Python Software Engineer - Ubuntu Hardware Certification Team Canonical
Position: Full-time
Location: Charlotte
Salary: Negotiable
Time zone: EMEA-aligned, with collaboration across the Americas and APAC
Canonical is hiring a Python Software Engineer to join the Certification team. The team builds the tools that verify whether a desktop, laptop, server or IoT device works properly, operating at the interface of hardware and software. The ideal candidate is a Python developer familiar with hardware.
The Certification team develops the tools needed to certify hardware as working with Ubuntu Core as well as Ubuntu Desktop and Server. We design hardware that can be used to probe devices independently, and frameworks for software tests that validate Ubuntu on that hardware. We work with silicon companies, OEMs, ODMs and Canonical teams to ensure a smooth, secure out-of-the-box Ubuntu experience, with success in this role leading to broader Ubuntu availability across devices.
This role offers an opportunity to impact Linux adoption across multiple device categories and industries. Canonical provides a fast-paced, learning-focused environment and opportunities for career development.
Role description
We seek a self-motivated software engineer with Python experience to work on test automation tools or Linux-based embedded hardware. This role enables new Linux-based hardware testing capabilities, scales hardware certification efforts, and broadens test coverage.
The role involves developing and maintaining Canonical's open-source certification tools, supporting hardware testing solutions, and automating existing processes. We pursue continuous process and tooling improvements as part of expanding the certification test suites to improve the Linux experience for users.
Key responsibilities
Maintain and develop new features for Python-based test automation tools like Checkbox, used by in-house teams and industry partners.
Invent new ways to enable remote, automated testing.
Help build software counterparts to in-house testing hardware to test device enablement (graphics, hotplug, Bluetooth, etc.).
Write functional and performance tests to support hardware enablement and protect against regressions.
Participate in meetings involving international travel 2-3 times per year.
Required Skills and Experience
Knowledge of Python programming language.
Quality-oriented, pragmatic approach to software design and implementation.
Interest in test automation methodologies.
Previous experience working with Ubuntu or other Linux distributions.
Ability to be productive in a globally distributed team.
Desired Skills and Experience
Passion for tinkering: you are a maker.
Experience working in an agile environment.
Hardware testing experience, e.g., in the IoT space.
Familiarity with the C programming language.
About Canonical
Canonical is a growing international software company that works with the open-source community to deliver Ubuntu. Our services help businesses reduce costs, improve efficiency and enhance security with Ubuntu.
We are committed to fostering a workplace free from discrimination. Diversity of experience, perspectives, and background create a better work environment and better products. Whatever your identity, we will give your application fair consideration.
