About the role

Engineer responsible for designing and building complex test systems and PCB test hardware for manufacturing, owning full-cycle PCB design from requirements to production integration, and improving test automation and data analytics.

Responsibilities

  • Design circuits and schematics for test automation platforms, including FPGA-based data acquisition boards, MCU data interfaces, breakout boards, wiring harnesses, and peripheral modules.
  • Own full-cycle PCB design for test hardware — collecting requirements, capturing schematics, selecting components, supervising or completing layout, and driving designs through fabrication and assembly.
  • Architect and source circuit board test fixtures, integrating custom designs with internally developed and off-the-shelf data acquisition equipment.
  • Bring up, debug, and characterize circuits across low-speed interfaces (I2C, SPI, CAN) and high-speed signals (RF, memory, USB).
  • Apply DFT best practices to new products, to enable comprehensive tester design
  • Work with firmware engineers to enable board support packages for embedded Linux and bring up MCU RTOS platforms.
  • Integrate designs into configuration management systems, using proper control and release processes.
  • Continuously improve test automation methods, throughput, user interfaces, and data analytics.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics, Computer, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields OR 10+ years of advanced knowledge acquired through work experience and/or intellectual instruction in lieu of degree
  • 8+ years of professional experience in electrical hardware design with emphasis on products that have gone to manufacturing.
  • Expertise in PCBA design — ability to design and fabricate your own boards or guide contract manufacturing resources.
  • Full understanding of PCB layout techniques to meet mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing requirements.
  • Experience with Altium Designer or equivalent E-CAD tools for schematic capture and layout.
  • Familiarity with standard interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, USB, and common MCU/FPGA devices.
  • Familiarity with electronics test equipment including power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, function generators, spectrum analyzers, and data acquisition sensors.
  • Familiar with Product Life Cycle (PLM) systems and releasing designs for production.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in a multi-disciplinary team.
  • Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
