• Testing and validating solutions on both prototype and live hardware environments
• Writing clean, maintainable, and well-structured code using best engineering practices
• Investigating and resolving performance or functionality issues during development and rollout
• Supporting the transition from experimental concepts to stable, scalable software solutions
• Creating automated tests, validation frameworks, and datasets to ensure accuracy and reliability

⚙️ Additional involvement

• Assisting with integration into lab equipment, measurement systems, and internal tools
• Contributing to documentation and sharing knowledge across the engineering team

🎯 What we’re looking for

Background & Experience:

• Degree (BSc or MSc) in Electronic Engineering, Physics, or a related field
• Strong hands-on experience with Python development
• A problem-solving mindset with the confidence to tackle technically complex challenges
• Exposure to RF measurement techniques or lab testing environments (advantageous)
• Familiarity with hardware interfacing and communication protocols
• Experience with real-time systems is beneficial
• Knowledge of RF systems, wireless technologies, or telecoms is a plus
