SW Engineer

Position: SW Engineer

Location: Cupertino CA (Onsite)

Job type: Permanent Fulltime

Objective / Project Overview:

The Reliability Software team requires dedicated software engineering support for Display Life Test initiatives. This work involves developing and maintaining data acquisition software for Life Test Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and specialized early prototype test boards. Engineers will work across LabVIEW and Python with a strategic focus on converting legacy LabVIEW-based tools to Python. Additionally support is needed for adapting and modifying existing display measurement station software for reliability testing use cases including early prototype Life Test software support.

Engineers will interface with DAQ hardware to automate collection of electrical optical and environmental data from display life test fixtures. This work requires close collaboration with cross-functional hardware and test engineering teams to align software solutions with evolving requirements. Engineers will debug and troubleshoot software in-person and on-device in lab environments alongside reliability hardware. This work will be defined and guided by the Reliability Software team and Display Module Reliability team.
