Job Summary

The team is seeking a Test Software Developer who will develop Windows-based test applications used to validate hardware in a manufacturing environment. The role is predominantly software-focused (about 70% software, 30% hardware) but requires enough hardware knowledge to understand schematics, communication protocols, and test instruments.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain C# / .NET Windows applications (Visual Studio) used for hardware testing.
• Communicate with hardware using COM ports, Ethernet, and various communication protocols.
• Understand and work with test instruments (e.g., voltage application, RF signal measurements).

• Work within an existing team to:
• Learn existing test sequences.
• Modify and improve current test cases.
• Develop new test cases for new product introductions.
• Work primarily onsite (hybrid schedule) and occasionally travel to Peterborough based on project needs.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong experience with C#, .NET Framework, and Windows application development.
• Understanding of hardware fundamentals, including:
• Electronics basics (analog/digital concepts)
• Communication interfaces and protocols
• Ability to read and interpret schematics
• Experience communicating with or controlling test instruments.
• 2–4 years of relevant experience, ideally in a manufacturing test environment.
• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s in Engineering or Computer Science.
• Ability to troubleshoot at the intersection of hardware and software.

Additional Notes

• Ideal candidates may come from companies like Celestica, Magna, or other manufacturing/testing environments.
• Travel:
• Occasional travel to Peterborough (dynamic schedule; could be up to 1–2 days at a time).
• A car/transportation is preferred due to limited transit options.
