Voyis designs and manufactures high performance underwater optical sensors (lasers, cameras, lights) for underwater vehicles that expand capability and enhance understanding in underwater surveys and exploration. Our products have enabled our customers to survey more than 10,000km of ocean floor across all 7 continents, helping people better understand those remote, challenging environments.
Our mission is to push the limits of what’s possible subsea and enable every underwater vehicle to see the depths like we see the surface. All our products are proudly designed and built in Waterloo.
As an Embedded Systems Test Engineer at Voyis, you will play a critical role in improving how we automate, test, validate, and release the software that powers our underwater camera and laser systems.
You will drive and own quality across the full Voyis stack by validating entire systems including embedded compute, real-time sensor hardware and backend services – all with a focus on building test automation. The role is heavily focused on integration level testing and ensuring release reliability across the range of SW/FW/HW configurations in our core products. You will also contribute to validating utility libraries and internal tools that support both software development and production operations, including calibration, data management, and device maintenance.
Experience & Core Competencies
- 8+ years of experience in test automation, embedded systems validation, and systems integration testing in safety-critical or hardware-centric product environments (e.g., automotive, industrial, robotics, sensors)
- Proven track record architecting and building HIL test platforms from the ground up
- Advanced embedded systems background: firmware on ARM Cortex platforms, peripheral-level debugging, and board bring-up — able to test at the level the firmware is written
- Strong development skills in C/C++, and scripting languages such as Python, disciplined use of git, and professional software development standards
- Demonstrated experience mentoring engineers, leading peer reviews, and establishing team-wide testing standards and processes
