What will you do as a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)?
As an Software Development Engineer in Test, you operate at the intersection of software development and quality engineering. You design and build high-quality test infrastructure and automation in the same way developers build production systems. With your strong programming skills in C++and/or Python, you ensure software is testable, scalable,
and reliable by design. You work closely with software engineers on complex high-tech systems, contributing directly to codebases, test architecture, and continuous integration pipelines. Rather than only validating software, you actively shape how it is built and verified.
Your responsibilities as a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET):
Design, develop, and maintain test frameworks and automation tooling using C++ and/or Python
Contribute to production code and testability improvements in collaboration with software engineers
Develop automated tests across multiple levels (unit, integration, system) as part of the development process
Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines and test infrastructure to enable fast and reliable feedback
Drive testability, observability, and quality-by-design principles within development teams
Work on high-tech systems (embedded / hardware-software integration / di
