Mechatronics Test Engineer

About the role

Movu Robotics builds intralogistics robots with in-house design and manufacturing, and wants to catch software problems early. It is building an in-house software testing capability centred on test automation. As a Mechatronics Test Engineer you develop test software, help build SiL and HiL test environments, investigate how products can fail and give developers fast, actionable feedback.

Key responsibilities

• Develop maintainable test software in Python with reusable components, clear assertions and useful error messages.
• Automatically test suitable Linux applications through their software interfaces and data communication, for example in a SiL environment with Docker.
• Help build HiL setups that test embedded software and electronics using simulated sensor and actuator signals.
• Translate requirements, historical defects and product risks into automated tests, including failure scenarios, boundary values and configuration variants.
• Make test execution repeatable and integrate it into the CI/CD flow, with traceable versions, configurations and results.
• Investigate test failures with developers, document results, recommend corrective actions and obtain stakeholder acceptance.
• Log and track defects to closure, and share knowledge and document ways of working.

Required profile

• Bachelor's or master's degree (Mechatronics, Electronics, Automation, Computer Science or similar) or equivalent practical experience.
• At least 5 years of engineering experience, preferably in manufacturing, automation, machine building or aerospace.
• Hands-on experience developing and maintaining a well-defined test solution.
• Comfortable in Linux, able to analyse logs, processes, configurations and communication.
• Clear communicator in Dutch and English (C1 or higher); eligible to work in Belgium and able to commute daily to Lokeren (no telework).

Required skills

• Solid Python foundation: OOP, SOLID, PEP8, error handling, git and testing your own test software.
• Test design: explaining which risks a test covers and what uncertainty remains.
• Nice to have: HiL/SiL, interface simulation, pytest, Robot Framework, Docker, Azure DevOps, embedded C/C++ debugging, electronics and measurement tools, and electrical/mechanical test procedures.

What we offer

• Intensive training by experienced colleagues.
• Company car with fuel card/charging pass, group health insurance, meal vouchers, eco vouchers and net allowances.
• Laptop and iPhone with subscription.
• 20 days of vacation plus 12 extra days for a full year on a 40-hour week (32 days total).
