Associate Test Engineer

About the role

We are seeking a highly capable Associate Test Engineer II to support the assembly, integration, calibration, and testing of precision electro-mechanical measurement systems in a manufacturing environment. This is a hands-on role intended for experienced technicians or degreed candidates who bring strong technical fundamentals and are continuing to grow into broader system-level ownership and leadership.

Responsibilities

• Perform hands-on assembly, integration, calibration, alignment, and final system testing of electro-mechanical subsystems and full systems.
• Execute and support development of system-level test procedures, including troubleshooting and resolving electrical, mechanical, and integrated system issues.
• Interpret and work from electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, wiring diagrams, and system specifications.
• Troubleshoot at the component, subsystem, and system level, and perform rework or adjustments as required.
• Utilize test and diagnostic equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMMs, sensors, and alignment/mechanical measurement tools.
• Work with and support test system software, including running automated test sequences, collecting data, and assisting with basic troubleshooting or feedback on test programs.
• Aid in developing and improving test methods, procedures, and documentation, particularly for new or evolving products.
• Support new product introduction (NPI) activities, including system bring-up, build improvements, and knowledge transfer into production.
• Provide informal technical guidance and training to peers and help drive best practices on the floor.
• Document results through clear test records, issue tracking, and technical feedback to engineering.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to resolve issues and improve product performance and manufacturability.

Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience in electrical and mechanical assembly, integration, and troubleshooting of complex systems.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot beyond basic issues, with growing capability in system-level diagnostics and root cause analysis.
• Familiarity with test system software or automated test environments (running test scripts, interpreting results, basic debugging support).
• Proficiency using test and measurement equipment (oscilloscopes, DMMs, sensors, motion systems, etc.).
• Ability to read and interpret technical documentation, including schematics, CAD drawings, and procedures.
• Skilled in using precision hand tools and measurement devices with strong attention to detail.
• Comfortable working in a cleanroom environment and adhering to strict quality standards.
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, with an analytical approach and attention to detail.
• Effective communicator with the ability to work across cross-functional teams.
• Self-directed, with the ability to handle routine work independently and take initiative on more complex assignments.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with precision measurement systems, motion control, or instrumentation equipment.
• Exposure to test automation, data acquisition systems, or control software.
• Experience supporting engineering builds or manufacturing transfers (NPI).
• Familiarity with continuous improvement practices (5S, structured problem solving, etc.).

Minimum Qualifications

• Technical degree (AS/BS in Electrical, Mechanical, or related field) and 3+ years of relevant experience.
