Software Engineer Automation

We are currently seeking a Systems Software Engineer Validation Automation & AIto join our dynamic team inGeorgetown TX.

We are looking for a Systems Software Engineer Validation Automation & AI to help build the next generation of software quality validation infrastructure and intelligent engineering workflows for industrial control systems.

This role is intended for a software engineer who can operate across Linux-based control system platforms embedded device communication automated test frameworks and AI-enabled engineering systems. The primary focus is on developing scalable validation strategies test automation infrastructure and system-level verification for thermal and datacenter infrastructure control software platforms.

In addition to traditional validation and automation responsibilities this role will explore and implement practical agentic AI solutions to accelerate test development automate test generation and maintenance improve diagnostics and root-cause analysis expand engineering knowledge access and enhance overall engineering productivity. The ideal candidate will help define how AI agents can be leveraged throughout the software validation lifecyclefrom requirements analysis and test-case creation to regression testing failure investigation and continuous quality improvement.

You will contribute to software platforms used in critical thermal and infrastructure environments where reliability observability maintainability and technical rigor matter. Candidates should be comfortable working at the intersection of systems software validation engineering automation tooling and emerging AI technologies.

What kind of work will you be doing

• Design and implement software components and services in Python and C/C for Linux-based thermal and infrastructure platforms
• Develop modular software for embedded control systems including data acquisition diagnostics orchestration and device interaction
• Validate communication and integration layers using protocols such as Modbus RTU/TCP Redfish SNMP MQTT and similar field protocols
• Create internal tooling and engineering utilities for configuration deployment troubleshooting validation and system analysis
• Debug analyze and optimize system behavior across software communications devices and test infrastructure to identify and resolve quality issues
• Translate requirements interface specifications communication protocols and system documentation into automated validation workflows reusable test assets and machine-executable test procedures
• Establish validation strategies test architectures traceability practices and quality metrics that support reliable and maintainable software releases
• Write and maintain automation integration deployment and CI/CD tooling to support continuous validation and regression testing
• Evaluate and deploy AI agents capable of generating test cases creating validation artifacts analyzing failures identifying coverage gaps and assisting with root-cause analysis
• Contribute to software architecture decisions including modularity interface design service boundaries and long-term maintainability
• Produce and maintain high-quality technical documentation including module descriptions interface contracts workflow definitions and integration guidance
• Collaborate closely with product stakeholders to identify high-value software and AI automation use cases

What will make you successful

• Degree in a STEM field such as Computer Science Electronic Engineering Automation Physics or equivalent practical experience
• Strong software engineering skills in Python
• Good working knowledge of C/C in systems embedded or performance-sensitive environments
• Solid understanding of Linux systems command-line tooling process management networking basics and Bash scripting
• Experience building modular software components services or tooling with attention to maintainability and technical quality
• Experience with one or more communication technologies such as Modbus MQTT CANbus/CANopen serial protocols TCP/IP-based device integration or similar
• Experience with Docker containerized development environments or service-based deployment workflows
• Familiarity with CI/CD practices and version control workflows
• Ability to work across disciplines and deal with real-world engineering constraints incomplete information and integration complexity
• Fluent English written and spoken

Nice to Have

• Experience designing software that combines deterministic logic with AI-driven components in a robust and observable way
• Background in embedded Linux systems
• Familiarity with diagnostics observability system logging tracing or performance analysis tools
• Experience creating developer tooling internal platforms or technical productivity systems
• Familiarity with REST APIs WebSocket-based services or integration middleware
• Experience contributing to interface documentation technical platform specifications or reusable software standards
