Electrical Integration & Test Engineer

ELECTRICAL INTEGRATION & TEST ENGINEER

Mesh Optical Technologies was founded on the belief that optical photons will be at the center of advanced technologies in the coming century. Making advanced technology ubiquitous means building at scale, and that’s exactly what we’re doing at Mesh.

We are seeking an Electrical Integration & Test Engineer to own the electrical integration of production equipment, test systems, and development lab infrastructure. You will get deeply familiar with the electrical design of our products and production systems and are expected to participate in every step of the integration process—from line bring-up and debug through production ramp and sustained operation.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the electrical integration of production equipment, test systems, and workstations across manufacturing lines and development labs

• Lead electrical bring-up, debug, and validation of new and modified production cells and test stations, resolving issues across power, signal, controls, and instrumentation boundaries

• Own end-of-line test systems and development lab test assets, including their electrical hardware, cabling, instrumentation interfaces, and long-term operational reliability

• Design, build, integrate, and maintain electrical test fixtures, cable assemblies, and hardware interfaces used for qualification, validation, and manufacturing

• Define and maintain electrical interfaces between tools, instruments, fixtures, and factory infrastructure, including power distribution, grounding, and signal routing

• Serve as front-line electrical engineering support for the production floor, troubleshooting electrical issues and driving rapid resolution

• Evaluate proposed designs for electrical integration feasibility, providing feedback on connector access, cable routing, test point placement, and debug accessibility

• Evaluate nonconformances and electrical failures to determine root cause and drive corrective action and system improvements

• Drive test readiness for new product introductions, revisions, and production ramps

• Interface with both engineers and technicians to optimize electrical integration, test, and automation workflows QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related engineering discipline

• 1+ years of hands-on experience in electrical integration, test, hardware debug, or manufacturing (internships, co-ops, and substantive project experience qualify)

• Experience with electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and system-level electrical documentation

• Hands-on experience with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, power supplies)

• Strong electrical debugging and troubleshooting skills

• Demonstrated engineering intuition, critical thinking, and comfort with ambiguity

• Willingness to work extended hours and weekends as needed PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Experience with optical, RF, or high-speed electrical test equipment (e.g., VNAs, BERTs, optical power meters, high-bandwidth oscilloscopes)

• Experience integrating or maintaining multi-station production test systems or factory automation equipment

• Experience designing electrical test fixtures, probe interfaces, or cable assemblies

• Familiarity with data acquisition systems, instrument control (GPIB, USB, Ethernet), or test automation frameworks

• Scripting or programming experience (e.g., Python, LabVIEW) for instrument control, data collection, or test automation

• Experience with PCB bring-up, board-level debug, or electrical validation workflows

• Familiarity with power distribution, grounding practices, and signal integrity in production environments

• Experience writing test plans, procedures, and providing go/no-go judgment and rationale

• Experience working in Linux environments

• Documentation and configuration management experience in a production environment COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

Pay range: Electrical Integration & Test Engineer: $115,000.00 - $140,000.00/per year

Title and base salary are determined on a case by case basis commensurate with experience and merit.

In addition to base salary, compensation for this role includes:

• Eligibility for long-term incentives including company stock options and discretionary bonuses awarded for exceptional achievements.
• Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental insurance with significant cost covered by the company for yourself and dependents.
• Paid parental leave and flexible PTO (3 weeks accrued vacation and 10 company holidays per year).
• 401(k) retirement plan access.
• Relocation assistance to sunny Los Angeles.
