Title: Software Development Engineer (Test Systems)
Location: Redmond, WA
Duration: 6+ Month Contract
Compensation: $65.00 – 70.00/hr.
Work Requirements: US Citizen, GC Holders or Authorized to Work in the U.S.

ABOUT THIS FEATURED OPPORTUNITY
This role supports the revival and modernization of a critical antenna test system used to validate a third-party antenna integrated into an existing platform. You'll be part of a tight-knit test and operations team responsible for bringing legacy systems back online, enabling reliable field testing, and ensuring high-quality test data feeds directly into engineering decisions.

What makes this opportunity unique is the blend of hands-on antenna testing and deep software ownership. You won't just write code — you'll see how it behaves in real-world conditions, work directly with field technicians, and own the feedback loop between testing, analysis, and system improvement. If you enjoy understanding how systems actually work end-to-end, this role offers visibility and impact that pure software roles don't.

THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU
In this role, you will act as the dedicated SDE supporting antenna testing efforts, splitting time evenly between software development and hands-on test execution.

What you'll do:
•     Own and maintain legacy and historical test software, primarily written in C++ and Python, running on Linux-based systems
•     Bring an existing, outdated antenna test system back online by learning legacy hardware, software, and test workflows
•     Integrate and validate a third-party test antenna within the existing system architecture
•     Partner closely with operations field technicians, including traveling in a test van to execute field tests when required
•     Support antenna testing in the field depending on test phase and requirements
•     Develop, update, and debug test scripts, automation, and data collection tools
•     Analyze test results and provide clear feedback to engineering stakeholders
•     Participate in overlapping field trips and collaborate cross-functionally to complete test objectives

Travel:
•     Willingness to travel 10–15%, to Austin, TX for field testing and system bring-up activities

KEY SUCCESS FACTORS
•     Strong experience with C++ and Python in a Linux environment
•     Experience supporting or modernizing legacy or outdated systems
•     Background in antenna testing, RF testing, or working closely with antenna/test engineers
•     Comfort working in a hybrid role that includes both software development and hands-on field testing

NICE TO HAVES
•     Prior experience as an Antenna Test Engineer or similar test-focused role
•     Familiarity with RF test equipment and antenna validation workflows
•     Experience working with third-party hardware integrations
•     Comfort working in mobile or non-traditional test environments (e.g., test vans, field setups)
