Design, build, and maintain automated test stations and fixtures. Develop LabVIEW-based test automation, validate and debug electronic/RF hardware, perform root-cause analysis, optimize yield using test data, and author SOPs and DFT guidelines to support R&D and high-volume manufacturing.
Description
The Electronics Test Development Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining automated test stations. This role bridges R&D and manufacturing by developing the test infrastructure required to validate new electronic/RF hardware designs and ensure quality during high-volume production.
Key Responsibilities
- Test Architecture: Design and develop automated test equipment (ATE), test fixtures, and complex electronic systems.
- Test Automation: Write, debug, and maintain automated test software using LabVIEW 2020-2026. Familiarity with LabVIEW PPL’s and distributed runtime engines. Must know or have ability to learn various LabVIEW implementations.
- Hardware Design: Create custom test interfaces, develop rack-based test stations.
- Validation & Debug: Collaborate with Engineers and Technicians to define test plans, perform root-cause failure analysis, and validate hardware functionality.
- Yield Optimization: Analyze test data and statistical yield metrics to optimize test coverage and reduce overall test time in manufacturing.
- Documentation: Author standard operating procedures (SOPs), test coverage reports, and Design-for-Test (DFT) guidelines.
Requirements
Qualifications & Skills
- Education: Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with proven relative experience.
- Programming: Five years of LabVIEW 2020 – 2026 experience for test development and instrument automation. Plus – if experienced in Actor Framework and/or Python 3.1 or later.
- Lab Equipment: Hands-on experience with rack-based test instruments such as: RF Switches, oscilloscopes, digital multimeters (DMMs), logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and power supplies.
- Hardware Skills: Experience with schematics and basic board troubleshooting.
- Problem Solving: Strong fault-finding skills with the ability to perform root-cause analysis on analog, digital, or mixed-signal circuits and rack-based instruments.
- Industry Knowledge: DFT methodologies, ATE platforms, and regulatory compliance testing.
