System Validation Engineer developing robust automation frameworks for RFID system validation at Impinj. Collaborating with test engineers to ensure reliable execution of system-level tests.
Responsibilities
Design and develop architectures for robust test automation frameworks for RFID system validation, focusing on scalability, maintainability, and performance.
Implement Python-based interfaces to control and communicate with RFID readers to enable test execution, diagnostics, and data collection.
Integrate test hardware (e.g., signal generators, spectrum analyzers, emulated tags) into the automation framework for fully automated execution and data acquisition.
Develop and optimize system performance test scripts based on engineering specifications, enabling data logging, system validation, and post-test analysis.
Implement and manage relational database systems (e.g., SQL) to organize and store test results; develop automated data pipelines for ingestion, processing, and aggregation of large-scale datasets.
Troubleshoot and debug complex system-level issues involving interactions between RFID hardware, automation software, and test environments, ensuring compliance with product requirements.
