Infineon junior software developer hiring 2026 in Bengaluru
Infineon's Bengaluru team is rebuilding an engineering toolchain. The goal is for it to run the same way on Linux, on Windows through WSL2, and on high-performance compute machines. The Infineon junior software developer will write the Python and C++ tools, scripts and checks for this. The official title is Junior Software Developer (Contract). It is open to recent graduates and to candidates with one to two years of experience.
What the team is building
This is an internal developer tooling job. The users are Infineon's own engineering teams, and the goal is a toolchain that does not depend on one operating system.
WSL2 lets a Windows machine run a real Linux kernel, so Linux command-line tools work on a Windows laptop. Scripts written with Linux paths or Linux-only commands often break when someone runs them on Windows directly. That is why the listing talks about replacing hard-coded OS dependencies. It is the main problem the Infineon junior software developer will work on.
Much of the work involves simulation tools. Infineon wants these tools to pass data to each other on their own, in standard formats. It also wants users to see clear error messages when something breaks. The posting names three areas a new developer will learn here. They are cross-platform work, CI/CD automation and developer experience, often called DX.
Your tasks, as listed
- Write, maintain and speed up back-end code and command-line tools in Python and C++. These tools make complex engineering setups simpler to use.
- Refactor older scripts so they run on both Windows (WSL2) and Linux, replacing hard-coded OS dependencies with environment variables.
- Work with JSON, XML and YAML so that different simulation tools can exchange data in a standard way.
- Write validation scripts, also called linters, that run in Jenkins CI/CD pipelines. They catch errors, enforce coding standards and stop bad code from breaking the platform.
- Catch software exceptions and replace them with clear, readable error messages and fix hints for users.
- Write unit tests and help run automated stress tests that check whether software packages install and perform correctly.
Who qualifies
The Infineon junior software developer role needs a bachelor's or master's degree. The subject can be computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering or a related field. The experience line reads "recent graduates or 1-2 years of experience". So a recent graduate with no work experience can apply.
The core skills listed are:
- Strong basics in Python, C++ or both.
- Comfort with the command line on both Linux and Windows.
- Git, plus a basic understanding of CI/CD.
- Basic knowledge of config files and data formats such as YAML and JSON.
Infineon also wants someone who enjoys solving problems. The tools you build should make other developers' work easier.
B.E. and B.Tech graduates can browse more engineering openings, and M.Sc and M.Tech graduates can check jobs for postgraduate candidates on Classic Jobs.
Skills that will set you apart
The listing names three extras as a plus, not a requirement:
- Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
- Basic knowledge of electronic design automation (EDA) tools, SystemC or hardware simulation workflows.
- Writing bash scripts or using build automation tools.
To prepare for the Infineon junior software developer opening, build a small Python command-line tool. It should read a YAML or JSON config file. Make it run on Linux and on Windows without code changes. When the config is wrong, it should stop with a clear message. That one project covers the cross-platform work, the data formats and the DX part of the job.
For the CI/CD part, learn what a Jenkins pipeline stage does. Then see how a lint step can block a bad commit. The listing asks only for a basic understanding of CI/CD, so you do not need years of Jenkins experience.
On the C++ and Python side, revise how a program reads environment variables and how file paths differ between Windows and Linux. These are the exact problems the refactoring task describes. Also practise writing unit tests, since tests appear in the duties.
Contract terms and applying
The official title marks the Infineon junior software developer post as a contract role. The posting does not state the contract length, the salary or a last date. The job is based in Bengaluru.
Infineon has a second Bengaluru opening for fresh B.E. and B.Tech graduates who prefer embedded work: the Infineon young graduate trainee role in Bluetooth validation. The two jobs need different skills, so read both before you choose.
Apply on the official Infineon careers page for this role. Infineon says it encourages people to apply even if they do not meet every requirement. It also asks candidates to tell the recruiter if they need any accommodations during the interview process.
Applying for this job is free. If anyone asks you for money to process or speed up your application, it is a scam.
