Automation Test Engineer

Automation Test Engineer

Trellis Ware launched in 2000 with an innovative culture striving to push technological boundaries in the area of wireless communications. We are now a worldwide leader in highly advanced algorithms, waveforms, and communications systems that range from small form factor radio products to fully integrated solutions.

At Trellis Ware, we connect passion with purpose and together we make an impact- on our careers, our company, and the world. And you can too. If you love to innovate and collaborate in a dynamic environment where boundaries are being pushed, you belong re the opportunity to serve is not a challenge but a gift. Where you're never going alone.

Because there's too much at stake to go solo.

Our Engineering Team is seeking an Automation Test Engineer (ATE). The ATE team leverages deep understanding of both hardware and software to design, implement, verify, and scale the complex infrastructure systems we use for cutting-edge radio development. You would be responsible for designing test cases in Trellis Ware's automation scripting environment and building advanced radio automated test systems. You'll develop tools and systems for data collection and visualization and perform data-driven analysis of system behavior.

Spend your days working on next generation self-networking hand-held radios for our Special Forces or help create new modem technologies for the toughest communication problems such as scalability, robustness, and maximizing throughput.

Enhancing cohesiveness and maintaining team morale is a responsibility of all our team members, as is the ambition for self-improvement and talent development. Through this dedication to unity and professional advancement, each team member is directly impacting the successful outcome of Trellis Ware's deliverables and setting the tone for our core values of delivering excellence, pushing boundaries, and empowering people.

The essential duties and responsibilities include:

• Design, maintain, and deploy an automated scripting environment and test sequencer.
• Create and document programming API's to facilitate the rapid development of automated tests.
• Create user interfaces that enable easy access to device capabilities.
• Develop, document, and execute automated test scripts that characterize key performance parameters.
• Perform detailed data analysis to diagnose and identify performance related issues.
• Contribute to process improvement and planning of the ATE Team.
• Support systems engineering of Trellis Ware proprietary technologies.
• Programming in , C#, and Python in a product development environment.
• Test infrastructure development to include programming API's, user interfaces, data collection, and data post processing.
• Operating and programming test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, radio emulators, network analyzers, RF switch matrixes, and multimeters.
• Automated test case design and execution.
• The process involved in generating a test plan from engineering designs and subsequently developing and supporting a system of software test code for units under test, including the development of a test database.

Education and work experience requirements are:

• BSEE, BSCE, BS Physics, or equivalent
• 1– 8 years' experience
• Experience with Mobile Ad-hoc Networked (MANET) radios and military communications is a plus.
• Experience developing embedded software using C/C++ on a Linux platform is a plus.

To be considered for this position, you would need to meet, at a minimum, the knowledge, skills, and abilities listed here:

• Knowledge of object-oriented design.
• Knowledge of device drivers.
• SW development skills with database and web experience.
• Knowledge of common embedded Linux development tools (i.e. compilers, linkers and debuggers) and Linux subsystems.
• Windows, Linux GUI and command line tools for software installation and diagnostics. Shell scripting or more advanced programming skills a plus.
• The OSI 7 layers model. Advanced knowledge of layers 1, 2, 3, & 4. Layers 5-7 desirable.
• Knowledge of RF technology, radio design, and RF test equipment.
• Hardware design skills and test fixture development using bed of nails a plus.
• Familiarity with IP networking.
• Familiarity with Raspberry PI setup, configuration, and integration.
• Familiarity with wireless telecommunications and cellular radio systems standards (FDMA,TDMA).
• You can think on your feet. You are analytical, pay attention to detail and are able to communicate your thought process both written and verbally.
• You thrive in a collaborative and team oriented environment.
• You have a curiosity to know how things work and passion to learn. You want to know why something fails to work and the initiative to fix it.
• You want to work as an experienced ATE Engineer in product and technology development programs focusing on SW/HW design integration, verification and validation. You will be spearheading design for testability (DfT) with HW and SW developers to ensure Trellis Ware products have advanced…
