Job Description
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Test Automation Engineer to join a specialized team developing cutting-edge solutions for Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum monitoring and geolocation. Unlike typical software testing roles, this position sits at the intersection of software and physics. You will be building automation frameworks that verify not just user interfaces, but the intricate communication between control software and high-performance embedded hardware.
Key Responsibilities
Framework Development: Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks using Python (primary scripting) and Java.
Web & Interface Testing: Utilize Selenium to test web-based dashboards and control panels that visualize complex RF data.
Hardware Interaction: Create automated scripts that interact with embedded devices and RF receivers (Hardware-in-the-Loop testing).
CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated suites into the continuous integration pipeline (Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar).
Defect Management: Investigate bugs that may originate in the software stack or the hardware firmware, isolating the root cause.Essential Skills
Automation Core: Strong proficiency in Python for scripting and back-end testing, plus experience with Java.
UI Automation: Solid experience with Selenium WebDriver.
The "Hardware Factor": Proven experience working in an Embedded, Electronics, or Telecommunications environment. You must be comfortable working with physical setups, not just cloud environments.
OS: Proficiency in Linux environments (command line tools, scripting).
Networking: Understanding of TCP/IP, UDP, and how software communicates with network-attached hardware.
