JOB TITLE: Manufacturing Test Engineering, Software As a Software Manufacturing Test Engineer, you will join the team to build, scale, and maintain software driving manufacturing test systems for complex hardware. You will develop production software that integrates with laboratory instrumentation and DAQs, bridging low-level hardware control with high-level test automation. Your daily responsibilities include authoring automated test sequences, managing PLC-integrated station control via Modbus TCP, and building hardware-free simulation environments. You will utilize Python for hardware control and test sequencing, and C# for test executives and operator interfaces. Key technical skills include Linux/Unix proficiency, shell scripting, and experience with UART, CAN, and RS-485/RS-232 protocols. You will also leverage Nix and NixOS for reproducible environments while ensuring hardware meets mission-critical quality and production throughput demands through root-cause analysis and database integration.

What you'll do

Develop and maintain production software in Python and C# to automate hardware test sequences and operator interfaces.
Integrate test applications with sensors, DAQs, programmable power supplies, and electronic loads.
Implement low-level hardware communication using UART, CAN, and RS-485/RS-232 protocols to command devices under test.
Build hardware-free simulation environments using containerized images and virtual CAN replays for regression testing.
Deploy and debug software manufacturing test systems on Linux/Unix platforms using terminal tools and network debugging utilities.
Manage reproducible software environments using Nix and NixOS to eliminate dependency drift across production lines.
Perform root-cause analysis for complex electrical, firmware, and software failures found on the manufacturing floor.
Log parametric test data and integrate test stations with database systems and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).

What we're looking for

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
3+ years of industry experience as a Software Manufacturing Test Engineer or in a related hardware test automation role.
Strong proficiency in writing production code in Python for software manufacturing test automation, device control, and data handling.
Working knowledge of C# (.NET) for developing software manufacturing test applications, operator UIs, or system services.
Strong Linux/Unix systems knowledge, including terminal proficiency, shell scripting, SSH, and network configuration/debugging.
Demonstrated experience interfacing software test suites with embedded protocols including UART, CAN, and RS-485 / RS-232.
Familiarity with controlling standard test equipment such as programmable power supplies, DMMs, oscilloscopes, and DAQ devices.
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
