Test Automation vacatures

Senior Test Automation Engineer

At TOPIC Embedded Systems, you don’t just write tests, you design how quality is built into complex systems where software, hardware and performance come together.

You work on technology where failure is not an option. Where reliability, reproducibility and speed are critical.

This is not a role for someone who “tests what’s there.”
This is a role for someone who defines

What problems will you solve as a Senior Test Automation Engineer?

• You work on systems where testing is not a phase, but a core part of engineering:
• Systems where issues only surface under specific timing and load conditions
• Software that is only reliable when testing is right at every level (unit → system)
• Test processes that don’t scale and need to be rethought from the ground up
• Automation that is brittle and needs to be redesigned into robust frameworks
• Complex hardware/software interactions that are difficult to reproduce
• Teams where quality is not yet embedded in the way of working

You operate at a level where testing is not about validation, but about prevention and control.

What will you actually do as a Senior Test Automation Engineer?

This is not an execution-focused test role.

• You design and build test architectures and automation frameworks
• You define test strategy and how automation is applied across systems
• You shape how teams think about and implement quality
• You act as a sparring partner for developers and stakeholders
• You structurally improve processes, tooling and ways of working
• You coach engineers and raise the overall quality bar

If you just want to write test cases, this is not your role.
If you want to define into systems, it is

What are we looking for?

• 5+ years of experience in test automation within complex (high-tech) environments
• Strong programming skills (C++ and/or Python)
• Experience designing and building test frameworks and strategies
• Familiar with methodologies like TDD, BDD or model-based testing
• Comfortable working with complex systems and abstract problem-solving
• Takes ownership and drives quality decisions

How will you grow here as a Senior Test Automation Engineer?

• You don’t grow here through training alone, but through the environment:
• You work with engineers who challenge you technically
• You operate across system levels (from embedded to integration)
• You are pushed to think beyond “testing what’s built”
• You directly influence how systems and teams are designed

And in addition:

• Permanent contract
• All-in compensation package between €57.000 and €76.000
• 26 vacation days (+ option to buy more)
• Hybrid working and flexible hours

Working at TOPIC Embedded Systems means that you keep growing

Even as a senior.

Because the systems get more complex.
Because the bar keeps getting higher.
And because quality is never “finished.”
