Job Title: Software Test EngineerJob Description

For the data collection tool development, the ideal developer would be fluent in Python / C / C++ (we use FreeSimpleGUI package and asyncio for the GUI) and have experience in Linux-based embedded devices (we use a series of shell scripts on-device to orchestrate data capture from various tools like mrecord, logcat, etc.). The effort is hands-on with hardware (flashing devices with various builds, testing scripts on-device to verify functionality, stress testing, etc.). There is a lot of trial-and-error involved, as we are dealing with early SW image builds that are not yet stable, so random device functions may break from build-to-build, or instabilities could arise. They would not need to develop from scratch, as they would be using our existing data collection tool as a baseline but adapting it to the new devices. Most of the heavy lifting would occur between device arrival and the DC kit prep stage for the respective studies, although some support may be needed to address issues in the field once DC has started. SW development focuses not just on the capability to capture our streams but also on robustness: we need to scale the tool to 30+ kits and >100 participants, so we need to ensure we do not get significant data drops or other issues. This is not a matter of writing some software and quickly testing a recording or two; they need to invest time in stress testing/reliability testing.
