Job description
At Cyberus Technology, we build and operate automated test systems on real hardware for internal use and customer solutions. Our focus is on making on-hardware tests reliable, deterministic, and operable at scale.

This ownership is firmly focused on stability and reliability, and the role involves significant hands-on software development , primarily in Rust, to continuously improve operability, observability, and automation. You will work as part of a small, highly practical team where building and operating the system go hand in hand.

Operate, maintain, and continuously improve a bare-metal Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test infrastructure
