Test Engineer - Electrical

Key Responsibilities

• Electrical Characterization & Debugging:
  • Perform electrical characterization of subsystems, including voltage/current measurements, signal integrity and timing analysis, and noise/grounding analysis.
  • Troubleshoot complex issues involving analog and digital electronics, power supplies, converters, motor drives, and communication interfaces (I²C, SPI, UART, CAN, Ethernet, USB).
• Hands‑On Lab Execution:
  • Own test execution in the lab, including bring‑up of new testers and subsystems, debug under schedule pressure, and support for design verification and troubleshooting activities.
  • Use lab equipment extensively, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, power analyzers, and environmental/stress testing setups (as applicable).
• Collaboration:
  • Work closely with design engineers (EE, ME, firmware, systems).
• Manufacturing Tester Development & Integration:
  • Design, build, and maintain subsystem characterization testers, including power distribution and protection, signal conditioning and measurement, and control/interlocks/safety circuits.
  • Develop custom test hardware including fixture schematics, wiring harnesses, and test jigs.
  • Integrate testers with mechanical fixtures, sensors, actuators, power electronics, embedded systems, and lab/production environments.

Required Qualifications

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 7–10 years of hands‑on electrical engineering experience, with the majority focused on test system or tester development and subsystem‑level electrical integration and characterization.
• Demonstrated experience designing, analyzing, and debugging analog and digital circuits, as well as power electronics and low‑voltage/high‑current systems.
• Demonstrated experience in complex electrical system design and integration.
• Strong analytical skill in circuit analysis and failure diagnostics.
• Strong logical reasoning and ability in root cause analysis and proactive corrective actions.
• Strong practical troubleshooting skills using lab instrumentation.
• Experience taking test systems from concept through build, bring‑up, and sustained support.
• Ability to work directly in the lab and drive issues to closure.
• Ability to clearly document designs, test results, and design changes.
• Understanding of design considerations for EMI/EMC, thermal management, and reliability.
• Experience in manufacturing support and DFM/DFT.
• Experience across the product development lifecycle is a plus.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.

Strongly Preferred

• Experience with digital, analog, and mixed‑signal circuits.
• Embedded subsystems.
• Motion control systems.
• Sensor and transducer technologies.
• Power distribution subsystems.
• Proficiency with communication protocols such as CAN, Ethernet, RS‑232, and RS‑485.
