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.  Must be able to work independently and coordinate with various product teams.  The job will also involve providing weekly status and sharing information and best practices with other members of the teams.

Your Role

1. 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.

1. Traceability and documentation

• Maintain requirement-to-test traceability and test evidence (logs, captures, summaries).
