This role is part of the Quality Engineering team and holds significant impact as a Senior-level position. The engineer will be responsible for architecting and scaling HIL environments, enabling parallel testing, and deploying robust infrastructure that supports internal validation and potential customer-facing solutions. This position is ideal for candidates with experience bridging software infrastructure with physical hardware environments., * Design and scale Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test benches from prototype to production-grade systems.

• Architect solutions for parallel execution across multiple test benches (10-20+ systems).
• Develop scalable infrastructure that supports deployment, repeatability, and maintainability.
• Create fixtures and systems to support reliable hardware integration.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines from scratch.
• Integrate test execution into pipelines for automated validation.
• Deploy and manage infrastructure using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Enable automated test workflows tied to HIL environments.
• Collaborate with test automation engineers to integrate Python-based tests into infrastructure.
• Enable execution of automated tests across distributed hardware systems.
• Improve system-level testing throughput and efficiency.
• Drive efforts to parallelize testing environments.
• Support deployment of test systems internally and potentially to customer environments.
