This is a hands-on, mid-level role: you'll take ownership of testing at the assembly and sub-assembly level, design and build the fixtures and rigs that make it possible, lead test activities both internal and external, and drive failure cases and customer returns to resolution. You'll be the person who turns designs into validated, trustworthy hardware. You'll collaborate closely with engineers across electrical, mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing, and with third-party test partners, supporting failure-mode analysis and risk mitigation on programs that serve both defense and commercial customers. What You'll Own * Test ownership - Take ownership of all engineering tests at the assembly and sub-assembly level. * Test documentation - Manage all documentation related to engineering tests. * Failure & return tracking - Track all engineering test failure cases and customer returns to resolution. * FMEA & risk - Support multidisciplinary teams in failure-mode analysis and risk mitigation. Tasks and Day to Day * Review customer requirements with cross-functional teams. * Support product specification design. * Provide engineering test requirement documents. * Provide engineering test plans. * Design, build, and validate all required test fixtures, testers, and test rigs. * Work with third parties on any external test activities. * Lead all engineering test activities, both internal and external. * Manage all test-related documentation, including test reports, failure-analysis reports, issue tracking, and failed-unit tracking. ## Related Videos - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [A Hitchhikers Guide to Container Security - Automotive Edition 2024](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1119-a-hitchhikers-guide-to-container-security-automotive-edition-2024) - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Software stack under and over the hood of the fastest accelerating car in the world](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/221-software-stack-under-and-over-the-hood-of-the-fastest-accelerating-car-in-the-world) - [Car's are Technology on Wheels - Impact of Software and IT Competence in Automotive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/780-car-s-are-technology-on-wheels-impact-of-software-and-it-competence-in-automotive) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Top Characteristics of a Software Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/166-top-characteristics-of-a-software-engineer)
