## Description

In Abbott's Heart Failure (HF) business, we're developing solutions to diagnose, monitor and manage heart failure, allowing people to restore their health and get on with their lives.

The Test Systems Development Engineer I develops automated test systems, fixtures, equipment, and methodologies to support the research, development, characterization, and verification of mechanical circulatory support devices and associated technologies. Working collaboratively across mechanical, electrical, embedded software, software verification, and clinical engineering teams, this role translates product and subsystem testing needs into practical, repeatable, and automated test solutions. The position combines hardware development, instrumentation, programming, and experimental testing to improve testing efficiency, data quality, and engineering productivity.

What You'll Work On

 * Design, build, troubleshoot, and maintain test fixtures and equipment for mechanical, electrical, and electro-mechanical systems.
 * Develop automated tests, software applications, scripts, and tools using technologies such as Python or LabVIEW to control equipment, acquire data, and generate reports.
 * Integrate sensors, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems into laboratory and development test environments.
 * Support testing, characterization, troubleshooting, and verification activities for pumps, controllers, sensors, and other product components.
 * Analyze test data, document procedures and results, and collaborate across engineering disciplines to develop reusable test solutions.
