  • Design and build production-grade test fixtures, harnesses, and instrumentation racks with integrated instruments (DMMs, oscilloscopes, power supplies, machine vision, etc.)
  • Develop automated test sequences in Python, LabVIEW, or TestStand with structured data capture and full traceability
  • Commission test stations on the floor, troubleshoot yield issues, and drive run-at-rate readiness
  • Partner cross-functionally with Design Engineering, Supplier Quality, and Operations on DFT, incoming drift, and usability
  • Apply MSA/Gauge R&R, SPC, and root cause analysis to defend test limits and drive continuous improvement

What they're looking for

  • Test engineering and ATE/EOL platform development (5+ years)
  • Python, LabVIEW, or TestStand automation frameworks
  • Electrical test and measurement fundamentals (accuracy, grounding, shielding, calibration, safety)
  • MSA/Gauge R&R, Cpk, SPC, and false reject analysis
  • High-current/high-power test experience with electronic loads and isolated measurement
  • MES/data pipeline integration (SQL, REST, MQTT, OPC-UA)
