   • Collaborate with design and development teams to understand software requirements and create comprehensive test coverage for each feature.
   • Use MATLAB/Simulink to simulate control systems and validate software functionality.

2. Software Testing and Debugging:

   • Perform functional, regression, system, and integration testing of control system software.
   • Identify software defects, log them, and work with development teams to resolve them.
   • Execute automated and manual testing procedures, ensuring compliance with project requirements.
   • Use Python scripts for test automation and performance testing.

3. Automation and Tool Development:

   • Automate test cases using Python to minimize manual intervention and increase test coverage.
   • Use automated testing tools and continuous integration (CI) frameworks to validate software builds and deployments.

4. Verification and Validation (V&V):

   • Conduct V&V activities for control systems software, ensuring adherence to system requirements, design specifications, and safety standards.
   • Ensure that all tests comply with industry standards and guidelines for control systems.
   • Analyze test results to determine if the software meets the acceptance criteria and report test status.

5. Documentation and Reporting:

   • Create and maintain documentation for test cases, procedures, and test results.
   • Generate detailed test reports for internal teams and stakeholders.
   • Provide feedback to development teams for improving code quality and overall system performance.

6. Collaboration:

   • Work closely with software developers, systems engineers, and other cross-functional teams to ensure the quality of control system software.
   • Participate in design and code reviews from a testing perspective to identify potential issues.

Required Skills and Experience:

• MATLAB/Simulink: Hands-on experience in developing test cases and simulations for control systems.
• Python: Strong scripting skills for automation and testing.
• Verification & Validation (V&V): Proficient in V&V processes for testing embedded systems and control systems software.
• Control Systems: Good understanding of control systems theory and hands-on testing experience in the domain.
• Debugging & Troubleshooting: Proven ability to identify, analyze, and debug software issues.
