Job description
As a Senior Test Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for driving the industrialization and scaling of our proprietary, high-throughput automated testing systems. Acting as the lead systems integrator, you will serve as the critical bridge between the cross-functional R&D teams (Mechatronics, Electronics, Software) and the manufacturing floor. You will be at the forefront of bringing advanced healthcare solutions to market, making a tangible difference in people's lives worldwide. This position will be office-based in Bellaterra., * System-Level Integration & Commissioning: Assemble, debug and commission test platforms using R&D provided subsystems. Drive the physical integration of mechanical, electronic, and software components to deliver turnkey manufacturing tools and establish a continuous improvement feedback loop with R&D.
- Tech Transfer & Training: Lead the formal handover of test platforms to the production team. Create comprehensive SOPs and train test technicians/operators on how to run and troubleshoot the equipment.
- Equipment Validation: Execute rigorous IQ/OQ/PQ protocols for the test setups to ensure all automated manufacturing systems are calibrated, repeatable, trustworthy, and compliant before production use.
- Scale Aging & Reliability Protocols: Execute accelerated aging models and environmental stress testing requirements into executable, high-throughput automated manufacturing.
- Wafer-Level Test Industrialization: Support the software and electronic integration of automated wafer probers, optimizing die-level electrical characterization for speed, yield analysis, and volume production.
- Data Pipeline & MES Integration: Link data flow from hardware DAQs directly to the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and data warehouse.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, or a related field (a strong Electrical Engineering background is highly preferred).
- 5+ years of experience in Test Development, Manufacturing Engineering, or NPI (New Product Introduction), with hands-on experience building automated wafer probers or complex Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test rigs.
- NPI Track Record: Proven ability to take prototype test platforms out of R&D and successfully industrialize them for a production/manufacturing floor (including writing SOPs for operators).
- Basic understanding of scripting languages (e.g., Python, C#) specifically for hardware control, DAQ integration, and instrument automation (e.g., SCPI/VISA communication).
- Deep understanding of electrical characterization and signal integrity. Must be highly capable of debugging with oscilloscopes and SMUs, specifically for high-impedance or low-noise analog measurements.
- Demonstrated ability to physically integrate disparate electronic and mechanical subsystems into a cohesive, turnkey production tool.
- Proven ability to lead by influence across matrixed R&D teams (Software, Electronics, Mechatronics).
- Exceptional interpersonal skills required to bridge technical gaps between diverse engineering disciplines.
- Capable of proactively anticipating usability risks on the manufacturing floor and implementing robust, error-proof (poka-yoke) safeguards into system integrations.
- Highly systematic and objective approach to root-cause analysis.
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity within advanced R&D environments.
Nice to have (optional):
- Semiconductor & Wafer-Level Testing: Hands-on experience with automated wafer probers, high-throughput parametric testing, and die-level electrical characterization.
- Reliability & Environmental Testing: Practical knowledge of accelerated aging models, package hermeticity testing, leakage current failure modes, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS).
- Digital Manufacturing Integration: Proven track record of interfacing automated test hardware directly with MES or ERP architectures for real-time data logging and traceability.
- Neurotechnology & Mixed-Signal Electronics: Familiarity with high-channel-count analog front-ends (AFEs), custom ASICs, or complex neural electrophysiology signal chains.
- Data Pipeline Architecture: Understanding of SQL databases and automated data visualization tools (e.g., Grafana, PowerBI) to track manufacturing yield, Cpk, and test metrics.
- Regulatory Compliance: Working knowledge of Class III Medical Device testing standards and quality management systems (e.g., ISO 13485, IEC 60601-1, ISO 14708).
Benefits & conditions
- Collaborative environment where innovative ideas flourish and teamwork drives us forward. At INBRAIN, we believe the power of collective intelligence is unique. You will be part of a team that thrives on open communication, knowledge sharing, and mutual respect.

- Payflow & Flexflow
- Private Health Insurance
- Training bonus for professional development and access to Udemy platform
- 23 vacation days per year
- Christmas week off
- While we offer flexible working modality, because of the nature of this position, this will be an office-based position in Bellaterra.
Applications must be submitted in English.
