Electronics Test Engineer – Automated Hardware Validation
Your mission? Design, automate, and refine rigorous test ecosystems that expose hidden defects…long before customers ever see them. You will partner with design, firmware, and manufacturing teams to craft data-driven strategies that shorten development cycles while upholding aviation-grade quality standards.
Responsibilities
- Translate product requirements into measurable test specifications and pass/fail metrics.
- Architect modular test plans for mixed-signal boards, power electronics, RF subsystems, and high-speed interfaces.
- Build and debug custom fixtures incorporating boundary-scan, JTAG, and embedded diagnostics.
- Code robust test sequences in LabVIEW, Python, and TestStand—emphasizing reusability and version control.
- Integrate oscilloscopes, DMMs, spectrum analyzers, and power supplies into automated data capture.
- Perform environmental, vibration, and thermal-shock studies that reveal latent reliability risks.
- Analyse gigabytes of result data to uncover failure modes, root causes, and statistical trends.
- Drive Design-for-Testability (DFT) feedback loops with hardware and PCB layout engineers.
- Maintain factory test stations, calibrate measurement gear, and document validation evidence for regulators.
- Mentor junior technicians; promote a culture of first-time-pass craftsmanship.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, or Mechatronics Engineering.
- 4+ years developing automated test equipment for high-volume manufacturing.
- Proficiency with LabVIEW, TestStand, Python scripting, and revision control (Git, SVN).
- Hands-on expertise using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, and RF instruments up to 6 GHz.
- Solid grasp of analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit fundamentals.
- Proven record of failure analysis and corrective-action reporting.
- Fluent communication skills—turn complex anomalies into clear, concise narratives.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with automotive CAN, LIN, or aerospace ARINC protocols.
- Familiarity with ISO 17025 calibration and IPC-A-610 quality guidelines.
- Knowledge of statistical tools (JMP, Minitab) for Cp/Cpk and GR&R studies.
- Exposure to environmental stress screening and HALT/HASS methodologies.
- Master’s degree or PE license—an impressive bonus.
