Test Automation Engineer – LabVIEW & Hardware ATE

Remotely
Full-time
IPC PLC DAQ Systems

You are a detail-oriented Test Automation Engineer who thrives on turning complex electromechanical designs into repeatable, data-rich validation cycles. Within the first 100 words, you will notice our primary keywords—Test Automation Engineer, Automated Test Equipment, LabVIEW, Python, and Hardware Test—woven naturally to boost search visibility. Join a multidisciplinary robotics and automation team that invents bespoke test solutions for life-critical medical devices, flight-ready avionics, electric drivetrains, and high-bandwidth telecom modules. Expect daily collaboration with electrical, mechanical, and firmware colleagues while steering the full life-cycle of automated test systems… from whiteboard sketches to production hand-off.


Responsibilities  

- Architect robust Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and electro-mechanical fixtures from concept through release.  

- Program test sequences with LabVIEW, TestStand, and Python—leveraging DAQ hardware from NI, Keysight, and custom PCBs.  

- Integrate PLC logic when high-throughput manufacturing lines demand deterministic control.  

- Capture high-frequency data, stream to structured databases, and visualize KPIs in real time.  

- Deconstruct schematics, pinpoint fault domains, and implement rapid root-cause loops.  

- Apply statistical analysis (GR&R, Cp/Cpk, ANOVA) to quantify process capability.  

- Generate clear, audit-ready reports for medical, aerospace, and automotive compliance.  

- Mentor junior engineers on test methodology, fixture safety, and coding standards.  


Requirements  

- 5+ years as a Test Automation Engineer or Hardware Test Engineer.  

- Expert proficiency with LabVIEW; CLD or CLED certification preferred yet not mandatory.  

- Proven Python skills (pytest, pandas, SCPI). C# exposure advantageous.  

- Hands-on experience designing electromechanical fixtures in CAD (SolidWorks or similar).  

- Deep knowledge of DAQ systems, signal conditioning, and sensor calibration.  

- Familiarity with PLC programming (Siemens, Allen-Bradley) for line automation.  

- Strong electronics troubleshooting—oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, boundary-scan.  

- Comfortable interpreting IPC, IEC 60601, DO-160, or ISO 13485 test standards.  

- Analytical mindset; you translate raw data into decisive actions.  

- Clear, succinct communication—written and verbal—geared toward cross-functional audiences.
