Original job description

Job Title: Test EngineerJob DescriptionThe Test Engineer designs, develops, and supports cost-effective automated test solutions for electronic and electromechanical products in a manufacturing environment. This role owns the full lifecycle of automated test equipment and fixtures, from architecture and design through deployment, maintenance, and obsolescence, ensuring robust test coverage, efficient cycle times, and reliable product performance. The Test Engineer collaborates closely with cross-functional teams to improve testability, manufacturability, and quality, while leading technical projects and mentoring other engineers and technicians.

Responsibilities

Design and implement cost-effective automated test strategies that achieve documented coverage and cycle time targets for development, verification, and production testing.
Own the full lifecycle of automated test equipment, fixtures, instrumentation, controls, and product interfaces, including architecture, design, build, integration, qualification, calibration, deployment, maintenance, and obsolescence support.
Develop and maintain test software, sequences, drivers, and data acquisition interfaces using appropriate automated test platforms and programming languages.
Define detailed test requirements, methods, conditions, acceptance criteria, and sequences to support development, verification, and production test activities.
Troubleshoot product and test system failures, perform root cause and statistical analysis, and implement corrective actions that improve yield, reliability, coverage, and test time.
Analyze test data and communicate results, risks, and recommendations through clear technical reports, documentation, and project updates.
Perform Design for Test (DFT) reviews and collaborate with product teams to improve testability, diagnosability, manufacturability, and reliability of new and existing designs.
Create and maintain comprehensive test system documentation, including requirements, design descriptions, schematics, drawings, PCB layouts, procedures, verification protocols, reports, and controlled records.
Support production personnel and train users in the safe and effective operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance of automated test systems and fixtures.
Develop technical proposals, cost and resource estimates, and production test cycle time projections to support planning and continuous improvement initiatives.
Lead test-related projects, coordinate activities with suppliers and cross-functional teams, and provide technical guidance to ensure timely and successful implementation.
Mentor and coach less experienced engineers and technicians, sharing best practices and fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
Ensure compliance with applicable quality system, safety, and documentation requirements throughout test system development and support activities.

Essential Skills

Bachelors degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
Five or more years of experience developing and supporting automated test systems for electronic or electromechanical products in a manufacturing environment.
Proven experience integrating test software, instrumentation, fixtures, controls, and devices under test into cohesive automated test solutions.
Proficiency with an automated test platform such as NI LabVIEW and TestStand, CheckSum, or a comparable system.
Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language such as Python, C#, C/C++, or a similar language for test automation and data processing.
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and PCB layouts, select appropriate test equipment, and establish effective test methods and acceptance criteria.
Hands-on experience building, modifying, troubleshooting, and repairing test fixtures, prototype circuit boards, cables, connectors, and related hardware.
Experience using electronic instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, data acquisition systems, and communication interfaces.
Experience with test system verification and calibration, including development and execution of verification protocols and maintenance of calibration records.
Experience performing data analysis and root cause analysis to resolve test and product issues and drive improvements in test coverage and performance.
Experience creating and maintaining controlled engineering documentation for test systems, including requirements, procedures, and reports.
Demonstrated ability to lead technical work, manage priorities, communicate results clearly, and collaborate effectively with Engineering, Quality, Operations, suppliers, and customers.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience with CheckSum systems, NI hardware and software, or other production test platforms.
Experience with Design for Test (DFT), boundary scan, in-circuit test, functional test, firmware programming, or rack-mounted diagnostic systems.
Experience using electrical and mechanical design tools such as Altium, SolidWorks, or comparable software.
Experience applying Design of Experiments (DOE), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), measurement system analysis, and statistical methods to test development and manufacturing improvement.
Experience working within ISO 9001, FDA-regulated, aerospace, defense, or other structured quality system environments.
