You will own one or more scoped projects end to end, with mentor support, over the engagement. Candidate projects include:
What you'd do
- Automated test sequence development — Build and validate a test executive script (Python) to automate a manual test procedure on an active manufacturing line.
- Deliverable: working automation script, documentation, and before/after cycle-time comparison.
- Cloud data integration — Connect a local test station's data output to our cloud data pipeline, including basic authentication handling.
- Deliverable: functioning data pipeline plus a short writeup of the integration approach and security considerations.
- Debug tooling / triage support — Investigate a recurring test failure mode, root-cause it, and build a lightweight tool or dashboard to help operators triage similar issues faster. Deliverable: root-cause writeup and a working triage aid.
- Desktop application feature — Design and implement a discrete feature (Windows or Linux) for an existing test executive application, in coordination with end users.
- Deliverable: shipped feature, basic test coverage, and user feedback summary.
- CI/CD pipeline improvement — Identify a manual step in our test software deployment process and automate it. Deliverable: working CI/CD improvement plus documentation for handoff.
- Device communication scripting — Write and validate a script to communicate with a test fixture or instrument over a standard protocol (USB, Serial, CAN, etc.).
- Deliverable: working script and a short technical note on protocol behavior/edge cases.
- These projects are program-focused examples, not a limit on scope.

- Pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
