About the Job You Are Considering

Looking for somebody (engineer or technician) that can run Python scripts on low-level hardware interfaces. Must be knowledgeable about hardware interfaces and have hardware troubleshooting skills.

Your Role
  • Scope clarity

    • Hands-on with interfaces like UART/RS-422/RS-485, SPI, I2C, GPIO, Ethernet/CAN (as relevant).
    • Comfortable using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, power supplies, and signal generators.
  • Debugging expectations
    • Root-cause failures across script logic, firmware, and hardware bring-up issues.
    • Perform triage with clear issue isolation: test setup vs script defect vs hardware defect.
  • Code quality expectations
    • Write maintainable, modular Python with logging, retries/timeouts, and robust error handling.
    • Use version control (Git), code reviews, and basic CI/test execution workflows.
  • Traceability and documentation
    • Maintain requirement-to-test traceability and test evidence (logs, captures, summaries).
    • Document setup instructions, known failure modes, and reusable troubleshooting playbooks.
  • Independence + ownership
    • Own test development from test design through lab execution and closure.
    • Proactively improve script reliability and test throughput.
