Description

A Software Test Engineer is required by a global-leading semiconductor organisation on a long term contract basis in the Netherlands. Their systems are used by the major semiconductor manufacturers to create integrated circuits, that power an array of electronic, communications and IT products. The successful candidate will have a chance to work with state of the art technology and work alongside world-class engineers.

Job Responsibilities
The Software Test Engineer will ensure good, efficient testing & qualification of new software, either released as new release version, or in service packs.
Test Impact Determination:
The Software Test Engineer will be in discussions with architects and developers, To determine the impact of a release or service pack, so as to be able to select existing test cases or create new test cases. The Software Test Engineer will look at these deliverables from a customer’s point-of-view, and test from that system perspective.
Software Qualification:
The Software Test Engineer will define and execute software qualification tests on the new prototype systems and on test benches. Every week a new development software baseline is released and must be tested on the test benches and the proto type systems. As much as possible should be tested on the test benches to relieve the claim on the very expensive prototype systems. Therefore part of the challenge is also to make these test benches as representative as possible.
Creating System Tests:
The Software Test Engineer will create a system level test to qualify the system and the software and to test the reliability of the system and the different modules of the system. These system level tests are typically implemented in the form of Python scripts or as keyword driven test scripts.
Analysis:
The Software Test Engineer will undertake the first analysis of any problem to find the development project that is responsible for fixing the problem. After the problem has been dispatched you will assist the development project in defining and testing the solution and making sure that they deliver an adequate solution in time.
Reporting:
Clear reporting on issues found, both in an issue database and in overviews and in a test analysis report.
Continuous Improvement:
New issues coming from the field or factory must be analysed to ascertain why they were not caught in our own tests and preventive actions must be defined to make sure future test cases will capture these issues.
