Canonical is hiring a Python Software Engineer to join the Certification team, who make tools to verify that a desktop, laptop, server or IoT device functions properly. We work at the interface of hardware and software, so the ideal candidate is a Python developer familiar with hardware. Role description
The Certification team develops tools needed to certify hardware as working with Ubuntu Core as well as Ubuntu Desktop and Server. We design hardware that can be used to probe devices independently, and frameworks for software tests that check every aspect of Ubuntu on that hardware. We design hardware and test frameworks to enable Linux-based hardware testing capabilities, scale up certification efforts, and improve test coverage. This role offers an opportunity to impact Linux adoption across device categories and industries. This team operates across EMEA time zones with colleagues in the Americas and APAC. We work together with silicon companies, OEMs, ODMs and teams within Canonical to ensure a smooth, secure out of the box Ubuntu experience, with success in this role leading to a great Ubuntu experience being offered on more and more devices. Responsibilities
Maintain and develop new features to our Python based test automation tools like Checkbox, used by both in-house teams and industry partners. Invent new ways to enable remote, automated testing. Help build the software counterpart to in-house designed testing hardware to help test device enablement (graphics, hotplug, bluetooth, etc). Write functional and performance tests to support hardware enablement and to protect from regressions. Participate in meetings involving international travel 2-3 times per year. Required Skills And Experience
Knowledge of Python programming language. Quality oriented, pragmatic approach to software design and implementation. Interest in test automation methodologies. Previous experience working with Ubuntu or other Linux distributions. Ability to be productive in a globally distributed team. Desired Skills And Experience
Passion for tinkering: you are a maker. Experience working in an agile environment. Hardware testing experience, for example in the IoT space. Familiarity with the C programming language. What is Canonical? Canonical is a growing international software company that works with the open-source community to deliver Ubuntu, "the world's best free software platform". Our services help businesses worldwide to reduce costs, improve efficiency and enhance security with Ubuntu. We are proud to foster a workplace free from discrimination. Diversity of experience, perspectives, and background create a better work environment and better products. Whatever your identity, we will give your application fair consideration. #J-18808-Ljbffr
