At TOPIC, we work every day on high-tech innovations to make the world smarter, healthier, and better. Are you the driven and ambitious Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) who enjoys writing production-quality code to automate testing of complex embedded systems that we are looking for? “TOPIC is unique because it combines cutting-edge technology with a strong culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing. It offers the opportunity to work on impactful, real-world projects in an environment that supports both personal and professional growth." Bohdan Dovbysh I Test Automation Engineer What will you do as a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)? As an Software Development Engineer in Test, you operate at the intersection of software development and quality engineering. You design and build high-quality test infrastructure and automation in the same way developers build production systems. With your strong programming skills in C++and/or Python, you ensure software is testable, scalable, and reliable by design. You work closely with software engineers on complex high-tech systems, contributing directly to codebases, test architecture, and continuous integration pipelines. Rather than only validating software, you actively shape how it is built and verified. Your responsibilities as a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET): - Design, develop, and maintain test frameworks and automation tooling using C++ and/or Python - Contribute to production code and testability improvements in collaboration with software engineers - Develop automated tests across multiple levels (unit, integration, system) as part of the development process - Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines and test infrastructure to enable fast and reliable feedback - Analyze complex systems and failures, and trace issues to root cause in code - Drive testability, observability, and quality-by-design principles within development teams - Work on high-tech systems (embedded / hardware-software integration / distributed systems) with real-world impact - Take ownership of technical decisions around test architecture and tooling - Continuously improve automation strategy with a strong focus on engineering scalability and maintainability
