Test Engineer

Responsibilities

• Respond promptly to radio calls on the factory floor to troubleshoot and resolve test-related issues, with a primary focus on electrical problems such as cabling issues between computers and machinery and software delivery using the PSP system.
• Diagnose and repair low-voltage (24V) electrical systems using appropriate test equipment, including meters, to ensure reliable operation of manufacturing test setups.
• Read and interpret electrical schematics to build and repair wiring harnesses, typically involving 5–6 wire configurations, in accordance with provided prints and standards.
• Perform assigned secondary tasks, such as constructing additional wiring harnesses and completing small test-related projects, when not actively responding to radio calls.
• Use a personal computer to communicate via email and Microsoft Teams and to navigate basic software applications such as Word, Excel, and Outlook for documentation and reporting.
• Document issues, corrections, and test-related findings clearly and accurately to support continuous improvement of test processes and equipment reliability.
• Participate in occasional team meetings to provide detailed reports on recurring issues, corrective actions, and opportunities for process improvement.
• Manage multiple concurrent priorities by balancing immediate radio calls with ongoing assigned projects while tracking work progress and completion.
• Maintain a high level of attention to detail in all electrical and test-related tasks to prevent errors such as incorrect wire placement or misconfigured connections.
• Learn and apply company-specific schematics, test methods, and basic hydraulic and mechanical concepts to support effective troubleshooting on the production floor.
• Collaborate closely with test engineers, other First Responders, and union personnel to ensure smooth daily test operations across multiple product lines.
• Support rotating coverage needs as part of a small, specialized team that maintains test support for a 365-day factory operation.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of low-voltage (24V) electrical systems in a manufacturing or test environment.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics accurately and use them to build and repair wiring harnesses from prints.
• Proficiency in troubleshooting electrical systems using a meter and other basic test equipment.
• Hands-on experience constructing and repairing wiring harnesses, typically involving 5–6 wire setups.
• Basic computer proficiency, including the ability to learn and navigate proprietary software such as the PSP system after training.
• Comfort using common office software, including Word, Excel, Outlook, and Microsoft Teams, for communication and documentation.
• Exceptional attention to detail to avoid wiring errors, misconfigurations, and other test-related mistakes.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage and prioritize multiple tasks, including radio calls and assigned projects, while tracking progress effectively.
• Adaptability and willingness to learn company-specific schematics and basic hydraulic and mechanical concepts on an ongoing basis.
• Ability to perform effectively in a fast-paced, hands-on production environment with frequent new challenges.
