We are seeking a Software Engineer to join an agile/scrum development team focused on building and supporting a reusable operating environment for automated product testing and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation systems. 

This role involves developing software that interfaces directly with complex test equipment and hardware systems, enabling automated testing, simulation, and validation of advanced engineering products. 

What You Will Do 

• Engineer will be part of an agile/scrum development team, creating & supporting a re-usable operating environment for automated product testing and hardware-in-the-loop simulations.  

• Develop modular software applications which interface test equipment hardware (including prime mover controllers, loadbanks, power supplies, discrete/analog I/O and comms data networks) and integrate them into a cohesive system. 

• Collaborate with electrical engineers on wiring, hardware configuration and test stand requirements. 

• Develop leading-edge software tools, supercomputing clusters, and real-time software applications for Automatic Test Equipment using Object Oriented Design, scripting languages (Python, TCL & others), and the C++ programming language. 

• Provide on-site and remote support (including debugging, operating system administration, and computer hardware build-up / teardown) to our internal customers in development labs. 

• Lead development efforts for large software projects from a technical perspective (design, implementation, and test), as well as from a financial planning perspective. 

• Develop for Linux and Windows operating systems. 

• Generate and maintain software documentation and change requests. 

• Review and update department processes. 

Qualifications You Must Have 

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years of experience 

• Prior experience developing and integrating software that directly interfaces with hardware-based test or measurement systems, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems, or Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) environments) in a lab or production setting 

Qualifications We Prefer  

• Python, C++, Bash, and TCL scripting experience  

• LabVIEW experience  

• Strong understanding of electrical engineering concepts  

• Object-oriented design and software design patterns  

• Configuration management experience  

• UX design experience
