Location: Cupertino

Must Have Technical/Functional Skills
* Develop and maintain data acquisition software for new Life Test SOPs and
specialized early prototype test boards, including work in LabVIEW and Python.
* Convert legacy LabVIEW-based tools and scripts to Python (primary focus for
Shanghai engineer)
* Support early prototype Display Life Test software needs (primary focus for SCV
engineer).
* Adapt and modify existing display measurement station software for reliability testing
use cases.
* Interface with DAQ hardware to automate collection of electrical, optical, and
environmental data from display life test fixtures.
* Validate, debug, and troubleshoot software in-person and on-device in lab
environments alongside reliability hardware.
* Write and maintain technical documentation for software tools, measurement station
configurations, and test procedures.
* Collaborate closely with cross-functional hardware and test engineering teams to
align software solutions with evolving requirements.

Roles & Responsibilities
* This work involves developing and maintaining data
acquisition software for Life Test Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and
specialized early prototype test boards.
* Engineers will work across LabVIEW and
Python, with a strategic focus on converting legacy LabVIEW-based tools to Python.
* support is needed for adapting and modifying existing display
measurement station software for reliability testing use cases, including early prototype
Life Test software support.
* Engineers will interface with DAQ hardware to automate collection of electrical, optical,
and environmental data from display life test fixtures.
* This work requires close collaboration with cross-functional hardware and test engineering teams to align
software solutions with evolving requirements.
* This role requiring regular collaboration with hardware teams and lab
equipment.
Generic Managerial Skills, If any
* Experience with NI TestStand
* Knowledge of Python / C / C++ for integration or automation
* Experience with hardware validation, NPI, or manufacturing test systems
* Familiarity with version control systems (Git, SVN)
* Experience working with automated test equipment (ATE)
* Exposure to CI/CD pipelines for test automation (nice to have)
