Python Software Engineer - Ubuntu Hardware Certification Team
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Python Software Engineer - Ubuntu Hardware Certification Team based in United Kingdom.
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and hardware validation, contributing directly to the reliability of Linux-based devices across desktops, servers, and IoT systems. You will help build and evolve the tooling that certifies hardware compatibility with modern Ubuntu-based environments used globally. The work focuses on improving automated testing frameworks, expanding hardware coverage, and ensuring a seamless out-of-the-box experience for end users. You will collaborate with globally distributed engineering teams and external hardware partners, including OEMs and silicon vendors. This is a highly impactful role where your work directly influences the quality and adoption of Linux across industries. The environment is open-source driven, fast-moving, and deeply technical, with a strong emphasis on quality and engineering rigor.
Accountabilities
- Develop and maintain Python-based test automation frameworks, including tools such as Checkbox, ensuring reliable hardware certification workflows across devices and platforms.
- Design and implement automated and remote hardware testing solutions that improve scalability, coverage, and efficiency of certification processes.
- Build and enhance software interfaces that interact with in-house testing hardware, enabling validation of key device features such as graphics, Bluetooth, and hotplug capabilities.
- Create functional, integration, and performance tests to ensure hardware compatibility, prevent regressions, and improve overall system stability.
- Collaborate with global engineering teams, silicon vendors, and OEM/ODM partners to ensure smooth hardware enablement on Ubuntu-based systems.
- Continuously improve tooling, processes, and test infrastructure to support expanding certification needs and higher quality standards.
