This is a hands-on engineering position focused on building and improving automated production test stations, developing test software, troubleshooting electrical and electromechanical systems, and ensuring reliable, repeatable manufacturing test processes. The ideal candidate has demonstrated experience developing automated test equipment (ATE), programming in LabVIEW or similar test automation environments, integrating instrumentation and test fixtures, and supporting production testing within a regulated manufacturing environment. Working closely with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Product Development, this individual will own test systems from initial concept and development through validation, production deployment, and ongoing support. A key focus of this position is replacing manual, operator-dependent testing with objective, data-driven pass/fail criteria while improving test reliability, production throughput, and product quality., Automated Test Development & Programming * Design, develop, program, validate, and deploy automated manufacturing test stations, including test fixtures, instrumentation, data acquisition systems, and control software. * Develop, implement, and maintain automated test applications using LabVIEW and other applicable programming environments. * Develop subsystem hardware and software solutions and system-level functional tests, including electrical testing, PCBA testing, leak and flow testing, and integrated electromechanical system testing. * Replace subjective or manual inspection processes with automated, quantitative, and repeatable measurements using defined acceptance criteria and pass/fail limits. * Develop reliable production test software incorporating error handling, data logging, traceability, and diagnostic capabilities. * Support new product introduction (NPI) and transition of test equipment and processes from development into manufacturing. Manufacturing Test Systems & Production Support * Troubleshoot, maintain, and improve existing production test stations to minimize downtime and improve equipment reliability, test throughput, and manufacturing efficiency. * Diagnose hardware, software, electrical, PCBA, and electromechanical system failures using oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, DAQ systems, and other test instrumentation. * Partner with Manufacturing Engineering and Product Development to define test requirements, parameters, coverage, and acceptance criteria. * Analyze production test data to identify failure trends, yield issues, test escapes, and opportunities for process improvement. * Support PCBA hardware and software test development, including transition to contract manufacturing partners when applicable. * Provide hands-on troubleshooting and technical support for OCS manufacturing, sustaining engineering, and Technical Service activities. Test Data, Validation & Quality * Integrate automated test equipment with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), databases, and other data collection platforms to support accurate, searchable, and traceable production test results. * Develop and execute equipment qualification and validation activities, including IQ/OQ/PQ, Gage R&R, and other measurement system analysis methods, as applicable. * Establish and maintain test procedures, software documentation, equipment specifications, calibration requirements, and work instructions. * Create, revise, release, and maintain controlled documentation through established engineering change order processes. * Participate in process risk assessments, PFMEA, DFM/DFA reviews, root cause investigations, and corrective action initiatives. * Collaborate with Quality Assurance to maintain compliance with applicable FDA Quality System Regulations, cGMP, ISO 13485, and internal quality requirements. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Technical Support * Partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Operations teams to continuously improve test coverage, product quality, and manufacturing efficiency. * Train and support manufacturing technicians and operators on automated test equipment, troubleshooting methods, and inspection procedures. * Provide technical mentorship and guidance to technicians and junior-level engineers. * Support equipment vendors, manufacturing partners, and cross-functional engineering projects as needed. * Perform other related duties as assigned., * Automated manufacturing test systems that deliver reliable, repeatable, and objective pass/fail results. * Reduced reliance on manual testing and operator-dependent inspection decisions. * Improved first-pass yield, reduced test cycle times, and increased manufacturing throughput. * Reliable production test stations with minimal unplanned downtime. * Accurate, searchable, and traceable test data that supports manufacturing quality and continuous improvement. * Well-documented, validated test systems that support both new product introductions and ongoing production., This position does not have direct people-management responsibilities but may provide technical mentorship and project guidance to engineers and technicians.
