About the role
- This includes test automation frameworks, CI pipelines, aerosol science instruments, electromechanical fixtures, and the software that ties it all together.
- If you're equally comfortable writing a Python test harness and assembling a precision fixture, you'll fit right in.
- Team Snapshot - Small team, real ownership.
Responsibilities
- Work cross-functionally with Firmware, Product Design, Chemistry, and Regulatory teams to translate program needs into reliable, well-documented tooling.
- Design and develop test systems and automation tooling. This includes software frameworks, electromechanical fixtures, and instrumentation.
- Contribute to the team's CI/firmware testing infrastructure by developing modular, maintainable test platform components in close collaboration with the firmware engineering team.
- Consistently produce clear, thorough documentation that enables peers and stakeholders to self-serve and build on your work.
- Actively leverage AI coding assistants and LLMs as a first-order productivity multiplier for code generation, debugging, documentation, data analysis, and design iteration.
- The Internal Tools team builds the infrastructure that Juul's hardware and firmware programs run on.
- We're a small team of generalists who own projects from first principles to final handoff and work directly with the engineers who depend on what we build.
- Own projects end-to-end. Capture requirements and drive system architecture through fabrication, software integration, validation, and handoff to stakeholders.
- Within 6 months: Fully own and deliver at least one project from concept through deployment, with stakeholder sign-off.
- Small team, real ownership. You won't just be assigned a slice of someone else's project; you'll own yours from kickoff to deployment, with the trust and visibility that comes with it.
