Quality is not something someone does, it is something that an organization achieves when all members of the team work together and make it a priority. At Lytx we believe in working together to create high value, quality products. In your role as Device Automation Engineer III you will play a critical part in the success of our technology team driving innovation in simulation environments and software-defined test automation. You'll work closely with Firmware, QA, and Hardware Engineering teams to ensure our drivecams are tested with the highest fidelity and repeatability.
You'll Get To:
- Design and build simulation setups that replicate real-world field scenarios for MVAI-enabled drive cams, translating device behavior into reproducible, automated lab test environments.
- Develop Python/Bash scripts and test automation software for device monitoring, log collection, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) workflows.
- Integrate hardware lab setups with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI) and contribute to automation frameworks.
- Support IoT, camera,
and telemetry device setups with reliable MQTT-based communication between devices and backend systems.
- Configure and troubleshoot networking (IP allocation, routing, switching) to ensure reliable multi-device connectivity.
What You'll Need:
- Minimum 5 years of software testing in test automation
- Strong expertise in board-level debugging and building simulators for testing embedded devices
- Extensive experience with embedded Linux and MCU systems firmware flashing, bootloader/debug log analysis, device recovery.
- Proficiency in Python and/or Bash scripting for automation and tooling.
- Experience integrating hardware labs with CI/CD pipelines and automated test frameworks.
Good to Have (the more, the better):
- Hands-on experience with simulation or emulation environments for camera, ADAS, or telematics devices.
- Familiarity with MVAI pipelines, computer vision model validation, or sensor data replay.
- Deep understanding of MQTT and IoT communication architecture for camera/telematics systems.
- Strong networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, routing, switching, DHCP).
