Junior Software Developer (Contract)

As a Software Developer, you will help modernize our toolchain to be OS-agnostic, ensuring smooth execution across Linux, Windows (WSL2), and high-performance compute environments. This is a great opportunity to learn about cross-platform development, CI/CD automation, and developer experience (DX) while directly impacting how engineering teams build products. Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (recent graduates or 1-2 years of experience). Programming: Strong foundational skills in Python and/or C++. Environments: Comfortable working in both Linux and Windows command-line environments. Version Control & CI/CD: Familiarity with Git. Basic understanding of Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) concepts. Data Handling: Basic knowledge of configuration files and data structures (YAML, JSON). Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving mindset, eager to learn, and a passion for making tools that make other developers' lives easier. Familiarity with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Basic knowledge of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, SystemC, or hardware simulation workflows. Experience writing bash scripts or working with build automation tools. We are on a journey to create the best Infineon for everyone. We strive to create the best Infineon for everyone by embracing diversity and inclusion. We welcome applicants for who they are and offer a workplace built on trust, openness, respect and equal opportunity. Our hiring decisions are based on skills and experience. Even if you don't meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply. Please let your recruiter know if you need any accommodations during the interview process. Learn more about our various contact channels and about Diversity & Inclusion at Infineon. Tool Development: Write, maintain, and optimize backend code and command-line interfaces (CLI) using Python and C++ to simplify complex engineering setups. Cross-Platform Engineering: Help refactor legacy scripts to ensure they run flawlessly on both Windows (WSL2) and Linux environments by replacing hardcoded OS dependencies with dynamic environment variables. Data Interoperability: Work with data serialization formats (JSON, XML, YAML) to help standardize how different simulation tools communicate and pass data to one another automatically. CI/CD & Automation: Write automated validation scripts ("linters") that run in our Jenkins CI/CD pipelines to catch errors, enforce coding standards, and prevent bad code from breaking the platform. User Experience (DX): Improve internal tool usability by catching software exceptions and writing clear, human-readable error messages and "fix hints" for users. Testing & QA: Write unit tests and assist in running automated stress tests to ensure software packages install and perform correctly under various conditions.
