Job description

We are seeking a hands-on Senior Embedded Systems Test & Sustaining Engineer to lead the development and maintenance of automated production and repair test solutions. You will be the technical lead for our electronic systems, responsible for the full lifecycle of test-from designing fixtures and software to performing deep-dive board-level diagnostics. This is a "bench-heavy" role. We are looking for an engineer who thrives on digging into schematics, understanding complex embedded hardware, and building production-ready test systems from the ground up. You will bridge the gap between design intent and manufacturing reality, ensuring our products are reliably tested, validated, and sustained throughout their operational life., Test Development & Automation System Design: Design, develop, and deploy automated test systems for complex embedded electronic assemblies. Software Implementation: Create production and repair test software utilizing C/C++ and LabVIEW. Hardware Engineering: Develop custom test fixtures, adapters, and interface hardware required for product validation, including the implementation of JTAG and boundary scan solutions.

Hardware Debug & Diagnostics Root Cause Analysis: Troubleshoot embedded processor boards at the component level. Debug both analog and digital circuitry to resolve customer-reported failures and production bottlenecks. Systems Integration: Support the transition of products into production environments. Re-validate test capabilities and ensure that all systems are optimized for long-term reliability and maintainability.

Engineering Sustainment & Support Manufacturing Partnership: Provide technical support during production ramps and ongoing manufacturing operations. Drive improvements in test coverage, yield, and system uptime. Technical Consulting: Assist with product evaluations, obsolescence investigations, and technical feasibility studies to support internal engineering and business development initiatives.

Requirements

Education: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline. Experience Baseline: Minimum of five (5) years of hands-on experience in electronics hardware testing or sustaining engineering. Technical Mastery: oProgramming: Advanced proficiency in C/C++ and LabVIEW. oHardware: Ability to read/analyze schematics and debug embedded processor-based hardware. oDebug: Expertise in board-level/component-level troubleshooting of analog and digital circuits.

Preferred Attributes Strong organizational skills and the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional environment (Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing). Proven success in a role where you had to "recreate" or "reverse-engineer" testing processes where documentation was sparse or legacy. Self-starter attitude: Someone who enjoys the lab environment and takes pride in a "done right" engineering solution.
