About the role

We are seeking an ATE Software Test Engineer to own the development, deployment, and continuous improvement of automated End-of-Line (EOL) test software for audio amplifiers and electronic systems. This role is distinct from product validation engineering, focusing specifically on production EOL test readiness, execution, and sustainment.

Responsibilities

  • EOL Test Software Development
    • Develop and maintain automated EOL test sequences using LabVIEW-based test executive frameworks.
    • Translate product test specifications, DFMEA outputs, and validation requirements into executable test scripts.
    • Implement modular, scalable, and reusable software architectures across multiple product platforms.
    • Ensure all test software is version controlled, traceable, and production-ready.
  • System Integration & Automation
    • Integrate test software with DAQ systems, DMMs, power supplies, and communication interfaces including CAN, CAN-FD, BLE, and A2B.
    • Develop custom integrations using Python, C, or other APIs for third-party tools and hardware.
    • Support standardized communication interfaces through common system connectors and abstraction layers.
  • Database & Data Analytics
    • Interface test systems with cloud-synced Oracle databases for test sequences, limits, and results storage.
    • Develop data analytics tools to monitor first pass yield, limit drift, and failure trends.
    • Ensure data integrity, traceability, and audit readiness of all production test records.
  • Production Deployment & Support
    • Release, deploy, and maintain test software across overseas manufacturing partners.
    • Support on-site test engineers and technicians during DV, PPAP, and ramp phases.
    • Troubleshoot test software failures and implement corrective actions.
  • Governance, Controls & Compliance
    • Enforce strict operator controls preventing unauthorized changes.
    • Ensure pass/fail integrity is maintained across all test sequences and results.
    • Ensure all EOL test processes meet internal quality standards and customer expectations.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or related field.
  • 3–7 years of experience in automated test development or production test systems.
  • Strong experience with National Instruments LabVIEW.
  • Experience integrating hardware using DAQ systems and test instrumentation.
  • Proficiency in Python, C, or similar programming languages.
  • Experience with database systems, preferably Oracle as well as SQL.
  • Strong understanding of production test concepts, yield, and statistical analysis.
  • Demonstrated ability to diagnose failures and perform root cause analysis.
  • Strong documentation and version control discipline.

Qualifications

  • Preferred qualifications include experience with automotive communication protocols including CAN, CAN-FD, A2B, and BLE.
  • Familiarity with manufacturing test system deployment at CM/ODM partners.
  • Experience with audio product testing or electronics manufacturing.
  • Exposure to DFMEA, PPAP, and quality systems.
