- Work closely with Electrical, Mechanical, Firmware, and Software Engineering teams during the Design → Build → Test → Learn development cycle.
- Evaluate designs early and provide Design for Test (DFT) recommendations that improve product quality and manufacturing efficiency.
- Investigate failures using engineering judgment, identify root causes, and drive issues to closure using factual data.
- Support EVT, DVT, PVT, manufacturing validation, environmental qualification, and production test activities.
- Design efficient, scalable, and standardized test solutions that improve engineering productivity.
- Recommend and implement improvements to test processes, tools, automation, and documentation.
- Develop Python-based test automation to communicate with DUTs, control laboratory equipment, collect data, and generate reports.
- Prepare complete engineering documentation, including test strategies, procedures, fixture BOMs, software documentation, and validation reports.
- Support overseas contract manufacturers during product introduction and manufacturing.
- Mentor junior engineers and share technical knowledge across the organization.
Skills And Minimum Experience Required
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 2 to 5 years of experience in test engineering, product validation, manufacturing engineering, or related hardware development.

- Self-driven, curious, and proactive engineer who enjoys taking ownership of technical problems.
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with a systematic approach to root cause analysis.
- Strong Python programming skills for test automation using complex instrumentation.
- Experience developing automated test software and communicating with instruments and DUTs using TCP/IP, serial, USB, I²C, or similar interfaces.
- Experience with oscilloscopes, power supplies, DMMs, spectrum analyzers, or similar laboratory equipment.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Comfortable working across Electrical, Firmware, Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Software Engineering teams.
- Experience with AI-assisted software development and pair programming.
