What We're About
At BrewBird, we believe in building a sustainable future in coffee. We’re developing a technology platform to scale the $100 billion specialty coffee market, while working with top local and national roasters to bring the highest quality cup of coffee to every home and office. BrewBird is backed by some of the world’s best venture funds. We’re a passionate team of builders who use technology to craft elegant and delightful solutions to challenging real world problems.
What You'll Be Working On
As our first test automation engineer on the team, you will be architecting and building the hardware test infrastructure from the ground up. You will report to our VP of Engineering and work closely with the entire engineering team on product development from concept to mass production. If you’re excited about a greenfield environment where you get to build from scratch, then this is the opportunity for you!
This role will be based in the company’s headquarters, located in San Carlos, CA. We have flexibility built into the way we work, but you can expect this role to mostly take place in the office.
Responsibilities:
- Design, develop and implement robust test automation frameworks and infrastructure from the ground up, tailored to our specific hardware and software requirements.
- Own test automation systems, from initial prototype design through root-cause analysis in the field, working with cross functional teams to address failures and optimize for the future.
- Spearhead test automation at the board and system level, including End-of-line (EOL) and reliability testing our core product(s).
- Design test plans based on specifications and develop libraries/scripts to automate test station configuration and test suite execution.
- Conduct functional and electrical verification.
- Develop HW validation plans.
- Implement prototype and production tests for sensor firmware and hardware.
- Write C/C++/C# drivers with Python wrappers for all systems.
- Manage scope of work that includes actuators (motors, solenoids), sensors, power supplies and other devices.
- Create tools for accurate and detailed analysis of test data, optimizing for post-processing and visualization of data.
- Develop comprehensive documentation for test automation processes, frameworks, and results. Provide regular updates and reports to stakeholders on test progress, issues and metrics.
- Interface with testing laboratories and suppliers to ensure on-time and on-budget development.
- Debug and test manufacturing issues at production site(s) (travel needs will vary, but no more than 20% anticipated).
Qualifications:
- 8+ years of hands-on experience building hardware test infrastructure—you've done it before on multiple products.
- Deep familiarity with hardware test tools and technologies is required.
- Must have expert-level knowledge in Python and C/C++.
- Experience with embedded systems and hardware-software integration.
- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to effectively present highly technical information to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ability to be resourceful and work with exceptional dedication and initiative.
- Must possess a strong focus on detail, with the ability to thoroughly review and scrutinize work to identify and correct errors.
- Bonus: have a passion for complex systems!
Our Core Values:
- We operate with a spirit of generosity. We go the extra mile to act in ways that allow others to experience happiness, success and fulfillment - in big ways and small. We believe acting and communicating openly, honestly and generously is a virtuous cycle.
- We do the work that truly matters. There's so much we can do, and so we ruthlessly focus on the things that allow us to have the most impact. To us, results matter more than hours worked or time spent. We protect our time and are considerate of the time of others so that we can all be at our best in work and life.
- We believe in joining forces. We bring people with different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives together to accomplish far more than we ever could alone. When we don't know something, we ask. We believe in supporting each other and ultimately hold ourselves accountable to each person that makes up the BrewBird whole - our customers, roasting partners, employees and more.
- We prove bold ambition and integrity can co-exist. We're in it for the long haul. We set big, audacious goals - ones that make our hearts proud - and take the responsibility that comes with them seriously. We're honest with ourselves and others about where we are and what we're working on. We keep on keeping on with persistence and seek to master the art of resilience along the way.
- We cultivate joy, together. For us, coffee is ultimately about feeling good. And, we believe the best things in life are experienced together. We're motivated by genuine human interaction. Work and productivity have their time and important place, yet we're not 'nothing but business' kind of people. We believe in bringing people together to celebrate life's moments - big and small.
Salary: $160,000 - $190,000 a year
