About the Role

Our client, a leading technology company in the RF, test, and measurement domain, is hiring a Python Programmer to support the development of a flexible, multi-user Python test framework for analog and digital measurement systems used in tactical radio environments.

This role focuses on building a modern Python-based framework that will coexist with an existing C# system, ensuring data consistency and long-term scalability across both automated and manual testing workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze an existing C#-based measurement and test system used for automated and manual RF testing.
• Design and develop a flexible Python test framework for system control and evaluation, running in parallel with the current production system.
• Migrate existing test cases from C# to Python while ensuring full data and test compatibility.
• Execute validation tests for both manual and automated workflows, considering upcoming system migrations (e.g. G5 / future platforms).
• Ensure data consistency between Python and C# environments.
• Define a framework architecture that allows short-term Python scripts to extend or override standard test sequences.
• Develop a multi-user concept, including access rights management and script approval processes.
• Collaborate closely with test equipment developers and software testers to establish a project-wide test framework.
• Produce comprehensive technical documentation, including interface descriptions, APIs, scripting functions, and GitLab repository documentation.

Required Qualifications

Education

• Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a comparable qualification.

Technical Skills

• Strong experience with Python (3.x).
• Hands-on experience with hardware control and test automation (e.g. serial, USB, measurement devices).
• Solid understanding of C# (reading, maintaining, and migrating existing code).
• Experience with inter-language/system communication (APIs, data formats, interfaces).
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and automated testing environments.
• Experience with modular software architectures.
• GUI development experience, ideally with PyQt or similar frameworks.

Additional Experience

• Writing and maintaining technical documentation, including API references and developer guides.
• Version control using Git and working within agile development environments.

Soft Skills

• Independent and structured working style.
• Strong problem-solving mindset.
• Comfortable working in cross-functional technical teams.

Why This Role

• Long-term project (up to 24 months) with high technical impact.
• Exposure to complex RF and tactical communication systems.
• Modern Python architecture work alongside legacy systems.
• Hybrid working model with flexibility.
• Munich-based role with a globally respected engineering environment.
