These products operate in critical environments such as data centers, industrial facilities, and building automation systems, where correctness, stability, and diagnosability are essential.\nIn this role, you will work closely with software, hardware, and product teams to define and execute verification strategies across embedded Linux platforms, environmental and power monitoring firmware, and supporting applications. You will play a key role in reducing field issues, improving test automation, and raising the overall quality bar across the product lifecycle.\nEssential Functions\nPromote and evolve the software verification and validation (V&V) strategy for embedded products, including power meters, environmental monitors and controls, and edge gateways.\n\nDesign, implement, and maintain manual and automated test coverage for embedded Linux software, firmware, and device-level features.\n\nDevelop and execute system-level, integration, regression, and stress tests, including scenarios that mirror real-world customer deployments (e.g., fully-loaded devices, long-duration uptime, and fault conditions).\n\nCollaborate with software and hardware engineers to review requirements, designs, and risks, ensuring testability and quality are built in early.\n\nInvestigate field and manufacturing issues by reproducing failures, analyzing logs and network traffic, and performing root-cause analysis.\n\nContribute to test automation frameworks and CI pipelines to improve repeatability, coverage, and release confidence.\n\nValidate industrial and building-automation communications protocols, as well as TCP/IP networks, and device-to-cloud interactions (MQTT).\n\nDefine quality metrics and provide clear, data-driven assessments of release readiness.\n\nEducation & Experience Required\nDemonstrated experience in software quality, test engineering, or verification roles, with a strong focus on embedded or systems-level testing; typically 6 years.\n\nHands-on experience testing embedded Linux systems and/or firmware-driven devices.\n\nStrong understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP) and experience validating device communications over wired and wireless networks.\n\nExperience testing industrial or building-automation protocols (e.g., Modbus, BACnet, or similar).\n\nProficiency with test automation and scripting, such as Python, shell scripting, or similar languages.\n\nExperience working with hardware-integrated software systems, including interaction with sensors, meters, or I/O.\n\nExperience testing industrial / device UI’s, particularly with Squish\n\nFamiliarity with CI/CD pipelines, version control systems (Git), and tracking tools like Jira and Zephyr.\n\nAbility to analyze logs, packet captures, and system behavior to isolate complex, cross-disciplinary issues.\n\nStrong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with software, hardware, product, and manufacturing teams.\n\nDesired Skills\nExperience testing power meters and environmental controls.\n\nExposure to long-running reliability testing, soak testing, and performance characterization.\n\nExperience validating systems that must meet accuracy, stability, or compliance expectations.\n\nFamiliarity with embedded build systems, release workflows, or cross-compiled environments.\n\nBackground working with products deployed at scale in customer or industrial environments.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3586,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Sensors & Transducers","Test & Measurement Instruments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T22:03:16Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:6","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ralliant-software-engineer-4","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ralliant-software-engineer-4.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T18:22:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24575,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2241821},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2241821"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fralliant-software-engineer-4"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fralliant-software-engineer-4"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fralliant-software-engineer-4"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ralliant-software-engineer-4\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fralliant-software-engineer-4"}]}
