Job description

o Team is responsible for defining the overall manufacturing test architecture, technologies, methodologies, and specifications used across production environment. o Increasing scope of work requires additional hands-on engineering support to develop, deploy, validate, and maintain manufacturing test systems. o Team is currently designing and building the test architecture framework that will be deployed across multiple manufacturing stations and contract manufacturers (CMs) both domestically and internationally. o Need additional support to help validate software frameworks, test strategies, and manufacturing test equipment before deployment into the field. About the Team o Team owns the manufacturing test architecture for electronics and battery systems. o Responsible for defining manufacturing test technologies, test methodologies, test coverage requirements, and validation standards. o Supports approximately 15 different manufacturing test stations and levels throughout the production process. o Works closely with Electrical Engineering, Firmware, Quality, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and external contract manufacturers. o Team partners with external consultants and vendors to deploy manufacturing test systems globally. Mission / About the Role o Seeking a hands-on FCT Test Development Engineer to develop, deploy, and support automated manufacturing test systems used to validate electronic assemblies and system-level products. This engineer will help execute the test architecture defined by the Manufacturing Test Engineering team, developing Functional Circuit Test (FCT) and End-of-Line (EOL) solutions that ensure product quality, reliability, and manufacturability as scales production. This is a highly execution-focused role requiring strong expertise in LabVIEW, TestStand, manufacturing automation, embedded communication protocols, and production test development. Top 3 Qualifications / Responsibilities:

  1. Develop automated manufacturing test systems using NI LabVIEW and NI TestStand. # Design, build, troubleshoot, and deploy FCT and EOL test stations for production environments.

  2. Support manufacturing test architecture and test execution. # Implement test specifications, test coverage requirements, acceptance criteria, and validation methodologies defined by the Manufacturing Test Engineering team.

  3. Develop and validate production-ready test solutions. # Work with internal engineering teams, external vendors, and contract manufacturers to ensure test systems are scalable, reliable, and ready for deployment globally. Day-to-Day Responsibilities: Test Development o Develop automated manufacturing test applications using NI LabVIEW and NI TestStand. o Create and maintain functional test sequences for PCBAs and system-level assemblies. o Design and support automated test fixtures and test equipment integration. Architecture & Test Reviews o Review manufacturing test specifications and test architecture documentation. o Provide technical feedback and identify opportunities to improve test coverage and reliability. o Collaborate with senior engineers to validate manufacturing test frameworks and software tools. Manufacturing Support o Support NPI builds, production ramp activities, and manufacturing troubleshooting. o Investigate test failures and perform root cause analysis. o Improve test station uptime, diagnostics, and manufacturing efficiency. Cross-Functional Collaboration o Work closely with Electrical, Firmware, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain teams. o Coordinate with external vendors and contract manufacturers on test equipment deployment and validation activities. o Participate in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT).

Requirements

o 3+ years of manufacturing test engineering experience (5+ preferred). o Strong hands-on experience with: NI LabVIEW & NI TestStand (biggest must-have). o Experience developing automated manufacturing test systems. o Experience supporting Functional Circuit Test (FCT) and/or End-of-Line (EOL) testing. o Understanding of embedded and manufacturing communication protocols such as:CAN / CAN-FD, SPI, I2C, Iso SPI, Modbus, Ethernet/IP, TCP/IP. o Experience working with automated test instrumentation: DAQs, Power supplies, Oscilloscopes, DMMs, Electronic loads. o Experience with manufacturing automation and production test environments. o Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills. Preferred Qualifications / Nice-to-Haves: o NI VeriStand o Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing experience. o Python scripting and automation. o Experience using Python to analyze manufacturing test data and identify trends/correlations. o Experience integrating test systems with MES platforms and production databases. o Familiarity with AOI, AXI, ICT, or Flying Probe inspection technologies. o Experience with Minitab, MSA, or statistical process analysis tools. o CLD or CLA LabVIEW certifications. β€œThe Company offers the following benefits for this position, subject to applicable eligibility requirements: medical insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, 401(k) retirement plan, life insurance, long-term disability insurance, short-term disability insurance, paid parking/public transportation, (paid time , paid sick and safe time , hours of paid vacation time, weeks of paid parental leave, paid holidays annually - AS Applicable)”
