System Test Engineer

System Test Engineer

Type: Full-Time, On-Site/Hybrid, Arlington, VA

We are seeking a full-time System Test Engineer to join our team in Arlington, Virginia who will help define, automate, and execute test plans for our software products. Since our products make use of additional RF hardware, e.g., USRP radios, this person will need to develop test automation with hardware in the loop. This type of work requires experience with test automation tools, interfacing with hardware used in testing, Linux operating system, containerization (Dockers), Git repositories, CI/CD test pipelines, scripting languages, and open-source build tools.

This is not just another job. This is a true career opportunity in a rapidly growing organization!

Some of What You ll be Doing:

• Lead the design, implementation, and improvement of our system test functions, including release test validation and automation.

• Collaborate closely with our engineering and ML teams to understand their needs and develop test and automation processes that streamline their workflows.

• Lead the testing of our software products from the prototype phase to a shippable software product that meets our quality standards.

• Manage the various components used in product testing, e.g., Docker images, CI/CD + testing pipelines, Git repositories, RF hardware.

• Automate QA testing of software releases and use appropriate tools to document and track test progress.

• Perform release testing of frontend and backend software components.

• Develop and help enforce proper execution of test plans.

• Use version control in implementation of automation scripts.

• Use Jira, Confluence, and similar tools to interact with the development teams and document test policies and procedures.

• Create scalable software test architecture that can be reused when testing separate but similar software products that may share various parts of the test infrastructure.

What we need to see:

• Minimum 3 years of testing software products that make use of hardware components, e.g., embedded hardware, IoT devices, sensors, signal generators, etc.

• A fundamental understanding of the software development lifecycle and testing best practices.

• Comfort with automated testing and deployment of production level software, e.g., GitLab, Jenkins, scripting languages, Jira, Git projects.

• Ability to work in various Linux environments: local, remote, container, virtual machine.

• Strong familiarity with scripting languages used in test automation.

• Experience with large codebases and complex build environments.

• Strong communication and teaming skills to work collaboratively and productively in a small company environment.

• Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States by ship to meet certain information processing and contract requirements.

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with C++ and Python build tools such as CMake, PyBindings, and Nuitka is a plus.

• Familiarity with test suites like Google Test (GTest) is a plus.

• Familiarity with self-hosted, on-site repositories such as Nexus is a plus.

• Familiarity with testing software products that make use of RF components like radios and/or antenna arrays is a plus.

• Experience with developing and maintaining Docker images is a plus.

• Interest in machine learning, RF/5G/RAN hardware (and the intersection of these areas) is a plus.

Education Requirements:

BS in Electrical/Computer Engineering (must have).
MS in Computer Science or Electrical/Computer Engineering is a plus.
