• Exposure to data center, networking, or liquid-cooled hardware environments

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Design and develop automation and infrastructure tools using Python or Go
• Build and maintain backend services, APIs, databases, and UI tools supporting manufacturing test systems
• Enable remote control, orchestration, and monitoring of production test equipment
• Deploy and support applications within Linux-based environments
• Troubleshoot hardware and software issues discovered during manufacturing testing
• Integrate new equipment into automated test workflows
• Partner with engineering and manufacturing teams to improve test reliability and efficiency
• Maintain and enhance internal tooling supporting global manufacturing operations
• Analyze test data to improve product quality and manufacturing performance
• Provide ongoing technical support for production test infrastructure
