About the Role

We are seeking a Controls Engineer with strong Python software development skills to design, build, and maintain automated test and control systems. This role involves writing production-quality Python applications to orchestrate instruments, acquire data, and validate product behavior. You will lead the transition from LabVIEW to a Python-first test development practice, augmented by AI coding tools.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop Python-based automated test executive (ATE) applications for production and validation environments
• Build and maintain instrument driver libraries for VISA, GPIB, TCP/IP, Modbus, NI-DAQmx, and CAN/LIN interfaces
• Architect data acquisition pipelines: signal conditioning, timestamped logging, and structured reporting
• Write operator-facing GUI applications using frameworks such as PySide6 or similar
• Lead LabVIEW-to-Python migration efforts: audit existing VIs, define equivalent Python architecture, and execute phased rewrites
• Evaluate and integrate AI-assisted development tools into the test software workflow
• Establish Python development standards, project templates, and onboarding guides for the controls team
• Author and maintain design specs, and developer manuals for software assets
• Manage code in Git with feature branches, code review, and CI pipelines
• Partner with firmware, mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing teams to define test requirements and ensure production-ready test station deployment
• Deploy and maintain test station software on production floor hardware

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in controls or software engineering, preferably in automotive applications
• Experience coding in Python and LabVIEW
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Familiarity with automotive sensor products, such as battery current sensors, steering angle sensors, and throttle position sensors
