## Description

As a software engineer, you will own and evolve the software infrastructure that supports hardware testing and system validation. This role includes developing and maintaining software for our Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) testbeds, automating Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP), and building robust tools that enable fast, reliable testing across engineering workflows. In addition, you will lead the development and management of our telemetry systems for development environments, ensuring high observability, performance monitoring, and data accessibility across teams. If you seek high-impact and are excited by fast-paced, intense, Skunkworks-style projects, we encourage you to reach out to join our team., * Design and implement modular, reusable automation software-primarily in Python-to support manufacturing and engineering design verification.

 * Write automation software for test article, test equipment, instrumentation, and production documentation systems.
 * Enable test execution across diverse environments, including hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) and virtualized simulations.
 * Create algorithms to analyze complex test data and verify compliance with acceptance criteria.
 * Develop tools that improve the frequency, reliability, and automation of software deployment, test execution, and data analysis within a continuous integration and release environment.
