 + Strong experience with CI/CD pipeline development, building from scratch.

 + Proficiency in Docker and Kubernetes.

 + Understanding of DevOps principles.

 + Hands-on experience with hardware-integrated systems.

 + Experience with HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) or similar test environments.

 + Proven experience scaling systems beyond single-instance setups (parallelization).

Additional Skills & Qualifications

 + Experience in robotics, autonomous systems, or embedded environments.

 + Exposure to test automation frameworks (Python preferred).

 + Experience deploying infrastructure across multiple physical systems, such as lab benches or device farms.

 + Background in system architecture, beyond just implementation.

## Description

We are seeking a Senior Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Infrastructure Engineer to lead the transformation of our test infrastructure from prototype-level setups to scalable, production-grade systems. 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.

Responsibilities

 + 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.

 + Improve ease of deployment and system reliability.

 + Partner with test automation engineers, hardware engineers, and broader engineering teams (cloud/infra).
