Senior Electrical Test Engineer

About the Role

As a Senior Electrical Test Engineer at Endurance, you will own the test systems for our subsea electronics, including racks, fixtures, interface harnesses, automation software, and procedures. This is a design-ownership role where you'll partner with subsystem design engineers to validate systems across various environmental conditions. Your work will directly impact the reliability of our systems on the seafloor.

Responsibilities

• Own hardware test systems end-to-end: requirements, architecture, design, build, bring-up, documentation, and upkeep.
• Work with electrical REs to derive test requirements and provide design-for-test feedback.
• Design and build test racks, UUT fixtures, and interface harnesses.
• Write automated test software for instrument control, data acquisition, and report generation.
• Plan and execute development, qualification, and acceptance test campaigns.
• Troubleshoot failures, separate test-system faults from UUT faults, and drive root cause analysis.
• Build scalable test capabilities for production acceptance testing.
• Help define test standards, lab infrastructure, and supplier base.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related STEM discipline.
• 3+ years of experience in hardware/electronics test engineering or related fields.
• Hands-on experience with electronics test systems, lab equipment, and hardware interfaces.
• Ability to read schematics and debug electronics at the component level.
• Experience writing test plans, procedures, and reports.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
• Willingness to work onsite in Seattle and travel to deployment sites.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience testing hardware for subsea, marine, aerospace, or defense systems.
• Environmental qualification testing experience (pressure, thermal, vibration, shock).
• High-voltage and high-power electronics test experience.
• Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test and simulation experience.
• Understanding of metrology, measurement uncertainty, and calibration practices.

Benefits

• Health, Dental, and Vision insurance coverage.
• Flexible PTO and 12 paid company holidays.
• Global fieldwork opportunities in locations like Hawaii, Iceland, and Japan.
• Hands-on experience in sea trials and deployment operations.
• Company-sponsored recreational dive certification.
• Access to the company boat, free meals, and snacks.
