Test Engineer

Responsibilities

• Serve as a technical subject matter expert for system-level testing across complex electro-mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems.
• Develop, implement, and maintain comprehensive test plans and procedures to ensure robust test coverage for all product requirements.
• Drive rigorous test methodologies and practices to validate product performance, reliability, and compliance with specifications.
• Plan and execute reliability validation activities, including the use of accelerated testing methods to identify potential failure modes.
• Collaborate closely with Systems, Software, Electrical, Mechanical, and Manufacturing teams to define test strategies and ensure testability of designs.
• Lead test activities independently from planning through execution, analysis, and reporting, ensuring timely completion of test programs.
• Use reliability tools such as DFMEA and FTA to identify, assess, and mitigate risks throughout the product lifecycle.
• Analyze test results, identify defects and trends, and work with cross-functional teams to drive corrective actions and defect prevention.
• Continuously improve test processes, tools, and methodologies to enhance efficiency, coverage, and product quality.
• Ensure that test equipment and setups are appropriate, calibrated, and configured to accurately simulate real-world operating conditions.
• Document test procedures, results, and findings clearly and thoroughly to support design validation, verification, and regulatory requirements.
• Support deployment and manufacturing activities by providing test expertise, troubleshooting issues, and contributing to production test strategies.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering from an ABET accredited institution.
• Minimum of 8 years of experience in test engineering, validation, or system verification roles.
• Proven experience testing complex electro-mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems.
• Hands-on experience with test equipment used for validating electro-mechanical and electrical systems.
• Experience applying reliability tools such as Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA).
• Experience using accelerated testing methods to evaluate product reliability and identify potential failure mechanisms.
• Ability to lead test activities independently and drive execution from concept through completion.
• Strong collaboration skills to work effectively with Systems, Software, Electrical, Mechanical, and Manufacturing teams.
• Ability to interpret technical requirements and translate them into structured test plans and procedures.
