Sr Advanced Test Engineer
About the role
You will design, develop, validate, and continuously improve test systems and methodologies for pressure sensing products. This role supports new product introduction (NPI), sustaining engineering, and advanced technology development, ensuring product performance, quality, and reliability through robust test solutions. You will report directly to the Director of Engineering and work out of our Columbus, OH location.
Responsibilities
- Test Development & Automation
- Design and develop automated test systems for pressure sensors and related MEMS-based products
- Create hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and functional test setups for characterization and production support
- Develop and maintain test software (LabVIEW, Python, C/C++ or similar) for data acquisition and control
- Define test strategies across validation, characterization, and production phases
- Product Validation & Characterization
- Lead sensor characterization efforts, including:
- Pressure accuracy, hysteresis, and repeatability
- Thermal performance across wide temperature ranges
- Long-term drift and stability
- Analyze data to derive calibration algorithms and compensation models
- Lead sensor characterization efforts, including:
- Reliability & Environmental Testing
- Plan and execute environmental and reliability testing, such as:
- Temperature cycling
- Pressure cycling
- Humidity and vibration
- Support qualification testing (HALT/HASS, DFMEA validation)
- Plan and execute environmental and reliability testing, such as:
- Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with:
- Design Engineering (mechanical, electrical, MEMS)
- Manufacturing & Operations
- Quality & Supplier teams
- Support design for test (DFT) and design for manufacturability (DFM) initiatives
- Work closely with:
- Data Analysis & Reporting
- Perform statistical data analysis (SPC, GR&R, DOE)
- Generate detailed reports for design reviews, qualification, and customer deliverables
- Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions for test failures
- Production Support
- Transition test systems from development to manufacturing environments
- Support yield improvement, test time reduction, and cost optimization
- Troubleshoot production test issues and improve system robustness
Requirements
- You Must Have
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or related field
- 5+ years of experience in test engineering or sensor development
- Hands-on experience with pressure sensors, MEMS, or analog measurement systems
- We Value
- Master’s degree in engineering or related discipline
- Experience in pressure sensing technologies (piezoresistive, capacitive, etc.)
- Strong background in:
- Data acquisition systems
- Signal conditioning and instrumentation
- Proficiency in tools such as: LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB, or C/C++
- Familiarity with calibration techniques and sensor compensation algorithms
- Knowledge of Six Sigma / Lean methodologies (Green Belt or higher preferred)
