  • Continuous improvement of test coverage, performance and speed.
  • Break down complex systems into testable sub blocks.
  • Build out the Embedded Test Framework, including components to emulate hardware functionality.
  • Create verification test plans and protocols.
  • Play a vital role in raising the quality of software and identifying areas of risk.
  • Cross-functional work across multiple teams to identify and root-cause failures in the field.

Skills & Qualifications

  • S. degree with 5+ years of software development experience.
  • At least 3+ years of collaborative development in Python specific to testing.
  • Experienced interfacing to Embedded Systems running Linux or bare metal microcontrollers.
  • Working with Git, Continuous Integration (Jenkins) and Agile development processes.
  • Writing high quality testable code and following good software practices.

Assets

  • Familiar with Bash, Make, C/C++ and Board Design.
  • Worked with RPi’s and STM Discovery boards and Jenkin Nodes.
  • Interfaced with device protocols: I2C, SPI, RS484, JTAG, UART, and CAN.
  • Worked with Pytest or a similar test framework.

The base salary range for this position is $170,000 to $225,000 annually. Actual compensation may include bonus and equity, and will be determined based on factors such as experience, skills, and qualifications.
