Engineering Test Technician - Temporary
About the role
Digital Dynamics, Inc. is seeking a hands-on Temporary Engineering Test Technician to support our engineering teams with product verification, validation, troubleshooting, and test execution. This position will help reduce the amount of routine test work currently being performed by engineers, allowing engineers to focus on design, analysis, and complex technical problem-solving. This is not a production testing position. The role is focused on supporting engineering development activities, including testing prototypes, engineering builds, new product designs, design changes, and product issues under investigation. The ideal candidate is comfortable working with electronic and electromechanical equipment, following detailed test procedures, documenting results, and communicating unexpected findings to engineers. This is a temporary position intended to provide additional engineering test capacity based on current project and workload requirements. The duration and schedule of the assignment may be adjusted based on business needs.
Responsibilities
- Set up and execute engineering test procedures for prototypes, development units, engineering builds, and design changes.
- Perform functional, electrical, environmental, reliability, regression, and system-level testing as directed by engineering.
- Configure test equipment, fixtures, cables, hardware, software, and supporting instrumentation.
- Operate common electronic test equipment, such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, signal generators, and data-acquisition equipment.
- Record test conditions, configurations, measurements, observations, and results accurately.
- Identify and clearly document test failures, unexpected behavior, intermittent issues, and deviations from expected results.
- Assist engineers with troubleshooting by reproducing failures, collecting data, swapping components, and performing controlled test variations.
- Support the development, improvement, and verification of engineering test procedures and test fixtures.
- Maintain organized test logs, photographs, data files, configurations, and supporting documentation.
- Track test status and communicate progress, issues, and resource needs to the assigned engineer or manager.
- Handle prototypes, customer equipment, and engineering materials carefully and in accordance with applicable safety and ESD requirements.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organized engineering test environment.
- Perform other engineering test support activities as assigned.
