• Validate logic around measurement, control, protection (industrial power systems)

• Investigate failures, analyse results, raise clear defect reports

• Support improvements to coverage, reliability, and execution time

• Contribute to CI/CD-driven testing where applicable

Must-have experience

• Strong Python test automation background

• Hands-on with Robot Framework

• Embedded testing experience (bare-metal or embedded Linux)

• Understanding of hardware/software interaction

• Exposure to industrial protocols: CAN / Modbus / Ethernet (or similar)

Highly valued

• Experience with three-phase power systems or industrial power equipment

• Testing power electronics / inverters / drives / protection relays
