## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent hands-on experience).
 * 0-5 years of experience in hardware test engineering, production test, or product validation.
 * Familiarity with embedded hardware test methods: end-of-line test, functional test, DV/PV test practices.
 * Ability to write clear technical test specifications and manage vendor/contractor relationships.
 * Comfortable working across production floor, engineering lab, and coordination with external test houses.

Technical Skills

 * Test automation/software: Keysight PathWave Test Automation, OpenTAP
 * Design/documentation: Schematic capture and review, 3D CAD (fixture and enclosure design)
 * Rapid prototyping: 3D printing (fixture and prototype fabrication)
 * CAN communication/programming tools: familiarity with tools such as Kvaser
 * First programming / in-circuit programming (ICP): development and production programming tools such as PEMicro Cyclone
 * End-of-line customer/application programming: gang (multi-unit, parallel) programming systems for production throughput

Desired Attributes

 * A passionate team member who takes ownership rather than waiting for direction.
 * Strong problem-solver who can troubleshoot down to root cause under production time pressure.
 * Genuine interest in evaluating and deploying new test technologies and methodologies to improve test coverage, speed, and reliability.

## Description

Production Test Support

 * Provide end-of-line (EOL) test and programming support for products in active production, troubleshooting test failures and minimizing production downtime.
 * Author and maintain production test specifications for existing products and products transitioning into production.

Production Test & Programmer Development

 * Manage development of production testers and programming systems for new products, coordinating requirements between hardware design, manufacturing, and test equipment development.
 * Cover both stages of production programming: first programming via in-circuit programming (ICP) at the board level using tools such as PEMicro Cyclone, and end-of-line (EOL) customer/application programming executed in a gang (multi-unit, parallel) configuration for production throughput.

DV/PV Test Specification (New Product Development)

 * Define Design Verification (DV) and Production Validation (PV) test plans and specifications for new products, ensuring test coverage aligns with product requirements and reliability targets.
 * Specify DV and PV test equipment (fixtures, testers, automation) required to execute these test plans.

DV/PV Test Equipment Development

 * Manage design and construction of DV/PV test equipment for new product programs, directing a mix of internal engineering resources and external vendors/contractors.

DV/PV Execution Coordination

 * Coordinate execution of DV and PV test programs between in-house test resources and external contract test houses, tracking schedule, scope, and results across both.
