## Description

We are seeking a hands-on Senior Embedded Systems Test & Sustaining Engineer to lead the development and maintenance of automated production and repair test solutions. You will be the technical lead for our electronic systems, responsible for the full lifecycle of test-from designing fixtures and software to performing deep-dive board-level diagnostics.
This is a "bench-heavy" role. We are looking for an engineer who thrives on digging into schematics, understanding complex embedded hardware, and building production-ready test systems from the ground up. You will bridge the gap between design intent and manufacturing reality, ensuring our products are reliably tested, validated, and sustained throughout their operational life., Test Development & Automation
System Design: Design, develop, and deploy automated test systems for complex embedded electronic assemblies.
Software Implementation: Create production and repair test software utilizing C/C++ and LabVIEW.
Hardware Engineering: Develop custom test fixtures, adapters, and interface hardware required for product validation, including the implementation of JTAG and boundary scan solutions.

Hardware Debug & Diagnostics
Root Cause Analysis: Troubleshoot embedded processor boards at the component level. Debug both analog and digital circuitry to resolve customer-reported failures and production bottlenecks.
Systems Integration: Support the transition of products into production environments. Re-validate test capabilities and ensure that all systems are optimized for long-term reliability and maintainability.

Engineering Sustainment & Support
Manufacturing Partnership: Provide technical support during production ramps and ongoing manufacturing operations. Drive improvements in test coverage, yield, and system uptime.
Technical Consulting: Assist with product evaluations, obsolescence investigations, and technical feasibility studies to support internal engineering and business development initiatives.
