The role

Astera Labs is looking for a hands-on software engineer to own and improve the internal platforms behind our manufacturing data, hardware test infrastructure, test automation, and failure analysis. This role brings together software, data, infrastructure, and hardware operations. It is central to helping engineering and manufacturing teams move quickly with reliable test data they can act on.

You will support systems that collect and organize test and manufacturing data from internal labs and manufacturing partners. You will also maintain test automation and failure-analysis tools, improve monitoring across services, and build practical tools that help engineers identify root causes faster. This role includes taking ownership of working systems already in place, making them more reliable and easier to maintain, and extending them to support new products, test flows, and manufacturing sites.

Why this role matters: Strong data and test infrastructure helps engineering teams find failures faster, improve product quality, reduce manual investigation, and scale operations without creating bottlenecks.

What you will do

New manufacturing and test data sources are added quickly and reliably.
Engineers can access trusted data without relying on specialized support.
Test automation and failure-analysis systems are stable, understandable, and maintainable.
Operational issues are detected early through effective dashboards and alerts.
Documentation and tooling are strong enough to support shared ownership across the team.

What you need

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a rated field
3+ years building and operating backend systems, data systems, developer infrastructure, or internal platforms
Strong Python skills, including production services, scripts, libraries, or automation tools
Experience with large-scale data processing and structured data pipelines
Practical understanding of changing data formats, data quality challenges, and production data collection
Experience with relational, analytical, or streaming data systems
Experience supporting CI/CD systems, Git-based workflows, Linux environments, and containerized or cloud-based services
Experience with monitoring and observability tools, and the ability to balance operations with longer-term engineering improvements

Nice to have

MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
Experience in semiconductors, hardware test, manufacturing test, or a similar engineering environment
Familiarity with production test data, yield analysis, or manufacturing diagnostics
Experience with public cloud services and secure external data exchange workflows
Experience with infrastructure automation and configuration management tools
Experience integrating collaboration and issue-tracking systems into automated workflows
Experience working with external vendors, labs, or manufacturing partners
Interest in AI-assisted failure analysis, debugging workflows, or internal knowledge tools
Strong interest in building durable internal platforms that scale with engineering and manufacturing needs

Salary range is $135,000 to $170,000 depending on experience, level, and business need. This role may be eligible for discretionary bonus, incentives and benefits.

We know that creativity and innovation happen more often when teams include diverse ideas, backgrounds, and experiences, and we actively encourage everyone with relevant experience to apply, including people of color, LGBTQ+ and non-binary people, veterans, parents, and individuals with disabilities.

Manufacturing and Test Data Platforms

Build, own, and improve data pipelines that collect, standardize, and organize manufacturing and test data.
Integrate data from multiple internal and external sources, including lab test systems and manufacturing partners.
Improve data quality, pipeline reliability, handling of changing formats, and visibility into pipeline health.
Add support for new products, data sources, and manufacturing partners with minimal manual effort.
Make the tools engineers use to access and analyze data faster and easier to use.

Test Automation and Failure Analysis

Maintain and improve automation systems that support hardware validation and production testing.
Keep build, test, and release workflows manageable, repeatable, and version controlled.
Operate and improve automated tools that process results, classify failures, and route issues to the right teams.
Reduce repetitive debugging through better classification, dashboards, and internal tooling.

Infrastructure, Reliability, and Monitoring

Operate services on Linux-based infrastructure using containers and cloud-hosted systems.
Support core platform services such as storage, scheduled jobs, and deployment automation.
Build and improve monitoring, alerting, and dashboards so issues are detected early.
Strengthen day-to-day operations with runbooks, alert tuning, and safer rollout practices.

Internal Tools and Cross-Functional Support

Support and extend shared telemetry and logging systems.
Build practical tools that help engineers explore logs, look up records, and diagnose failures faster.
Help build automated or AI-assisted debugging tools where they provide clear value.
Act as a technical point of contact for issues involving manufacturing data and test platforms.
Work closely with hardware, firmware, test, IT, and external partners to resolve system and data issues.
