· Perform HW/SW system integration testing to verify functionality, interoperability, stability, and expected system behavior.

· Develop and maintain structured system-level test plans, test cases, and reusable test suites.

· Reproduce, analyze, document, and communicate defects discovered during system testing.

· Work closely with software and hardware development teams to support root-cause investigation and verification of corrections.

· Maintain test configurations and ensure that test setups are repeatable and representative of intended product configurations.

· Document test results and provide clear evidence of system behavior and compliance.

· Identify opportunities for test automation and develop test cases with automation in mind.

· Automate suitable system tests directly or collaborate with software developers and test automation engineers to implement automated testing.

· Contribute to continuous improvement of system integration, qualification, and certification processes.

· Support formal certification activities by providing tested configurations, test evidence, technical information, and engineering support.

Required Qualifications

· Experience in system testing, system integration testing, or HW/SW integration testing.

· Strong hands-on experience working with systems containing both hardware and software components.

· Experience designing, setting up, configuring, and troubleshooting physical test systems.

· Experience preparing products or systems for third-party certification.

· Experience working directly with certification organizations or certification laboratories.

· Programming or scripting experience, for example Python or similar technologies used for test automation.

· Experience testing communication networks, field buses, controllers, I/O, sensors, actuators, or other connected building-system components.

· Experience with issue-tracking, requirements-management, test-management, and CI/CD tools.

· Experience with Agile software and product-development processes.

· Experience in the network technology environment BMS systems operate in.

What Success Looks Like

· A robust and representative physical system test environment is established and maintained.

· HW/SW integration issues are identified early in the product-development lifecycle.

· Product releases are systematically pre-tested against applicable UL 864 requirements before formal certification activities.

· Certification-related test cases are documented, repeatable, and traceable.

· Test suites evolve from individual manual tests into structured and reusable system test suites.

· Suitable tests are progressively automated, reducing repetitive manual testing and improving regression-test coverage.

· Test results and identified issues are clearly documented and effectively communicated to engineering teams.

· Software, hardware, systems, and certification teams have a common understanding of product readiness and remaining technical risks.
