Hardware Validation & Automation Student

A leading Industrial AI company, Augury helps the world’s manufacturers leverage real-time production insights and data to drive new levels of efficiency. By combining predictive and prescriptive technology with operational data and customized AI agents, production teams can improve uptime, reduce costs, and maximize yield and capacity. Our mission is to transform how people and machines work together to push the boundaries of human productivity.

About the role

We’re looking for a Computer / Electrical engineering student to join our IoT Validation & Automation team.

You’ll help operate our hardware validation lab and grow into building the automation that powers end-to-end HW/FW testing across Augury’s IoT platforms.

You’ll work hands-on with real lab equipment, write and extend Python/Robot Framework tests, and collaborate with Hardware, Embedded Firmware, Linux, and System Engineering.

No prior industry experience is required - we care about strong fundamentals, curiosity, and the drive to learn in a real production lab.

What you’ll do

• Support IoT hardware test and validation: automated tests, diagnostic tooling, and lab processes.
• Help maintain lab infrastructure: test benches, measurement equipment, calibration workflows, and tools.
• Operate lab assets such as SpectraQuest rigs, magnetic Helmholtz coils, power analyzers, and RF chambers - with mentorship.
• Execute regression, stress, performance, and multi-revision hardware tests as part of the validation pipeline.
• Develop and maintain automated end-to-end test scripts (Python, Robot Framework).
• Contribute to lab automation software and pipelines (Python, Jenkins, Docker, Git).
• Work with automation infrastructure: APIs, SSH interfaces, databases, and CI/CD flows.
• Help validate gateways, sensors, mobile, connectivity, and HW/FW integration scenarios.
• Work with hardware, firmware, software, and system engineers on validation workflows.
• Write and improve lab procedures, validation notes, and equipment documentation.
• Support root-cause investigations and reliability improvements.

What you bring

• Currently studying Computer Engineering / Electrical Engineering.
• At least 3 semesters remaining before graduation.
• Comfortable working AI-native: uses AI coding/assistant tools as part of how you learn, write, and debug - while still owning the fundamentals.
• Solid software fundamentals: Python preferred (scripting / OOP coursework or personal projects).
• Coursework or strong interest in signal processing, sensors, or embedded/IoT systems.
• Comfort learning Linux/Unix, command-line tools, and SSH.
• Interest in networking and wireless concepts (Wi-Fi, BLE, cellular - classroom level is fine).
• Curiosity about physical hardware and lab work; willingness to learn electronic test equipment.
• Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and ability to work independently with guidance.
• No prior industry experience required.

Nice to have

• Academic lab experience (electronics, DSP, communications, or mechatronics labs).
• Familiarity with test automation ideas or frameworks (Robot Framework or similar).
• Knowledge of IoT-related protocols: BLE, MQTT, SSH.
• Personal projects involving hardware, Raspberry Pi/Arduino, sensors, or automation scripts.
• Any exposure to CI tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) or containers (Docker).

Technologies you’ll work with

Python, Robot Framework, Patrol, Jenkins, Docker, SSH, Git, Postman, MongoDB, Google Cloud Platform, Azure, logic analyzers, RF chambers, Helmholtz coils, spectra/vibration analyzers, power analyzers, and other electronic test equipment.

Benefits

• Hybrid student role in Haifa (~100 hours/month, 2 days in office + remote).
• Hands-on exposure to industrial IoT hardware and real validation infrastructure.
• Mentorship from experienced validation and automation engineers.
• Meaningful ownership of automation work that ships into CI and lab practice.
• A path to grow into advanced validation, automation, and systems roles.

To apply

Please include your CV, grades transcript, and a short note on relevant coursework, lab work, signal-processing/software projects, or personal automation projects.
