identify risks and dependencies early.\nAbility to collaborate effectively with engineering teams and influence quality practices.\nConversational Swedish and fluency in English, both spoken and written.\nBonus Points For....\nExperience testing C++ software and understanding of C++ code.\nFamiliarity with embedded systems, compilers, or tool chains.\nExperience with build systems such as CMake.\nBuild What Matters. Grow Where It Matters. \nWe believe work should support your life, not the other way around. That's why our benefits are designed to be flexible, inclusive, and meaningful across every stage of your journey. From wellbeing and growth to celebrating life's big (and small) moments, we invest in what matters to you, wherever you are. \nFlexibility You Can Count On We offer hybrid working options and flexible hours, empowering you to balance your personal life and professional goals because life outside of work matters, too. \n\nMeaningful Wellbeing Support From mental health resources to physical wellness programs, we provide practical, accessible support tailored to local needs. \n\nOpportunities to Grow Whether through hands-on learning, mentorship, or international collaboration, we invest in your development so your career can grow in the direction you choose. \n\nInclusive by Design You'll join a team that values different perspectives, encourages collaboration, and creates space for everyone to contribute and succeed. \n\nRewarding Your Impact Our compensation and benefits packages are competitive, regularly reviewed, and locally relevant, ensuring your contribution is recognized wherever you are. \n\nBring Your Whole Self \nThe best ideas come from people with different experiences, perspectives, and ways of thinking.
