Electrical Test Engineer

Test Plan Development & Execution

• Develop and execute structured test plans in accordance with the engineering design process (requirements → design → verification → validation).
• Translate system and subsystem requirements into test cases and procedures.
• Perform electrical verification testing at board, subsystem, and system levels.
• Execute functional, regression, environmental, and reliability testing.
• Document test procedures, results, and deviations clearly and accurately.
• Support root cause analysis and troubleshooting of electrical failures.

Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Development

• Assist in the design, build, and maintenance of automated test equipment for PCBAs, harnesses, power systems, and integrated assemblies.
• Develop and maintain automated test scripts using Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, or similar tools.
• Integrate lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, DAQs, power supplies, loads, etc.) into automated test systems.
• Design and support development of test fixtures to improve repeatability and efficiency.
• Contribute to improvements in test automation, data collection, and reporting.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with electrical, mechanical, firmware, systems, and manufacturing engineers to ensure designs are testable and properly validated.
• Participate in design reviews and provide input on testability and verification coverage.
• Collaborate with technicians to execute testing and refine procedures.
• Support the transition of engineering validation tests into production environments when needed.
• Assist with troubleshooting and validation of fielded hardware.

Process & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain accurate and organized test documentation and version control.
• Contribute to lab infrastructure improvements and best practices.
• Support continuous improvement of test methodologies and data analysis approaches.
• Ensure compliance with relevant safety and quality standards.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 3–6 years of experience in electrical test engineering, hardware validation, or related role.
• Working knowledge of the engineering design lifecycle and verification processes.
• Experience using electrical lab instrumentation and measurement techniques.
• Experience developing or maintaining automated test scripts (Python, LabVIEW, or similar).
• Strong troubleshooting skills across analog, digital, and power electronics systems.
• Ability to work effectively in cross-functional engineering environments.

• Experience in robotics, autonomous systems, defense, maritime, or ruggedized hardware.
• Familiarity with power systems, battery systems, or embedded hardware.
• Exposure to manufacturing test or DFM/DFT principles.
• Experience with requirements traceability and structured test documentation.
• Experience working in fast-paced product development environments.
