Software Engineer in Test-Hardware Validation

Introduction: The Software Engineer in Test-Hardware Validation will be responsible for writing and maintaining test software in Swift/Python for hardware validation harnesses. They will use AI/LLM tools for debugging, log analysis, and test scenario generation. This role will involve working closely with hardware test equipment and collaborating with engineering teams to ensure product quality.

Responsibilities:

• Write and maintain test software in Swift/Python for hardware validation harnesses
• Use AI/LLM tools to accelerate debugging, log analysis, and test scenario generation
• Reproduce, isolate, and document failures across hardware test runs
• Set up and maintain hardware test harnesses and lab equipment
• File detailed bug reports and communicate findings to engineering teams
• Maintain test documentation and propose new validation approaches

Requirements:

Must-Have Skills:

• Swift and/or Python with solid OOP – design patterns and clean code required
• AI/LLM tools for active debugging – Claude for log analysis and failure diagnosis
• Hardware lab willingness – daily work with test racks, harnesses, and bench equipment
• Systematic troubleshooting across software and hardware interaction layers
• Command line proficiency – scripting, process inspection, toolchain execution

Preferred Skills:

• Hardware/firmware testing experience – test harnesses, validation rigs, or embedded environments
• macOS familiarity – Xcode or Instruments a plus
• Computer architecture & power management fundamentals
• Test framework development experience
• Data analysis – pandas, matplotlib, or similar

Education:

• BS or MS in Computer Science, or related field – required
