Electronics Test Equipment Engineer

As a member of the Electronics R&D Team, the Electronics Test Equipment Engineer is responsible for designing automated test equipment that is used to validate, configure, program and test electronic circuits (PCBAs) and electronic systems. The designed test equipment can be used for internal R&D purposes but also for volume production at manufacturing sites. The engineer will be involved in hardware and software development related to the test equipment.

Essential Duties And Responsibilities

• Participate in project management to evaluate costs and timeline of development.
• Design and develop embedded hardware including microcontroller‑based systems, peripheral interfaces, and power circuits.
• Design automated and semi‑automated electronic test equipment for product validation and manufacturing use.
• Development of firmware and software required to operate the test equipment.
• Define test requirements.
• Participate in DFT (Design-for-Test) reviews and internal standards.
• Assist PCB CAD Engineer with PCB Layout guidelines and PCB layer Stacking.
• Prototype and testing support for locally developed and fabricated assemblies.
• Cable harness design.
