You will lead and mentor software engineers building automated production test stands for avionics hardware. You will own the test-software roadmap, develop Python automation systems, guide architecture and releases, partner with electrical and mechanical engineers, improve test performance, and lead root-cause analysis across hardware and software systems.

Responsibilities

• Lead, mentor, and grow software engineers supporting avionics production testing
• Own the roadmap and execution for automated test stands and test-data systems
• Build Python software for test sequencing, equipment control, data collection, evaluation, and reporting
• Guide software architecture, code quality, configuration management, CI/CD, releases, and documentation
• Translate avionics interfaces and failure modes into automated test coverage
• Coordinate fixture, cabling, safety, and operator workflow requirements
• Configure, communicate with, and validate FPGA-enabled hardware
• Improve test coverage, uptime, throughput, triage, repeatability, and traceability
• Establish reliability and yield metrics
• Lead root-cause analysis across test systems and units under test

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, test automation, embedded systems, hardware-integrated software, or related fields
• 2+ years of direct people-management experience
