What to Expect
The ideal candidate is a highly motivated Test Engineer who thrives on deploying, sustaining, and improving manufacturing test equipment. You will own test hardware and software performance for remanufacturing operations-driving uptime, cycle time, and first-pass yield while debugging electrical, controls, and software issues. You bring hands-on technical depth, clear communication, and a can-do attitude in a fast-paced environment where creative problem-solving and real ownership are expected.
What You'll Do
- Deploy,validate, and
sustain manufacturing test equipment for remanufacturing production lines - Design and improve test
equipment hardware (mechanical and electrical) with emphasis on safety, serviceability, and robust connections - Develop,maintain,
andoptimizeproduction test software to improve coverage, reliability, and operational efficiency - Lead uptime, cycle time, and
first-pass yield improvements on test equipment (hardware reliability, software faults, maintenance readiness) - Troubleshoot and debug
electrical, controls, and software issues; support 24/7 operations as needed during ramp and sustain - Collaborate with
manufacturing, process, quality, controls, and maintenance engineering so test equipment meets production expectations - Partner with product and
process design teams to define test specifications that balance yield, quality, and line rate - Perform proactive data
analysis on tester and product results; translate findings into clear actions for technical and non-technical audiences - Identifytechnical risk
early; prototype fixtures, methods, and instrumentation to mitigate issues before they hit production - Document designs, procedures,
qualifications, and handoffs so equipment can beoperatedand sustained without tribal knowledge
What You'll Bring
- Degree in Electrical,
Software, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience - 7+ years of relevant
experience in test equipment development, deployment, and optimization - Hands-on experience with test
and automation systems: sensors, data acquisition, safety circuits, I/O, PLCs, and industrial instrumentation - Familiarity with high-voltage
power electronics and/or battery systems strongly preferred - Ability to read and work with
software (Python preferred; Go, C/C++, C#, LabVIEW, orTestStanda plus) and contribute using git/version control - Experience debugging common
industrial communication protocols (e.g., CAN, Modbus, RS-232/SPI) and interpreting bus traces - Hands-on with electrical
tools (DMM, oscilloscope, power supplies) and practical skills in wiring, instrumentation, assembly, and modification - Solid understanding of
production equipment design concerns: operator safety, usability, serviceability, and ruggedness - Ability to work under
pressure, manage competing priorities, and communicate clearly across engineering and operations - Willingness to support
production operations outside standard hours when equipment or launch critical path requires it
