Job Description

Keywords: Python, Robot Framework, Pytest

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong Python programming skills with experience in test automation and framework development.
• Hands-on experience with Robot Framework and Pytest, including keyword and tagging-based test design.
• Experience with QNX OS, Linux, and Android-based embedded systems.
• Solid understanding of hardware interfacing — USB, Serial, Ethernet, Audio, and Display interfaces.
• Experience integrating with CI/CD tools (preferably Git Lab runners) and test orchestration systems.
• Familiarity with virtualization technologies and cloud-based environments (e.g., AWS).
• Exposure to in-flight entertainment systems or similar embedded platforms (highly preferred).
• Experience with Jenkins, Git, Gerrit, and Docker containers (plus).
• Experience working with hardware–software integration tools, especially in aerospace or avionics systems.

• Develop and maintain Python-based test scripts and automation pipelines using Git Lab CI/CD runners.
• Interface with QNX hypervisor-based systems, Android VMs, and Linux management VMs for testing and validation.
• Perform hardware integration and testing on platforms such as ASB/QASB seat boxes and virtual headend systems.
• Support test execution across multiple environments — developer desktop, virtual racks (AWS), mini racks, and full physical racks.
• Assist in porting and adapting existing Robot Framework tests into Pytest suites within PAC infrastructure.
• Contribute to system-level testing (touchscreen simulation, audio/video interfaces, USB, Ethernet, Bluetooth).
• Provide technical recommendations for long-term scalability and framework evolution.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with fault injection testing and hardware simulation tools.
• Familiarity with GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) and IP-based peripheral communication.
• Understanding of test scheduling and orchestration frameworks.
• Background in aerospace, automotive, or infotainment domains.
