Job Details

Duration: 6-month contract

Location: Reno, NV (occasionally need to travel to Dallas, TX and/or Monterey, Mexico manufacturing facilities)

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain manufacturing test software for automated test equipment supporting PCBA functional, and EOL testing.
• Write and maintain test software using Golang
• Integrate test software with hardware interfaces, instrumentation, communication protocols, and manufacturing systems.
• Partner with hardware, firmware, and systems engineering teams to ensure Design for Test (DFT) and robust test coverage.
• Support deployment, debug, and sustaining of test software at internal and contract manufacturing sites.
• Continuously improve test uptime, cycle time, and yield through software optimization and smarter diagnostics.
• Support and implement automated data capture, logging, and analysis to detect anomalies and prevent escapes.
• Participate in root cause analysis of production issues and implement long term software-based solutions.
• Maintain clear documentation for software architecture, test flows, deployment procedures, and troubleshooting guides.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Minimum of 4 years of experience developing software for manufacturing test, validation, or automation systems. Candidates with a different experience level still welcome to apply.
