DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE

The team consists of 5–6 software and firmware engineers working collaboratively on downhole

testing solution. We have a supportive, technical environment with frequent knowledge-sharing

and problem-solving. A typical day starts with a quick stand-up to align priorities, followed by work

on backlog items such as new features, improvements, or troubleshooting. Occasionally, the team

also runs non-regression test campaigns to maintain product stability. The new team member will

be coached by experienced engineers through internal documentation, one-on-one sessions, and

guided walkthroughs to help them quickly understand the architecture and best practices.

As a Software Engineer Apprentice, you will be part of the Downhole Testing software team. You

will assist the software team by writing unit tests for core parts of the software (supported by AI

tools) and by refactoring poorly testable code. Where appropriate, reduce unnecessary

dependencies to improve testability without changing existing behavior.

Your responsibilities will include:

· Understanding and maintaining existing code

· Increasing test coverage with unit tests

· Supporting the quality compliance

· Following the agile process
