Software Engineer (Python) GSE

Salary: $100,000 - 170,000 per year Requirements: Strong proficiency in Python, including asyncio and concurrent or asynchronous programming. Hands-on experience communicating with laboratory test equipment and hardware devices, such as instruments, controllers, and embedded systems, including VISA and SCPI. Solid understanding of object-oriented design and software design principles for complex systems. Demonstrated ability to debug, stabilize, and optimize software that interacts with physical hardware. Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across software, test, systems, electrical, and manufacturing engineering disciplines. Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. U.S. Person status as defined by ITAR, 22 CFR 120.62 (U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or protected individual). 3–9 years of professional Python software development experience. Preferred: Experience with automated electronic test systems and Ground Support Equipment (GSE) in aerospace, defense, or complex electronics environments. Preferred: Hands-on experience with PyVISA, serial interfaces, CAN, TCP/IP, or other common instrument and control protocols. Preferred: Experience in manufacturing or production test environments, particularly high-reliability or safety-critical settings. Preferred: A degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics Technology, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a closely related field. Preferred: Experience developing reusable software components or libraries used by multiple teams or projects. Preferred: Experience designing maintainable, scalable, reusable software for engineering and production organizations. Preferred: Experience mentoring or onboarding less experienced engineers. Responsibilities: Design and deliver GSE software platform subsystems according to established standards, principles, and practices. Write and review asynchronous Python code for concurrent control of instruments and support equipment. Develop reusable Python components and libraries for automated GSE and test systems. Define interfaces and abstractions for instruments, communication buses, and test procedures within your scope. Assess relevant tools and libraries and recommend solutions with supporting tradeoff analysis. Build and maintain reusable instrument drivers and communication abstractions for varied projects and test systems. Extend execution framework capabilities for sequencing, scheduling, concurrency, error handling, logging, and health monitoring. Develop measurement acquisition, data processing, and results management software integrated with enterprise engineering tools and data systems. Implement configuration, deployment, and monitoring mechanisms for GSE software in laboratory and production environments. Work with Integration & Test engineers to turn requirements into reliable, maintainable automated test procedures on the GSE platform. Coordinate integration of GSE software with enterprise systems, including engineering databases, PLM, configuration management, and data repositories. Contribute to framework design discussions with the Principal GSE Software Engineer and Lead Test Systems Engineer. Support production testing by diagnosing issues, improving performance, and increasing reliability. Follow professional software engineering practices, including code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD, documentation, and configuration management. Mentor junior software and test engineers in asynchronous programming, software design, and automated test and GSE practices. Review colleagues changes and raise design and maintainability concerns constructively. Analyze root causes of GSE software issues within your area and implement lasting corrective actions. Technologies: asyncio CI/CD Embedded Hardware Support LESS Python Robotics TCP/IP Web More: We are H10, a nationwide engineering services and consulting firm supporting clients in mechanical and hardware engineering, software and application development, data and analytics, and project and program management. This mid- or senior-level role focuses on owning significant subsystems of a reusable software platform for automated electronic test systems and GSE. It is a hands-on position at the intersection of software engineering, hardware control, and systems integration—not a QA automation or web application role—and offers the opportunity to grow toward broader platform and architectural responsibility. The estimated annual salary is $100,000–$170,000 and may vary with role duties, candidate credentials and experience, and geographic jurisdiction. Eligible employees scheduled for at least 30 hours per week can access medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k), health savings account, paid time off, and paid holidays. Work is performed in person in a normal office environment and may involve extended sitting, sustained visual concentration, and frequent repetitive computer-related movements. We provide equal employment opportunity and consider qualified applicants without discrimination based on protected characteristics. last updated 42 week of 2026
