Device Automation Engineer III

Quality is not something someone does, it is something that an organization achieves when all members of the team work together and make it a priority.  At Lytx we believe in working together to create high value, quality products.  In your role as Device Automation Engineer III you will play a critical part in the success of our technology team driving innovation in simulation environments and software-defined test automation. You'll work closely with Firmware, QA, and Hardware Engineering teams to ensure our drivecams are tested with the highest fidelity and repeatability.

You'll Get To:

• Design and build simulation setups that replicate real-world field scenarios for MVAI-enabled drive cams, translating device behavior into reproducible, automated lab test environments.
• Develop Python/Bash scripts and test automation software for device monitoring, log collection, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) workflows.
• Integrate hardware lab setups with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI) and contribute to automation frameworks.
• Support IoT, camera, and telemetry device setups with reliable MQTT-based communication between devices and backend systems.
• Configure and troubleshoot networking (IP allocation, routing, switching) to ensure stable multi-device connectivity.

What You'll Need:

• Minimum 5 years of software testing in test automation
• Strong expertise in board-level debugging and building simulators for testing embedded devices
• Extensive experience with embedded Linux and MCU systems — firmware flashing, bootloader/debug log analysis, device recovery.
• Proficiency in Python and/or Bash scripting for automation and tooling.
• Experience integrating hardware labs with CI/CD pipelines and automated test frameworks.

Good to Have (the more, the better):

• Hands-on experience with simulation or emulation environments for camera, ADAS, or telematics devices.
• Familiarity with MVAI pipelines, computer vision model validation, or sensor data replay.
• Deep understanding of MQTT and IoT communication architecture for camera/telematics systems.
• Strong networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, routing, switching, DHCP).

You’re driven to succeed and so are we. At Lytx, our mission is to protect a world in motion, and we do it by building technology and partnerships that help keep people safe on the road. The way we work is guided by our shared values: Deliver for the customer, Responsibility in every outcome, Innovate with purpose, Velocity with excellence, and Elevate each other.
