Job Description

Alpha Lead ( Test Lead ) - CTCT - Chennai
Location: Chennai

Experience:10+ years

Function: Engineering - Software Test & Validation

Team Size: 6-7 Test Engineers
Role Overview
We are looking for a Test Lead with deep experience in testing both embedded systems and front-end applications. This role is ideal for a technical leader who thrives in a dual role--guiding a small team of engineers while remaining hands-on with test strategy, automation, and execution.
You will be responsible for the end-to-end validation of our products, from low-level $C/C++$ software to the user-facing GUIs. This is not a purely managerial role; approximately 50% of your time will be spent on direct technical contribution, including test design, embedded test execution (HIL/SIL), front-end testing, and defect analysis.
Key Responsibilities
Leadership & Team ResponsibilitiesLead a team of 5-6 embedded test engineers at CTCT. Provide technical mentorship, career guidance, and performance feedback. Align test team activities with cross-functional engineering and product stakeholders. Drive a culture of quality, ownership, and continuous improvement. Identify and adopt new technology trends to enhance software testing.

Hands-on Test Engineering ResponsibilitiesOwn and execute test plans for embedded software running on different platforms. Define, review, and execute integration, system, and regression test suites. Work with C/C++ based codebases and front-end codebases/workflows, analyzing system behavior, logs, and debugging failures. Set up and maintain SIL (Software-in-the-Loop) and HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) testing environments. Develop automation frameworks where feasible to support repeatable validation. Collaborate with developers, systems engineers, and product managers to ensure end-to-end validation of requirements.

Requirements
Must-Have:8-10 years of experience in embedded software testing, with hands-on experience in C/C++-based systems. Strong experience with testing on embedded targets, including SIL/HIL environments. At least 2-3 years of experience in a people leadership/mentorship capacity. Excellent understanding of embedded debugging, software/system validation, and test automation. Ability to work with multidisciplinary teams (Product, hardware, software).
Clear communication, strong documentation, and team coordination skills.
Familiarity with testing for RTOS, microcontrollers, or safety-critical applications. Knowledge of CAN, UART, SPI, and other embedded communication protocols Experience with test automation tools for front-end applications. Prior experience in domains like construction automation, robotics, automotive, or industrial IoT.

Good to Have:Machine validation experience. * Knowledge of Integrating systems on machines and performing software validation.
