In this fully onsite role, you will sit at the absolute intersection of electrical hardware and low-level system software. You will develop, automate, and deploy rigorous automated testing scripts for critical components, including custom PCIe devices, network layers, and high-performance PC assemblies. If you are an expert at troubleshooting complex systems within Linux environments and want to drive New Product Introduction (NPI) lines from prototype to volume, apply today., * Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or an equivalent technical field. * 6 to 8 years of professional industry experience in hardware test development, systems validation, or embedded software QA environments. * Master-level proficiency scripting with Python and Shell/Bash. * Deep operational comfort navigating and troubleshooting within Linux environments at the command line. * Advanced, proven mastery of Git software deployment pipelines (resolving merge conflicts, history rewriting, advanced branching methodologies). * Demonstrated capacity to work independently, manage shifting sprint schedules, and deliver against strict product launch deadlines. Preferred Highlights: * Prior experience with NPI (New Product Introduction) testing pipelines and hardware design validation processes. * Coding familiarity or structural understanding of compiled languages like C++. * Direct exposure to high-speed hardware bus configurations (PCIe architecture, industrial networking routing). ## Description * Architect, build, and release comprehensive test and validation software solutions for early hardware bring-up activities. * Collaborate cross-functionally with Electrical Engineering and Core Software teams to define and implement correct test coverage frameworks across all factory tiers (PCBA, Module, System, and Vehicle). * Conduct hands-on testing, software triage, and structural debugging of complex prototype designs. * Navigate and debug system faults directly within Linux environments utilizing CLI-based utilities (e.g., lshw, ssh, network diagnostics). * Manage automated test scripting pipelines using Python and Bash/Shell environments. * Drive engineering best practices to continuously minimize automated test runtimes, boost factory throughput yields, and eradicate repeating false failures. * Manage test suite version control rigorously utilizing advanced Git workflows (branching, merging, history manipulation). ## Related Videos - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [JavaScript?
