(ADI) is a global semiconductor leader bridging the physical and digital worlds to enable breakthroughs at the Intelligent Edge, helping customers create solutions that advance digitized factories, mobility, and digital healthcare.Why Join ADI (DCE)You’ll help deliver system software quality for products and platforms that serve critical infrastructure and energy-related applications—working in a collaborative engineering environment focused on real-world impact. ADI’s mission is to help innovators stay Ahead of What’s Possible™.Role SummaryWe are seeking a Senior System Software QA Engineer to strengthen system-level verification for software delivered within ADI’s Datacenter & Energy (DCE) business. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on test strategy, automated regression, CI integration, and data-driven release readiness across multi-language test environments. As a Senior Engineer you will be involved verification efforts for software developed for renewable energy and grid-edge products, including firmware, APIs, tools and services. You will develop comprehensive verification strategies, drive test automation, and work closely with cross-functional and geo-distributed teams to ensure the quality and reliability of software releases for cutting-edge embedded systems that drive next-generation intelligent power management for grid-edge products.This is a hands-on role where you will partner with stakeholders to understand product requirements, incorporate testability into software designs, and communicate test status, risks, and results clearly to drive timely, high-quality releases.Key Responsibilities

System-level verification: Develop and execute verification strategies for system software, including functional, negative, robustness, and recovery testing.
Automation & regression: Build and maintain automated regression suites (smoke → nightly → release gating), improving coverage and reducing flakiness.
CI/CD integration & quality gates: Integrate tests into CI pipelines and implement objective quality gates using consistent run artifacts and results.
Failure analysis & triage: Perform first-line triage of failures, isolate root causes (product vs environment vs test), and produce actionable defect reports with evidence.
Metadata & traceability: Apply consistent test metadata (IDs, platforms, stages, features, relationships) to support filtering, reporting, and analytics.
Observability & reporting: Ensure test results, logs, and metrics are visible through centralized tooling for faster decision-making and release readiness.
Work with board design / system teams to define test platforms for the product.
Mentor the test team, providing guidance and support to junior testers.
Ensure the quality and reliability of software releases through rigorous verification processes.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electronic/Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
5+ years of industry experience in embedded systems or software testing.
5+ years experience in test architecture and design definition.
5+ years hands on experience in developing test code for software systems using Python and PyTest.
Strong test engineering fundamentals: test design, defect lifecycle, regression strategy, and quality gating concepts.
Experience using CI and source control tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Git) in day-to-day engineering workflows.
Working knowledge of signal processing concepts such as Filters, Fast Fourier Transforms, Harmonic Distortion, etc.

Desirable Skills & Tools (Advantageous)Test Frameworks & Execution

Python: pytest / unittest and automation scripting for test execution and analysis.
C++: GoogleTest (including listener-based structured result reporting).
C: Unity with Ceedling for build/test orchestration and filtering.

Results, Logging, and Observability

Grafana dashboards/reporting for quality trends and execution visibility.
Graylog (or equivalent centralized logging) for log search, correlation, and triage.
RabbitMQ / AMQP for event-based transport of test results/logs/metrics.

DevOps / Infrastructure (Nice to Have)

Familiarity with electronic power control systems.
Docker / Docker Compose for reproducible test environments and scalable execution.
Experience implementing reliable CI test stages, artifact retention, and automated gating policies.
Proficient with project management related tools such as MS Project, Jama, Jira and Confluence.
Experience in software development with C/C++.
Experience with Agile workflows such as Scrum or Kanban.
