The Software Test Engineer develops software used in mass production environments to calibrate, test, and interface with custom test fixtures and develops processes used in contract manufacturer sites to build cutting edge AR/VR products. You will be involved from initial concept to execution and maintenance of specialized AR/VR specific applications that demand high reliability. You will be responsible for developing/integrating test algorithms, interfacing with hardware using vendor and internal APIs, building distributed and resilient algorithms to process data, and interfacing with logging, databases, and restful services. The ideal candidate is a self-driven individual working in a cross-functional team environment and will be responsible for planning the design, development, and implementation of factory test software. You will enforce manufacturability, testability and ensure cost-effective designs are implemented for testing and automation systems, software, and equipment. This position will have responsibilities for NPI test development and sustaining support of production released test and automation systems. You must be responsive, flexible and able to succeed within an open collaborative peer environment. We are looking for someone with a productive mindset who can apply their expertise to solve problems in creative, insightful ways.

Software Test Engineer Responsibilities

• Develop software solutions to perform calibration/testing on AR/VR products


• Develop and manage roadmap and execution of software test architecture, device OS interactions, and factory integration


• Test driven development with a focus on automated deployment, and hardware in the loop testing


• Work closely with IT/InfoSec to plan requirements and execute the deployment of distributed test systems across multiple vendor sites and programs


• Develop test specifications, procedures, and debug guides for test solutions


• Validate test SW releases, including repeatability and negative testing, and coordinate SW upgrades with CM/JDM partners


• Perform troubleshooting and debugging test systems and automation solutions from a software and hardware perspective in full autonomy


• Oversee rollout and validation of SW releases at manufacturing partner


• Work with third-party test integrators in designing, developing and fabricating test systems


• Develop and modify test sequences including measurement and calibration algorithms


• Work closely with other functional groups (TPMs, Electrical Engineering, software/firmware Engineering) to bring the test systems development from the R&D stage all the way through to mass production


• Support failure analysis on systems returned from the field and use data to improve test strategies and processes


• Domestic and International travel required: up to 20%

Minimum Qualifications

• Knowledge of cloud and database technologies such as AWS and SQL


• Knowledge developing solutions in both Linux and Windows environments


• Proven experience introducing and qualifying manufacturing test solutions to production facilities


• Experience designing and executing development projects with a design of experiment approach (DOE) to service, troubleshoot, and solve engineering problems


• Knowledge in statistical methods (6s, SPC, Cpk) for data analysis in production control processes


• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science with 5+ years' experience


• Experience with implementing cryptographic protocols and algorithms


• Experience with full-stack web development
