Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Test Engineer - **Company:** Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories - **Location:** Lewiston, ID, United States - **Salary:** $84,200.0 - $170,400.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Automation of Tests, Network Analysis, Computer Programming, Software Debugging, Digital Electronics, Firmware, Python (Programming Language), Systems Development Life Cycle, Test Data, Strategies of Testing, Scripting, Test Scripts - **Published:** June 15, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=8bbf6b5c80624631 ## About the Role Do you have experience in Test analysis?, * You have a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering Technology, or equivalent * You have a solid understanding of analog and digital electronics-that foundation matters more than prior test engineering experience * You enjoy hands-on work and problem solving * You have experience with (or want to learn) test system development, scripting, and instrumentation design * You communicate clearly and work well on a team, * Experience in electronics test development-designing and building production test systems * A track record of leading or mentoring engineers or technicians * Experience with automation, instrumentation, and circuit analysis * Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, * You have experience with DFT practices in electronics manufacturing * You have knowledge of power systems protection products * You have experience with flying probe, bed-of-nails, or functional test system development * You have a background in firmware development for embedded test or self-test applications * You have exposure to programming (Python, C, or similar) ## Description The work is broad, hands-on, and directly improves product quality, manufacturing capability, and SEL devices. You will design hardware and instrumentation, develop and document test procedures, carefully consider potential failure modes, write test automation programs, and collaborate with engineers around the company and the people operating our test systems in production. * Develop test strategies, test plans, and test automation for new and existing products * Collaborate with R&D product design engineers on Design for Test (DFT), ensuring new products are testable and manufacturable from the start * Design, develop, and maintain board-level and functional test systems - including modern flying probe platforms from SPEA, bed-of-nails systems, and internally developed automated test stations * Analyze test data to identify trends, root causes of failures, and opportunities for improvement * Evaluate and implement new test technologies and methods * Continuously identify, measure, and improve processes - continually driving to improve test performance and coverage Our manufacturing facilities are US-based, modern, clean, safe, and growing. Test Engineers are at the heart of what we do-you will see your work go from concept to production floor, often within the same building. Roles We Are Filling Early Career Electronics Test Engineer - You do not need to start as a test engineering expert-if you understand electronics and circuits, we will help you grow into the discipline. You will learn quickly by doing real work on real products. Under the guidance of experienced engineers, you will design and validate test fixtures, write and debug test scripts, troubleshoot failures, and build your expertise across board-level test, functional test, instrumentation design, and test automation. Lead Electronics Test Engineer - You will own test development projects end to end, mentor engineers and technicians, set technical direction for the team, determine DFT specifications with R&D, and drive adoption of emerging test technologies. This is a true electronics engineering leadership role. ## Related Videos - [SMART Test Automation - the experience of legacy transformation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100215-smart-test-automation-the-experience-of-legacy-transformation) - [Dirty Tests And How To Clean Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/515-dirty-tests-and-how-to-clean-them) - [JavaScript?
