Robotics Test and Validation Engineer

pWe want to catch software problems earlier: before they slow down full system tests or reach customers. That's why we are building an in-house software testing capability, with test automation at its core. /ppAs a Mechatronics Test Engineer, you develop test software, help build SiL and HiL test environments, investigate how our product can fail, and give developers fast, actionable feedback on changes. /ppYou work with the test lead, embedded software engineers, and colleagues from electronics and mechanical testing. During the build-up phase, you learn from experienced colleagues and, where applicable, specialised partners. You help build knowledge and ownership within Movu and get room to help shape the approach. /ph3Job Description /h3ulliYou develop maintainable test software in Python, with reusable components, clear assertions, and useful error messages. /liliYou help automatically test suitable Linux applications through their software interfaces and data communication, for example in a SiL environment with Docker. /liliYou help build HiL setups that test embedded software and electronics using simulated sensor and actuator signals. /liliYou translate requirements, historical defects, and product risks into relevant automated tests, including failure scenarios, boundary values, and configuration variants. /liliYou make test execution repeatable and help integrate it into the development and release flow (CI/CD), with traceable software versions, configurations, and results. /liliYou investigate test failures with developers: is the cause in the product, the configuration, the environment, or the test itself? /liliYou document test results, recommend corrective actions, and obtain stakeholder acceptance. /liliYou log defects and issues and track them to closure. /liliYou collaborate closely with other teams, both within and outside Movu. /liliYou document decisions and ways of working, share knowledge, and help onboard future colleagues. /li /ulh3Qualifications /h3ulliA technical bachelor's or master's degree (Mechatronics, Electronics, Automation, Computer Science, or similar), or equivalent practical experience. /liliAt least 5 years of engineering experience, preferably in manufacturing, automation, machine building, or aerospace. /liliHands‑on experience with software development and automated testing. You can independently develop and maintain a well‑defined test solution. /liliA solid foundation in Python: structured code (OOP, SOLID, PEP8), error handling, version control (git), and testing your own test software. /liliExperience with test design: you can explain which risks a test covers and what uncertainty remains. /liliYou work comfortably in Linux and can investigate logs, processes, configurations, and communication. /liliYou can systematically analyse a software or integration problem and discuss findings clearly with other engineers. /liliInterest in embedded systems and the interaction between software, electronics, sensors, and actuators. /liliYou are autonomous and a communicative team player. /liliYou communicate clearly in Dutch and English (English at C1 level or higher). /liliYou are eligible to work in Belgium and can commute daily to our headquarters in Lokeren (no telework). /li /ulh3Nice to have /h3ulliYou don't need to know everything already. Relevant extras include: /liliHiL/SiL, interface simulation, or hardware control from test software /lilipytest, Robot Framework, or similar test frameworks /liliDocker and Azure DevOps /liliCommunication protocols, data communication, and network traffic analysis /liliReading embedded C/C++ and helping debug on an embedded target /liliBasic knowledge of electronics and measurement tools (oscilloscope, logic analyser) /liliExperience executing electrical and mechanical tests according to predefined procedures, and hands‑on work with hardware /liliResponsible use of AI to support analysis and test development, with verification of the results /li /ulh3What do
