Manufacturing Test Software Engineer, Advanced Sensing Systems
This role is built for an engineer who enjoys being close to the product and equally close to the code. You will help shape how sophisticated sensing hardware is tested, validated, and scaled into production. The focus is on manufacturing test software that ensures quality, reliability, and efficiency for complex electro optical systems used in real world applications.
You will work within a highly collaborative test and manufacturing engineering group, partnering closely with product development and operations teams. Your work will directly influence production readiness, yield, test coverage, and long term manufacturability of next generation LiDAR and sensing platforms.
