Test Developer to Westermo

Welcome to a rapidly growing international company, thriving at the forefront of cutting edge technology. Westermo develops and manufactures advanced devices for industrial data communication, used in mission critical installations and harsh industrial environments. The very robust and secure communication networks built with our products provide a high value for our customers.

We are passionate about taking advantage of the growth opportunities in our market. The work environment is very dynamic with great loyalty and team spirit. It is expected to take initiative and our flat organization creates efficiency and provides the opportunity for those who are closest to the task of solving it.

At Westermo we develop software for our own hardware, a Linux based operating system named WeOS, where we integrate a variety of Open Source packages along with a large amount of software we develop from scratch.

Delivering reliable products with top quality is key for us at Westermo. At the same time, we need new products and features to reach our customers with short lead time. Therefor we invest a lot in test automation and tools to make automation as easy as possible. We think about automation in everything we do, and we are constantly trying out new techniques that can help us fulfill current and future demands.

Are you our new Software Test Developer?

You will work in an Agile, cross-functional team who works with software development of our Linux based operating system, WeOS. This includes everything from requirement analysis through design and coding to integration, quality assurance and trouble shooting. Your focus in the team will be on evaluation of test scope, development and maintenance of automatic tests, coordination of quality assurance tasks between teams and lots of exploring and trouble shooting. As you and your team work closely together and are jointly responsible for your deliverables, help and support is never far away!

If you like to explore new features, troubleshoot, find and resolve tricky issues, this is the role for you!

As we develop network technology based on embedded Linux we see that knowledge, and a genuine interest, in Network Technologies and experience from working in a Linux environment is key in this role.

As a team, we value openness and sharing of knowledge, recognizing that all members are juniors on some topics and seniors on other. We give no refuge to holy cows or the status quo, new ideas about how we should build our platform are always welcomed and encouraged. We pride ourselves on being able to change our minds the second we hear a better solution to a given problem.

- Programming skills, preferably in Python/Go and/or C
