Job Description

The Manufacturing Test Software Engineer develops software used in mass production environments to calibrate, test, and interface with custom test fixtures and develops processes used in contract manufacturer sites to build cutting-edge AR/VR products. You will be involved from initial concept to execution and maintenance of specialized AR/VR specific applications that demand high reliability. You will be responsible for developing/integrating test algorithms, interfacing with hardware using vendor and internal APIs, building distributed and resilient algorithms to process data, and interfacing with logging, databases, and RESTful services.

The person in this role will work in a cross-functional team environment working in a cross-functional team environment and will be responsible for planning the design, development, and implementation of factory test software. You will enforce manufacturability, testability, and ensure that cost-effective designs are implemented for testing and automation systems, software, and equipment. This position will have responsibilities for NPI test development and sustaining support of production-released test and automation systems.

You will collaborate with cross-functional partners in an open team environment, adapting to evolving project requirements and priorities. You will apply your technical expertise to identify root causes and develop effective solutions for manufacturing test challenges.

Responsibilities
Develop software solutions to perform calibration and testing on AR/VR products
* Develop and manage the roadmap and execution of software test architecture, device OS interactions, and factory integration
* Test-driven development with a focus on automated deployment, and hardware in the loop testing
* Work closely with IT/InfoSec to plan requirements and execute the deployment of distributed test systems across multiple vendor sites and programs
* Develop test specifications, procedures, and debug guides for test solutions
* Validate test software releases, including repeatability and negative testing, and coordinate software upgrades with CM/JDM partners
* Perform troubleshooting and debugging test systems and automation solutions from a software and hardware perspective independently
* Oversee the rollout and validation of SW releases at a manufacturing partner
* Work with third-party test integrators in designing, developing, and fabricating test systems
* Develop and modify test sequences, including measurement and calibration algorithms
* Work closely with other functional groups (TPMs, Electrical Engineering, software/firmware engineering) to bring the test systems development from the R&D stage all the way through to mass production
* Support failure analysis on systems returned from the field and use data to improve test strategies and processes
* Domestic and international travel: up to 50%
