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
