The Manufacturing Test Software Engineer develops software used in mass production environments to calibrate, test, and interface with custom test fixtures and develops processes used in contract manufacturer sites to build cutting-edge AR/VR products. You will be involved from initial concept to execution and maintenance of specialized AR/VR specific applications that demand high reliability. You will be responsible for developing/integrating test algorithms, interfacing with hardware using vendor and internal APIs, building distributed and resilient algorithms to process data, and interfacing with logging, databases, and RESTful services.The person in this role will work in a cross-functional team environment working in a cross-functional team environment and will be responsible for planning the design, development, and implementation of factory test software. You will enforce manufacturability, testability, and ensure that cost-effective designs are implemented for testing and automation systems, software, and equipment. This position will have responsibilities for NPI test development and sustaining support of production-released test and automation systems.You will collaborate with cross-functional partners in an open team environment, adapting to evolving project requirements and priorities. You will apply your technical expertise to identify root causes and develop effective solutions for manufacturing test challenges.
