We are looking for a talented and motivated engineer to join our team in Tucson, AZ. This unique, dual-focus role is critical to our success, blending hands-on test development with direct customer and product support. You will not only ensure our products meet the highest standards of quality but also become a key technical resource for the products you help bring to life. Our collaborative environment and on-site manufacturing facility mean you see the immediate impact of your work, from initial design to production and customer implementation. How You'll Make an Impact This is a dynamic role with two core functions: 1. Advanced Test System Development: * Develop Robust Test Solutions: Take the lead in designing, building, and deploying automated test systems for our diverse portfolio of analog and mixed-signal products. This includes everything from PCB-level fixture design to complete system integration with custom enclosures and safety interlocks. * Create Intelligent Test Software: Write and maintain sophisticated test software using LabVIEW, Python, or C#/C++. Your code will manage instrument control, implement complex test sequences, communicate with devices via SPI, I2C, and UART, and handle comprehensive data logging to our databases. * Drive Innovation: Be the test engineering lead for next-generation products, ensuring our testing capabilities evolve with our cutting-edge analog and data acquisition technology. * Enhance Existing Systems: Continuously improve and maintain current test hardware and software across all manufacturing lines to maximize uptime, precision, and efficiency. 2. Product and Customer Application Support: * Become the Product Expert: Develop a deep technical understanding of Dataforth's entire product line, from our SCM5B signal conditioning modules to the MAQ20 data acquisition system. * Provide Tier-3 Technical Support: Serve as the go-to engineering expert for complex customer issues escalated by our support team. Troubleshoot applications, analyze data, and help customers successfully integrate our products into critical industrial and SCADA systems. * Collaborate for Quality: Work closely with design engineering to identify the root cause of product issues found in production or by customers and contribute to permanent solutions. * Own Your Projects: Independently manage the technical execution, scheduling, and cost considerations for your test development and support projects based on defined requirements.
