You'll write software that drives real lab equipment and devices under test, debug failures across the stack, and analyze large result sets to surface trends, outliers, and patterns for engineering stakeholders. This is not a web-application role. It's a mix of test automation engineering, hardware/lab interfacing, and data analysis. ## What You'll Do - Write clean, maintainable Python and own your work from design through delivery. - Build and maintain automated lab test software, including regression, characterization, and related tooling. - Clean, preprocess, and perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) on large test datasets to identify trends, outliers, and patterns. - Visualize results in Kibana (and similar tools) and summarize findings clearly for technical stakeholders. - Ingest and store results in Elasticsearch and relational databases, keeping the data path reliable end-to-end. - Debug test software, lab runs, and data pipelines when things go wrong. - Review code and document setup and results so others can reproduce your work. ## What You'll Need - 5+ years of experience in test automation, lab/hardware software, or data pipelines, with strong Python skills. (Application-only development experience is not sufficient for this role.) - Solid object-oriented programming (OOP) skills in Python. - Experience driving lab equipment and devices under test from software (e.g., gRPC, serial communication, or similar interfaces). - Experience with data analysis and visualization on complex, real-world datasets (logs, CSVs, datalogs). - Hands-on experience with Elasticsearch and Kibana against real data — ingestion, querying, and dashboard building. - Experience with relational databases (e.g., MySQL). - Proficiency with Git; experience with Perforce is a strong plus. - Comfort working in Linux environments, including managing long-running jobs on shared machines. - Clear written communication skills for working with technical stakeholders. ## Nice to Have - Experience with Jenkins or similar CI tools. - Ability to read C/C++ code, especially near firmware or hardware layers (C/C++ development not required). - Experience with pandas, NumPy, and/or matplotlib. - Familiarity with Docker and/or cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP). - Experience working in Agile environments. - Basic HTML/CSS/JavaScript for building reports (this is not a front-end role). Soft Skills - Self-Motivation: Highly self-motivated and capable of thriving both independently and within a collaborative team environment. - Communication: Excellent verbal/written communication and documentation skills, comfortable contributing to high-level architectural discussions. - Attention to Detail: Meticulous attention to detail, particularly when dealing with complex system architectures and safety-critical implementations. ## What We Offer - Pre-IPO Stock Options: Own a piece of our future success as we scale toward our public offering. - Technology Depth & Breadth: Unparalleled opportunities for technological growth and hands-on exposure across embedded, networking, and AI domains that are rare in larger organizations. - Rapid Career Growth: Significant, merit-based opportunities to advance your career as our company expands. - Cutting-Edge Tech Stack: Work with the latest advancements in networking, embedded systems, and predictive analytics. - World-Class Team: Collaborate daily with highly skilled, passionate, and supportive industry professionals. - Competitive Compensation: A strong base salary package that truly reflects your expertise and contributions. - Work Flexibility: Enjoy flexible working hours to maintain a healthy work-life balance. ## About Ethernovia, Inc. ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Ethernovia develops high-performance Ethernet networking and packet-processing silicon to serve as the real-time data backbone for physical AI systems, including autonomous vehicles, robotics, and industrial automation. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series B) - **Headquarters**: San Jose, California, USA - **Founded**: 2018 - **Founders**: Ramin Shirani (CEO), Roy Myers (SVP Engineering), Hossein Sederat (CTO), Darren Engelkemier (VP Silicon Engineering) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Semiconductor (networking chips), Autonomous Systems, Physical AI Infrastructure, Automotive - **Target customers**: OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in automotive, robotics, industrial automation, and medical imaging; enterprises building autonomous and intelligent machines - **Mission or purpose statement**: To unify perception, decision, and action through Ethernet-based deterministic networks, acting as the "nervous system for intelligent machines" [ethernovia.com] ## Products & Services - **Ethernet PHYs and Switches**: Automotive-grade silicon supporting compute, ECU consolidation, and driver-assistance systems in vehicles [cbinsights.com] - **HSB-Enabled Networking Board for NVIDIA Holoscan**: A platform providing deterministically low-latency, high-bandwidth sensor data transport over Ethernet for edge AI systems, enabling real-time AI perception, control, and inference [ethernovia.com] - **Physical AI Infrastructure**: Software-defined Ethernet backbones for robotics, autonomous systems, and AI/SoC fabric interconnects with deterministic performance guarantees [ethernovia.com] ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding raised is $154M; latest round was a $90M+ Series B completed in early 2026 [cbinsights.com] - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Porsche Automobil Holding, Qualcomm Ventures, Maverick Capital, Fall Line Capital, Socratic Partners, and 10+ additional investors [cbinsights.com].
