Job Description

We are seeking a motivated Software Engineer to join a tight-knit team building and maintaining an automated test suite for a family of tactical-system emulators. You'll design, implement, and evolve software that mimics complex operational environments, enabling rigorous, repeatable testing of frequently updated firmware and software under test.

This role demands strong software engineering fundamentals in text-based languages (Python, C#, C++, or similar) to architect test frameworks, automate sequences, integrate with CI/CD pipelines, and handle data processing. You'll also work with LabVIEW to interface with test hardware, build measurement VIs, and maintain existing LabVIEW-based test scripts—but your primary value will come from your ability to write clean, maintainable code in modern programming languages.

The ideal candidate brings strong problem-solving skills, clear communication, and a proactive, "hungry-to-learn" attitude in a fast-paced, high-visibility program.

Basic Qualifications

- Proficiency in at least one text-based programming language (e.g., Python, C#, C++) with demonstrated ability to design modular, maintainable software for test automation, data processing, or system integration.
- Working knowledge of LabVIEW for test and measurement, including the ability to create reusable VIs, understand LabVIEW design patterns, and maintain/extend existing LabVIEW test sequences.
- Ability to interpret and work from hardware schematics, wiring diagrams, and mechanical drawings.
- Familiarity with version-control systems (Git, SVN) and configuration-management best practices.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced team environment.
- A proactive, "hungry-to-learn" attitude and willingness to acquire new skills on the job.

Desired skills

- Demonstrated experience integrating software modules into automated test frameworks and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps).
- Solid understanding of software testing principles, test-case design, and verification/validation processes.
- Hands-on experience with Jira (or a similar issue-tracking tool) and familiarity with Agile/Scrum workflow practices, including sprint planning, backlog grooming, and daily stand-ups.
- Basic understanding of networking protocols and data exchange formats (e.g., TCP/IP, UDP, JSON, XML) commonly used in tactical system emulation.
- Experience with the LabVIEW Architecture Framework (or equivalent design patterns) for larger-scale LabVIEW projects.
