Software Engineering Test Intern (Summer 2027)
Summary
Summer 2027 intern on Vertiv's Core Engineering team building automated firmware tests in Python for power management and monitoring products — writing API-level tests (Redfish, SNMP, Modbus, BACnet), integrating them into GitLab CI pipelines, and using Generative AI tools to accelerate test development.
- Develop and maintain automated test cases in Python that validate firmware functionality across network management protocols (Redfish, SNMP, Modbus, BACnet).
- Build and extend API-level test automation targeting Redfish/REST interfaces on embedded power and monitoring hardware.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI) to support continuous validation of firmware builds.
- Create and configure virtualized test environments for repeatable automated test execution.
- Develop test utilities, data parsers, and reporting scripts that support the broader test engineering team.
- Use Generative AI coding tools to accelerate test development and code review workflows.
- Learn and use Agile Development practices for test planning and execution.
- Stay current with trends in test automation and software engineering in test, continuously seeking opportunities to enhance your skills and apply new techniques.
- Must be pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- Coursework or project experience in Python or another scripting language.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Demonstrated work ethic and detail-orientation.
- Strong analytical and critical thinking skills.
- Ability and willingness to learn in a fast-paced environment and produce high-quality work.
- Collaboration and teamwork.
- Familiarity with version control (Git) is a plus.
- Exposure to REST APIs, CI/CD concepts, or Linux command-line environments is a plus.
