About the RoleThe Embedded Test Automation Engineer will build and maintain the automated production test environment for our embedded Linux instruments. This role connects hardware, embedded software, lab systems, and cloud infrastructure to support reliable device provisioning, calibration, testing, and recovery.
You will develop tools and workflows that identify and network-boot devices, configure storage and file systems, install software, and validate system functionality. You will also integrate device calibration results and configuration parameters with cloud-based systems to maintain accurate production records and support disaster recovery.
We’re looking for an engineer who enjoys solving problems across hardware and software and can turn complex production processes into reliable, repeatable automation.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain an integrated automated test environment for embedded Linux hardware.
- Automate device identification, network booting, disk partitioning, file system configuration, and software installation.
- Develop secure workflows that store and retrieve device-specific calibration results and instrument configuration data from cloud-based systems.
- Design and expand automated test suites using Python, Pytest, LabVIEW, or similar tools.
- Develop Python tools that integrate with existing LabVIEW and Python calibration systems.
- Troubleshoot issues across hardware, operating systems, software, and network connections.
- Partner with hardware, firmware, test, manufacturing, and cloud teams to improve device bring-up, testing, and configuration.
- Improve the reliability, repeatability, and maintainability of production test processes.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
Required Qualifications:
- 4–7 years of experience in embedded systems, test automation, manufacturing test engineering, or a related field.
- Strong Python programming skills and experience building maintainable automation tools.
- Hands-on experience using Pytest or a similar framework for hardware, system, or integration testing.
- Working knowledge of embedded Linux, including boot processes, network booting, storage partitioning, and file system configuration.
- Experience integrating systems through APIs, cloud databases, or other data services.
- Ability to diagnose complex issues across hardware, operating systems, software, and networks.
- Experience working across engineering disciplines to deliver production-ready systems.
- Practical approach to documentation, error handling, and long-term maintainability.
Nice to Have:
- Experience developing or maintaining LabVIEW automation and integrating LabVIEW with Python.
- Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop test environments and automated laboratory equipment.
- Experience applying CI/CD practices to embedded systems or physical hardware testing.
- Experience supporting production provisioning, calibration, or manufacturing test systems.
- Familiarity with cloud-based data storage, device configuration management, or disaster-recovery workflows.
Benefits
- Salary range: $130,000 - $150,000 annual base
- Health, dental, and vision insurance with low deductibles and premiums paid by company 99% for self and 50% for dependents and/or spouse
- 401K with company match (no vesting period)
- Student loan assistance
- Generous culture around time off, including:
- Unlimited PTO
- 6 days of sick time per year
- 11 paid company holidays per year
- up to 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave (gender neutral) including adoptions
