Test Technician

About the role

As a Test Technician, you’ll own validation at the hardware-software boundary for our MHE Vision platform, the system that turns warehouse forklifts into real-time inventory sensors. You’ll work in our Pittsburgh lab testing sensor integration, validating firmware and software releases, qualifying new compute hardware, and classifying defects across the full stack from physical device to application layer. Our MHEV platform is in production at customer sites and growing, so the quality work you do here has direct impact on systems running in the field.

Requirements

• 2 to 4 years of hands-on experience in a hardware test, lab, or technician role in robotics, drones, automotive, industrial automation, consumer electronics, or a similar field
• Genuine experience at the hardware-software boundary, not purely software QA and not purely hardware bench work
• Comfort with embedded device testing: flashing firmware, boot and connectivity verification, functional validation, and regression testing on physical devices
• Hands-on lab skills including wiring, crimping, schematic reading, multimeter use, and comfort assembling and maintaining test rigs
• Linux command line and basic networking including SSH, ping, and IP configuration, as well as the ability to inspect live data streams and replay recorded device logs
• Average of 2 to 4 years of relevant experience

Qualifications

• Associate’s degree in a technical field, technical trade certification, military electronics or avionics background, or equivalent hands-on experience
• A Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Mechatronics is a plus

Skills

• Experience with embedded compute platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson or ARM-based boards, or familiarity with communication protocols including UART, SPI, I2C, USB, or Ethernet
• Exposure to evaluating or qualifying new hardware platforms against a reference implementation
• Familiarity with ROS or similar robotics middleware, or experience with computer vision and perception pipelines
• Comfort reading and running existing test scripts in Python or another language
