What You’ll Do

This role focuses on developing and maintaining data-acquisition and display life-test software for early prototype and reliability testing. You will work closely with hardware and test engineering teams to automate measurement collection, validate software in lab environments, and convert legacy tools to modern stacks.

• Develop and maintain data-acquisition software for Life Test SOPs and prototype test boards using LabVIEW and Python.
• Convert legacy LabVIEW tools and scripts to Python, delivering equivalent or improved functionality.
• Adapt and modify display measurement station software to support reliability testing use cases.
• Interface with DAQ hardware to automate collection of electrical, optical, and environmental data from life-test fixtures.
• Validate, debug, and troubleshoot software on-site in lab and hardware environments.
• Write and maintain technical documentation (architecture, README, Confluence pages) so stakeholders can build, distribute, and maintain projects.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, test, and reliability teams; obtain sign-off from the confidential client team and key stakeholders.
