  • Define End of Line test plans for new products and features in collaboration with engineering teams.
  • Determine test strategies to optimize product safety, reliability, risk mitigation, and production schedules.
  • Design and execute tests for PCBA and electrical system components including hands-on testing and rework.
  • Develop and implement next-generation test automation hardware systems for fast and repeatable testing.
  • Manage the purchasing, building, integration, and commissioning of functional testers.
  • Create automated test procedures ranging from individual component levels to full system levels.
  • Support board bring-up, bench validation, and manufacturing test yield improvements.
  • Provide feedback to design engineers on Design for Test (DFT) to improve product quality.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
  • 5+ years of hands-on electrical engineering experience designing functional test equipment.
  • 2+ years of experience in Schematic Capture and/or PCBA layout.
  • Experience with scripting languages such as C, C++, C#, Python, or MATLAB to develop automation.
  • Experience with communication bus protocols including USB, I2C, I2S, CSI, Ethernet, SPI, PCIe, HDMI, CAN, and serial comms.
