System Test Engineer

The Senior System Test Engineer is responsible for planning, developing, and executing system-level verification and validation activities for LiDAR products. The engineer will be responsible for translating system requirements into test strategies, designing and executing test plans, analyzing performance data, and driving issue resolution across hardware, firmware, optics, algorithms, and software teams.

The ideal candidate combines strong systems engineering fundamentals with hands-on test execution experience and a passion for solving complex technical problems. The engineer will work closely with cross-functional teams to identify issues, drive root-cause analysis, and ensure successful product development from concept through production release.

Your responsibilities:

• Develop system-level verification plans, test cases, and test procedures from product and system requirements.

• Define test strategies, acceptance criteria, and verification methods for functional, performance, environmental, reliability, and safety requirements.

• Execute verification and validation activities throughout EVT, DVT, and PVT phases.

• Maintain traceability between requirements, test cases, defects, and verification results.

• Develop automated test scripts, tools, and data analysis frameworks.

• Improve test efficiency, repeatability, and coverage.

• Support development and maintenance of system test stations and validation infrastructure.

• Analyze large data sets generated during system testing.

• Generate technical reports and present findings to engineering teams.

• Track performance metrics and verification status against program milestones.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline. Master’s degree preferred.

• 5+ years of experience in system test, integration, validation, or product verification. Experience validating complex electro-optical, embedded, or automotive systems.

• Strong understanding of:

• Systems engineering principles
• Verification and validation methodologies
• Root-cause analysis

• Requirements-based testing

• Hands-on experience with laboratory equipment including oscilloscopes, power supplies, DAQs, and environmental chambers.

• Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or similar scripting languages for automation and data analysis.
