We are hiring a: Software Test Development Engineer C++

Lędziny – onsite

About the role

• As a Software Test Development Engineer C++ at Watlow, you will design, develop, test, and implement software solutions for manufacturing test equipment, primarily using LabVIEW and C++. Your code will ensure our products are tested reliably and efficiently, enabling our plants to deliver high-quality solutions to customers around the world.

You will own the full lifecycle of your test software, from concept and architecture, through implementation, verification and validation, to documentation and handover. All solutions will be managed using Jira and GitHub, with documentation written to a level that allows other software engineers to understand, maintain, and further develop the code. In this global role, you will support both new development and existing test systems, working closely with teams on-site and across multiple Watlow locations. You will also contribute to continuous improvement, standardization of test platforms, and design for test initiatives. You will be expected to work independently, lead smaller projects or project workstreams, and help define strategies that shorten time to market.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, test and implement software for manufacturing test equipment using LabVIEW and C++, ensuring solutions are robust, maintainable, and fit for purpose.
• Create and maintain supporting documentation and procedures for all stages of test development (requirements, design, implementation, validation, release), enabling other engineers to work effectively with the code base.
• Manage code and work items using Jira and GitHub, including version control, branching, code reviews, and traceability from requirements to implementation and test.
• Support and troubleshoot existing test software and production issues, both locally and remotely, for multiple Watlow sites globally, providing timely resolution and clear communication to stakeholders.
• Collaborate with a global test engineering team to implement and sustain a standardized software system for test across all Watlow plants.
• Participate in Design for Test (DfT) reviews of products, giving input on testability, test coverage, and required interfaces between hardware and software.
