Job Description

Develop and maintain data acquisition software for new Life Test SOPs and specialized early prototype test boards, including work in LabVIEW and Python.

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.
• This role requiring regular collaboration with hardware teams and lab equipment.

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
