Summary

Job Description

Essential Functions/Major Responsibilities:

Plan, design, document, execute, and report system-level testing each release cycle, following software requirements, design documentation, and Cohu's software development process.
Review customer and system requirements, software designs, and unit and integration test plans; provide actionable feedback that identifies defects and testability risks early in development.
Select an effective manual, automated, simulated, or equipment-based test approach based on requirement interfaces, risk, and available test infrastructure.
Create, maintain, and debug C#-based test scripts for internal automation tools, and execute automated tests in simulation and on production-representative equipment.
Perform end-user-focused functional, new-feature, defect-fix, and regression testing in an engineering lab using actual equipment and machine simulators.
Identify, reproduce, troubleshoot, analyze, and clearly document software defects in Jira, including evidence, impact, expected behavior, and reproducible steps.
Collaborate with software development engineers to triage defects, track corrective actions, retest fixes, and drive issues to verified closure.
Extract and analyze release data using SQL or scripting tools, generate clear charts and quality metrics, and communicate software quality status and risk to stakeholders.
Estimate testing effort and duration using the change scope, technical risk, available resources, test infrastructure, and relevant historical data.
Partner with engineering disciplines to investigate incidents found during system testing and determine whether root causes are related to software, hardware, integration, or test infrastructure.
Use company-approved AI tools responsibly to improve the accuracy, completeness, and efficiency of test plans, test scripts, defect analysis, and technical documentation.
Evaluate software development and testing practices, and propose measurable improvements that increase product quality, shorten release cycle time, and reduce cost.

Proficiency with Microsoft Office and working familiarity with project-planning and diagramming tools such as Microsoft Project and Visio.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience working in Agile/Scrum development environments, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, and related ceremonies.
Familiarity with Python or similar scripting languages for data analysis, reporting automation, or AI-assisted testing workflows.
