Title: Junior Software Development Engineer in Manufacturing Test
Location: Santa Clara, CA Onsite
Duration: 6-12 months+ possible conversion to perm
Process: 1st Rd: 30 min with the manager in-person, 2nd round with the 2-3 hours onsite with the team, 3rd may be required if they re not sure and need more rounds to assess.
Ideal Start Date: Not necessarily anything to fill a gap here, looking for the right candidate to join their team (perm-minded mentality)
Background Check Required
Scope: Building test software to help validate high-speed digital designs and achieve high yields in manufacturing our Network products used in the computer networking industry's largest data centers.
The Manufacturing Test team is responsible for developing test scripts for Final System Test of switches, increasing efficiency by automating, debugging test failure, and lastly managing daily support of our products, systems, and tools in manufacturing. The successful candidate will work closely on a project from its early conception to the final stage of testing before it is shipped to a customer. They will work with fellow engineers and members of the Hardware, Platform and Software team to understand the design and support the development of new products and drive design for test excellence. They will also work with customers to add customer specific configurations before shipping the units. They will play a major role in improving yield at the contract manufacturer site as their software will be critical in validating the builds and quickly identify manufacturing defects.
Job responsibilities:
- Support the development of new products and drive design for test excellence.
- Participate on a project team of engineers involved in the specification, design, development, and test of hardware.
- Develop and implement test scripts using scripting language, such as Python and/or GO.
