Automated Test Engineer

Job Duties

Seeking an Automated Test Engineer who provides cost-effective engineering test solutions that enable reliable product development, verification, and production testing.

This position designs, fabricates, validates, and supports electrical test systems, fixtures, hardware, software, and controls for circuit boards, PCB assemblies, and electromechanical products.

Primary Responsibilities

• Provide engineering testing solutions that achieve required test capability at an affordable cost.

• Design and fabricate test equipment, test fixtures, control systems, instrumentation interfaces, and supporting hardware.

• Direct and coordinate engineering activities related to the development, procurement, installation, qualification, and calibration of instruments, equipment, and control devices used to test, record, and report data.

• Determine test conditions and establish the sequence and phases of test operations.

• Direct and control the operational, functional, and performance phases of testing.

• Develop or utilize computer software and hardware to conduct tests on electrical products and systems.

• Fabricate prototype components and test fixtures for development, production, and field testing.

• Analyze and interpret test data and prepare clear technical reports for engineering and management personnel.

• Work with scientific, engineering, manufacturing, and technical personnel to resolve product or system malfunctions, incomplete data, and data-interpretation issues.

• Validate that test software performs in accordance with established requirements and guidelines.

• Create Statements of Work, detailed design specifications, design requirement specifications, and design verification test protocols.

• Perform Design for Test (DFT) analysis on customer and internal designs and document recommendations to improve testability, coverage, reliability, and cost.

• Create mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and PCB layouts as required for test-system development.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on design improvements that support more reliable and manufacturable products.

• Provide test-engineering support to engineers, technicians, production personnel, and other support staff.

• Execute validation protocols and document results in accordance with internal procedures and customer requirements.

• Develop test proposals, quotes, estimated development effort, and projected production test cycle times.

• Follow all applicable ISO quality-system requirements, procedures, and documentation practices.

Minimum Education Required

• Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related engineering discipline. A university program certificate with directly relevant experience may be considered.

Minimum Experience Required

• Minimum 5+ years of experience in test engineering, test development, product development, hardware test, or manufacturing test.

• Demonstrated experience developing tests for electrical products, circuit boards, PCB assemblies, or electromechanical systems.

• Working knowledge of oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, and related laboratory equipment is required.

• Experience with Design of Experiments (DOE), FMEA, statistical methods, and manufacturing processes such as PCBA/SMT, machining, injection molding, sheet metal, and stampings is preferred.

• Knowledge of ISO, QSR, and FDA requirements is a plus.
