Epirus is a high-growth technology company dedicated to overcoming the asymmetric challenges inherent to the future of national security. Epirus' flagship product, Leonidas, is a software‑defined system built using intelligent power management techniques which allow power‑hungry systems to do more with less.

Epirus designs and manufactures novel RF systems in a rapid development environment. Fast and thorough hardware/software testing, from early R&D to production, is critical for rapidly delivering successful products. The Integration and Test Senior Software Engineer role focuses on developing and maintaining a level of excellence in Epirus's engineering lab, where we perform R&D of new design improvements, acceptance testing of newly manufactured modules, integration testing at the sub‑system and system levels, and ultimately chamber and field tests/demos.

Responsibilities include Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop testing, developing software to control lab equipment, working with other engineers to design new test fixtures, automating testing for various units/sub‑systems, organising data logging, performing first look data analysis, and designing scaling systems that support larger hardware/software teams. Candidates should be capable software engineers but should also have an interest in working hands‑on with hardware, both production hardware and lab equipment/instrumentation.

Success in this role powers the data‑driven decisions that enable Epirus's agile hardware development.

• Develop, test, and deploy HIL control software to validate hardware and software functionality across the Epirus product suite.
• Develop and maintain Epirus's software hardware abstraction libraries including but not limited to oscilloscopes, VNAs, signal generators, microphones, video capture devices, robotic measurement equipment.
• Scale production test software to allow increased production rates and meet evolving customer requirements.
• Drive architectural decisions and best practices.
• Lead capability/feature development of the HIL Software Infrastructure to enable all of Epirus software/QA to validate functionality.
• Develop user interfaces which enable technicians to run tests and troubleshoot failures.
• Coordinate with other engineers on designing and setting up new test fixtures, typically on lab benches or in RF chambers (also occasionally out in the field).
• Coordinate with hardware and software teams to develop Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop test platforms and procedures and automations.
• Work with other engineers to develop new test scripts/programs, maximizing code reuse for consistency of testing.
• Manage ever‑growing data logging and analysis, to power data‑driven decisions.
• Coordinate with Manufacturing team and train technicians on operation of test software for production testing.
• Coordinate with Test Hardware team on HIL design and HIL Software needs.
• Selection and onboarding new lab equipment/instrumentation, such as various sensors, DAQs, etc., to continually improve HIL capabilities.

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering or related.
• 5+ years of industry experience.
• Proficiency with Python and Git.
• Familiar with one of C++, Rust, C, Java.
• US Citizen (future U.S. security clearance may be required).

• Good written and oral communication skills; not afraid to speak up, either to ask for help or disagree on a technical point that warrants more discussion.
• Collaborative; capable of working across all levels of the organization.
• Eager to learn and to help others on the team.
• Organized; comfortable working in a fast‑paced, ever‑changing environment.
• Focused, with perspective on what matters most, rapidly delivering customer value.
• Experience with DAQs, Arduinos.
• Experience with continuous integration tools such as Jenkins or Git Hub Actions.
• Experience with Windows Power Shell and…
