Job Title: Senior Test Automation Engineer
About Us
We are at the forefront of developing a state-of-the-art digital weld operator for Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)applications. Our software solution runs on Linux (NixOS) and operates on both standard PC hardware and industrial PCs. The application is multi-threaded, C++- based, and incorporates performance-critical components, including advanced image recognition algorithms and adaptive steering for welding processes. It seamlessly integrates with Siemens PLC systems and is designed for cloud connectivity, enabling centralized operations and data offloading.
To ensure world-class product quality and a highly efficient development environment, we are building an advanced Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test automation system, where all software and electronics are fully integrated and tested prior to deployment in welding stations
