Verification engineer

OBJECTIVES

Client is seeking a Verification Engineer – Software to lead the design, development, and implementation of an automated test solution for validating Redfish APIs against functional requirements and for verifying conformance with the DMTF Redfish standard.

This is a hands-on engineering role requiring deep experience in software test architecture, automation frameworks, and embedded systems. The engineer will serve as the primary technical authority for Redfish API verification and automated software testing within the Americas verification organization, working closely with global stakeholders, specifically engineering teams in Switzerland.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Architect, design, and implement a scalable automated test framework to verify Redfish APIs against product requirements and DMTF Redfish specifications.
• Define test strategies, coverage models, and validation approaches for Redfish-enabled embedded devices.
• Develop and maintain automated test suites using Python and Robot Framework.
• Validate Redfish schema compliance, endpoint behavior, error handling, and backward compatibility.
• Integrate automated Redfish testing with physical device behavior, including sensors, actuators, and firmware state.
• Collaborate with firmware, controls, and systems engineers to ensure accurate interpretation of requirements.
• Serve as the primary subject-matter expert for software-based verification and Redfish testing in the Americas lab.
• Analyze automated and manual test results to distinguish product defects from product test or testenvironment issues. 
• Produce clear, defensible test documentation, reports, and traceability of artifacts.
• Support continuous improvement of test infrastructure, tooling, and workflows.
• Communicate technical findings, risks, and recommendations effectively to global stakeholders.
