Senior Electrical Test Engineer

Test Strategy & Execution

• Develop and own comprehensive test plans in accordance with the engineering design process (requirements → design → verification → validation → release).
• Translate system and subsystem requirements into structured verification matrices and executable test procedures.
• Lead electrical verification efforts at board, subsystem, and system levels.
• Design and execute functional, environmental, regression, reliability, and stress testing.
• Drive root cause analysis for electrical failures and implement corrective validation strategies.
• Ensure traceability between requirements, test cases, and results.

Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Development

• Design, build, and deploy automated test equipment for PCBAs, harnesses, power systems, and integrated assemblies.
• Develop automated test scripts and frameworks using tools such as Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, or similar.
• Create scalable test architectures to support engineering validation, production test, and field diagnostics.
• Specify instrumentation (oscilloscopes, DAQs, power supplies, loads, environmental chambers, etc.) and integrate into automated systems.
• Improve test throughput, repeatability, and data quality through automation and fixture design.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with electrical, mechanical, firmware, systems, and manufacturing engineers to ensure designs are testable and validated early.
• Participate in design reviews (DCR, PDR, CDR etc.) to advocate for testability and verification rigor.
• Collaborate with technicians to develop repeatable procedures and provide training where needed.
• Partner with manufacturing to transition engineering validation tests into production test processes.
• Support field troubleshooting and validation activities as required.

Process & Quality Leadership

• Establish best practices for test documentation, version control, data capture, and reporting.
• Drive continuous improvement in verification methodologies and lab infrastructure.
• Mentor junior engineers and technicians in structured test development and debugging techniques.
• Ensure compliance with relevant industry, safety, and regulatory standards.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (Master’s preferred).
• 7+ years of experience in electrical test engineering or hardware validation.
• Strong understanding of the engineering design lifecycle and formal verification processes.
• Hands-on experience developing automated test equipment and fixtures.
• Proficiency with electrical lab instrumentation and measurement techniques.
• Experience writing test automation software (Python, LabVIEW, C/C++, or similar).
• Strong troubleshooting skills across analog, digital, power, and mixed-signal systems.
• Experience working in cross-functional hardware development environments.

• Experience in robotics, autonomous systems, defense, maritime, or ruggedized platforms.
• Familiarity with high-voltage power systems and battery integration.
• Experience with EMI/EMC testing and environmental qualification.
• Knowledge of manufacturing test and DFM/DFT principles.
• Experience with requirements management tools and configuration control systems.
