Engineer, Test Engineering

The Hardware/Product Safety Test Engineer is responsible for planning, developing, executing, and automating test strategies to verify and validate electronic hardware designs. This role works closely with hardware design, firmware, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure products meet functional, performance, reliability, and regulatory requirements throughout the product lifecycle-from prototype through production release., Develop and execute comprehensive test plans for electronic hardware, including PCB assemblies, subsystems, and complete products

Design, build, and maintain hardware test setups, fixtures, and test equipment

Perform functional, electrical, performance, stress, and environmental testing

Debug and troubleshoot hardware failures at the component, board, and system levels

Collaborate with hardware design engineers to review schematics, layouts, and design changes from a testability and reliability perspective

Develop automated test scripts and tools to improve test coverage, repeatability, and efficiency

Document test procedures, results, failure analysis, and corrective actions

Support design verification (DVT), production validation (PVT), and manufacturing bring-up activities

Assist with regulatory, safety, and compliance testing (e.g., EMC/EMI, ESD, thermal, safety)

Provide feedback and recommendations to improve design robustness, manufacturability, and testability

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field

3+ years of experience testing electronic hardware (experience level may be adjusted)

Strong understanding of analog and digital circuits, power systems, and embedded hardware

Proficiency with common lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, signal generators, DMMs)
