What we do
We are seeking a highly motivated and hands-on Senior Test Engineer (EE) to lead the development, deployment, and continuous improvement of manufacturing test solutions for complex electromechanical and robotic systems. This role is responsible for driving electrical test architecture, developing scalable manufacturing test fixtures, supporting PCBA and hardware design, and leading deployment activities across internal manufacturing sites and Contract Manufacturers (CMs).
The ideal candidate has strong experience in hardware design, electrical debugging, automation, and manufacturing support, along with proven leadership capabilities. This individual will lead technical projects, mentor junior engineers, collaborate cross-functionally with Hardware, Software, Manufacturing, and Operations teams, and drive test strategy from concept through production deployment.
Own end-to-end hardware bring-up activities including component selection, schematic reviews, layout reviews, soldering/rework, and board-level debugging.
Architect and develop scalable manufacturing test systems involving power distribution, relays, multiplexing, signal conditioning, DAQ systems, and measurement instrumentation.
Develop and maintain automated test software and frameworks (Python preferred) for instrument control, test execution, data logging, and production diagnostics.
Perform advanced electrical debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, power analyzers, and protocol analyzers to isolate board-level and system-level failures.
Lead manufacturing deployment and production support activities across internal sites and Contract Manufacturers (CMs), including troubleshooting, yield improvement, and failure analysis.
Analyze test data, production failures, and field issues to drive improvements in product reliability, test coverage, and manufacturing efficiency.
Collaborate closely with Electrical, Firmware, Software, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Engineering teams to resolve technical challenges and improve system performance.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives for test architecture, fixture reliability, automation, and operational efficiency.
Strong expertise in schematic capture, PCBA design, and hardware development using tools such as Altium, or equivalent.
Deep understanding of analog and digital circuit design including power electronics, signal integrity, grounding, EMI/noise considerations, and protection circuits.
Strong hands-on experience with electrical test instrumentation including oscilloscopes, DMMs, programmable power supplies, electronic loads, logic analyzers, and DAQ systems.
Experience designing and building manufacturing test fixtures involving relays, multiplexers, interface boards, and automated measurement systems.
Experience with communication protocols including CAN, UART, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, and related debugging tools.
Familiarity with data logging, database integration, test result analytics, and failure trend analysis.
