Senior Test Firmware Engineer, Electrical Test

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Architect and build a unified test environment consisting of target-side test firmware and host-side Python/LabView execution frameworks.
• Develop C-based MCU test firmware that exposes internal hardware peripherals, drivers, and system functions via serial/bus APIs (UART, CAN, SPI, etc.) for external host control.
• Create reusable abstraction layers and drivers for both on-board microcontroller peripherals and benchtop lab equipment (using PyVISA, SCPI, or vendor APIs).
• Quickly debug and troubleshoot issues that span the electrical, firmware, and software boundaries.
• Engage with the manufacturing and electrical engineering test teams on test coverage and features.
• Participate in schematic and test plan reviews and provide expertise on test firmware capability.
• Maintain automated test suites, analyze results, and work with developers to resolve issues.
• Develop test HITL stations for regression testing.

Job requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science / Computer Engineering / Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• 5+ Years of Experience with architecture, design and development in Python.
• Experience writing embedded C for microcontrollers specifically for test instrumentation, register-level access, and exposing test hooks/APIs to a host PC.
• Experience developing or working with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) test systems.
• Familiarity with software development lifecycle (SDLC) and Agile methodologies.
• Experience with test management software (e.g., JIRA) and automated testing tools (e.g., Jenkins, CircleCI).
• Strong understanding of software QA methodologies.
• Experience with Linux operating systems and commands.
