Bachelor's degree in electrical or computer engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
3+ years of relevant experience, ideally designing tests for electromechanical hardware in a manufacturing environment.
Experience with hardware testing and automated test systems.
Proficiency in programming using Python, MATLAB, shell, or similar languages.
Knowledge of communication protocols including USB, Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485, PCIe, HDMI, and CAN.
Experience with bench equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMMs, and programmable power supplies.
Experience with manufacturing test limits, common failure modes, and complex electromechanical systems.
Ability to write and run full system test plans on fast product development timelines.
Experience programming and testing a wide range of sensors, actuators, and electrical components.
Ability to prototype and run independent tests from setup through hardware and software.
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Subsea robotics or AUV/UUV experience, including in-water testing (preferred).
Experience with PLM, MES, Jama, and test execution systems (preferred).
Experience testing and working around high-voltage systems up to 400 V (preferred).
Experience with projects integrating electrical, mechanical, and software or firmware systems (preferred).
Experience owning projects with loose scope under technical and schedule pressure (preferred).
