Senior Software Tester - Embedded systems 

Be part of building the future of test automation

Overview 

Do you want to take a leading role in shaping how embedded systems are tested – not just what is tested? 

At Munters, we develop sustainable and energy‑efficient climate solutions for industrial environments. Our embedded control systems are a critical part of this mission – and now we are looking for a Senior Software Tester for Embedded Systems who wants to be a key driver in our test automation journey. 

This is not a “maintain what already exists”-role. You will join us in an early and formative phase of test automation, where our clear ambition is to automate everything that can be automated – from hardware‑near system tests to integration and regression testing. 

You will have the opportunity to shape strategy, tools, frameworks and ways of working, and to use your experience to raise both quality and efficiency across the organization. If you enjoy taking ownership, challenging old truths, and driving change – this role is for you. 

What you will do 

As a Senior Software Tester, you will act as a technical leader within test and quality for embedded systems, working closely with software, hardware and product teams. 

You will: 

• Take overall ownership of test strategy, test design and test automation for embedded control systems 

• Be a driving force in the transition towards high test automation coverage, choosing and implementing frameworks, tools and best practices 

• Design and execute advanced system tests, both manual and automated, including hardware‑near testing 

• Build and evolve test environments, simulators, stubs and tooling 

• Advocate for testability early in the development lifecycle, influencing architecture and requirements 

• Analyze complex system failures and lead root‑cause investigations 

• Coach and mentor other testers and developers in testing and automation practices 

• Collaborate closely with developers, product management and quality functions to embed quality throughout the lifecycle 

• Communicate risks, insights and improvement proposals clearly to stakeholders 

You won’t wait to be told what to improve – you will see opportunities, take initiative, and push the organization forward. 

Our ambition within test automation 

We are at the beginning of a focused journey where: 

• Test automation is a first‑class citizen, not an afterthought 

• We aim for maximum automation coverage where it creates value 

• Test is integrated into CI/CD and daily development workflows 

• We continuously explore new technologies, including AI‑assisted testing, to improve speed, coverage and insight 

You will have a real mandate to influence this journey. 

Who we think you are 

You are an experienced tester within embedded systems, but just as importantly, you are a change driver. 

You likely have: 

• Several years of experience in system testing of embedded systems 

• Several years of experience in test automation, e.g. Python, Robot Framework or similar 

• Strong understanding of microcontrollers, embedded Linux and communication protocols 

• Experience with HIL testing and troubleshooting 

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and version control 

• Experience working in agile/SCRUM environments 

It’s a plus if you have experience within industrial or climate control systems, C/C++, IoT/cloud technologies, or electrical systems – but mindset and drive are just as important as the exact background. 

Personal qualities we value

• Proactive and courageous – you are not afraid to challenge existing solutions 

• Driven by improvement – quality, efficiency and technical excellence motivate you 

• Strategic yet hands‑on – you can define direction and still build things yourself 

• Collaborative and communicative – you enjoy working across disciplines 

• Curious and open‑minded, with an interest in new tools, methods and AI‑based solutions that create real value. 

Why Munters? 

• A real opportunity to influence architecture, tooling and quality direction 

• A role with both technical leadership and hands‑on work 

• Products that contribute to a more sustainable world 

• A collaborative and knowledgeable engineering culture 

• A transformation journey where your experience truly matters
