Digital
Control, Inc. is the world’s leading supplier of underground locating and
steering products for the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) industry.
Digital Control invented, and was first to market, innovative underground
guidance technology that allowed contractors to control the pitch angle of the
drill head tooling and measure its depth below ground. Since the introduction
of this revolutionary technology over 20 years ago, Digital Control has been at
the forefront of trenchless technologies that enable the efficient
distribution of underground utilities, fiber optic, telecom, gas, sewer and
water lines. Our products are used around the world by distribution contractors
and are valued for their durable design, ease of use and Digital Control’s
uncompromising commitment to customer service.
Our Kent, Washington headquarters is currently seeking a Software
Development Engineer in Test to join our innovative engineering team.
This individual
will be an intricate part of the development process, working and coding side
by side with software design engineers through the entire product
lifecycle.
As an
SDET you will design and write automation software, design and deploy complex
test suites and work with stakeholders to improve the quality of our
products. In addition, you’ll drive
testability and quality into our architectures and designs, deploy our beta
products, and establish and enforce engineering standards across the
organization.
We are
looking for individuals with strong coding experience in C/C++ and C#. College graduates with a strong
background in programming and desire to learn with good understanding of object-oriented
design, data structures and algorithms will be considered, however, they must
be able to quickly learn C++, C# and the subtleties of testing software through
training and on-the-job experience. The
applicant must be able to work independently with little supervision, yet know
when to ask questions and get help. Applicants must have a BS
in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering. Experience with embedded systems, device
drivers, networking, hardware and industry test and coding experience and
demonstrated feature ownership throughout the complete product lifecycle (test
collateral including test plans/specifications, test cases, automation,
simulator/test harness development) preferred.
Our SDET’s
write as much (or more) code as our product developers. SDET designs are as complex and challenging
as product designs. Automation code is
held to the same quality bar as product code.
SDET’s peers are software developers and they work as a team to get our
products delivered on schedule and with high quality.
