TL;DR · Manufacturing Test Engineer, Test Automation

Manufacturing Test Engineer, Test Automation will join the team developing next-generation autonomous underwater vehicles for seabed exploration. This role involves building high-fidelity automated test procedures at both component and system levels to ensure product reliability and manufacturing scalability. The engineer will develop a testing ecosystem to de-risk hardware, perform data-driven root cause analysis on electromechanical subsystems, and design semi-automated equipment for characterization and environmental testing. Key responsibilities include collaborating with design teams on risk assessments, managing technician training, and creating controlled processes for execution systems. Required skills include proficiency in Python, Matlab, or SHELL, along with experience in hardware communication protocols like USB, Ethernet, RS232, RS485, PCIe, HDMI, and CAN. The role focuses on solving complex engineering challenges within the subsea robotics domain by integrating electrical, mechanical, and software systems to ensure high-quality production standards.

What you'll do

  • Develop and implement automated test procedures for components and systems across the manufacturing value stream.
  • Manage a test ecosystem to de-risk hardware and ensure products meet reliability and design goals.
  • Perform data-driven root cause analysis on electromechanical subsystems using structured problem-solving methods.
  • Design and implement semi-automated testing equipment and protocols for subsystem characterization and environmental testing.
  • Create controlled test processes and documentation for use by the technician team in production systems.
  • Maintain testing logs, error codes, and troubleshooting logic to ensure fast issue resolution.
  • Collaborate with design teams to perform risk assessments and oversee technician training during product development.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent work experience.
  • Experience in hardware testing and automated test systems.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Matlab, SHELL, or others.
  • Experience with computer hardware communication protocols including USB, Ethernet, RS232, RS485, PCIe, HDMI, and CAN.
  • 3+ years of experience in a relevant field, preferably test design of electro-mechanical hardware in a manufacturing environment.
  • Experience developing full system test plans for fast-paced product development timelines.
  • Ability to prototype and run tests from experimental setup to hardware and software implementation.
  • Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance.
  • Experience in sub-sea robotics or AUV/UUV industries (preferred).
  • Familiarity with PLM, MES, and TES systems (preferred).
  • Experience testing and operating around hazardous systems like high voltage up to 400V (preferred).
  • Experience integrating electrical, mechanical, and software/firmware systems (preferred).
