Test System Software Engineer (Python)

The Team

Our team specializes in automated testing across multiple stages of product assembly. We support testing from low-level PCBA validation through intermediate assembly stages up to final End-of-Line (EOL) testing. Our mission is to ensure and continuously enhance product quality by delivering well-designed, reliable and scalable automated test systems.

We work with internally developed test platforms, multiple production test stations tailored to the specific test scope, a global test results database, data visualization and analysis tools, and a growing set of drivers controlling measurement equipment and test hardware.

We cooperate with other engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure proper system integration.

Role Overview

As a Test System Software Engineer, you will work at the intersection of software, hardware, and manufacturing. You will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and improving production test systems while working closely with production teams to diagnose and resolve issues on the manufacturing line.

You will have a direct impact on manufacturing yield, failure detection, and production throughput. Your automations and data tooling will be used daily on the production line, making the difference between manual firefighting and predictable, scalable manufacturing.

This is not a QA or software-only testing role. The position focuses on production test automation tool development with hardware interaction, and manufacturing support.

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for:

Maintaining and troubleshooting automated test systems used on production lines

Working closely with production teams to investigate test failures

Performing rootcause analysis across software, hardware, and test infrastructure

Improving the test system based on failure analysis

Developing and maintaining internal software tools, including:

Test tool platforms and associated automation frameworks (Python)

Test data storage, visualization, and analysis tools (SQL, Grafana)

Clear and maintainable technical documentation

Taking ownership of test systems deployed on production lines, including their reliability, maintainability, and longterm evolution

Continuously improving manufacturing and test processes, with focus on robustness, execution time, and scalability

Replacing legacy test solutions with modern, maintainable architectures

Collaborating with colleagues from test engineering, R&D, mechanical and electrical engineering, and production line teams

Supporting additional R&D and automation initiatives based on business needs and personal initiative

You should have

Essential

3+ years of hands-on software development experience

Strong proficiency in Python for automation, including writing maintainable test code, interacting with hardware drivers, and troubleshooting issues

Solid understanding of digital electronics fundamentals

Ability to understand complex systems and simplify them into robust, maintainable solutions

Desirable

Experience developing, maintaining, or supporting automated test systems in a manufacturing environment

Working knowledge of digital communication interfaces e.g. CAN, SPI, I²C, Modbus etc.

Understanding of best practices in manufacturing environments

Hands - on experience with test and measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, signal generators, and data acquisition systems

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for test software

Proficient in the creation of technical documentation

Basic proficiency with Linux command-line tools

Working knowledge of SQL

Personal Attributes

Have a positive can-do attitude toward technical challenges

Be proactive and continuously look for opportunities to improve systems and processes

Communicate clearly and effectively with colleagues across disciplines

Have a strong instinct for thoughtful automation and system simplification

Quality focused with good attention to detail

Self-driven, eager to learn and develop as a valued member of the team

Our Values

We work together

We believe in people

We won’t accept the ‘way it has always been done’

We listen to learn

We’re trying to do the right thing
