Automation Architect

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Test Automation Engineer with hands-on
experience in semiconductor testing environments and remote lab setups to join our team focused
on In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) systems. The ideal candidate will have strong PyTest scripting skills
and a background in testing embedded systems and server-client architectures.

Key Responsibilities:

• System-Level Testing:
  Develop and maintain PyTest-based automated test scripts for verifying system-level
  functionality.
  Validate proper loading and execution of all applications on the headend servers via
  automated test cases.
  Conduct System Integration Testing (SIT) note: no black-box or white-box testing.
  Perform API testing for headend server enablers.
  Ensure debug data from IFE LRUs is captured and downloaded to the gateway.
  Validate lighting behavior (e.g., dimming during aircraft landing/takeoff).
  Seat-End Testing:
  Automate and validate reading light functions across all seat-end devices.
  Verify functionality of all peripheral bar buttons below display screens.
  Test Bluetooth enable/disable functions across seat-ends.
  Ensure media content can be pulled correctly from the headend server to all seat ends.
  Develop test cases to support hand control functionality validation.
  Sample Automation Use-Cases:
  Automate sending factory reset commands to seat-end units from the headend console and
  query status post-reset.
  Contribute to developing additional test cases for hand controls and related interfaces.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Strong Python and PyTest scripting experience for automation.
  Experience in semiconductor testing environments and working with remote server labs.
  Familiarity with embedded systems, LRU-based architectures, and IFE or aerospace systems
  preferred.
  Good understanding of API testing, debugging, and system-level validation.
  Ability to work collaboratively in a multi-team environment where app-level testing is
  handled separately.
  Preferred Qualifications:
  Prior experience in IFE systems or avionics.
  Familiarity with automation frameworks and tools for hardware-in-the-loop testing.
  Hands-on experience with networked embedded devices and data logging.
