• Collaborate closely with Hardware, Production, and Quality Engineering teams to ensure test software aligns with manufacturing and product requirements
• Support test systems used for networking infrastructure and sensor‑based measurement products
• Interface with and control test instruments, ports, routers, switches, and gateways through software
• Troubleshoot and resolve software and system‑level issues across test hardware and applications
• Review electrical schematics and hardware documentation to ensure accurate software‑hardware integration
• Analyze test data, calibration results, and system outputs to improve reliability and performance
• Contribute to documentation, coding standards, and long‑term test software strategy
• Mentor and support junior engineers, contributing to team growth and succession planning
