Electrical Engineer - Manufacturing Test

Support the development of functional test coverage for PCBAs, subsystems, and production systems.

Review schematics, PCB layouts, and manufacturing documentation to define test requirements and validation plans.

Partner with design engineers to improve Design-for-Test (DFT) and Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM), including test points, diagnostics, firmware validation, and observability.

Help establish pass/fail criteria grounded in product performance, reliability, and manufacturing requirements.

Participate in engineering validation, production qualification, and end-of-line (EOL) test activities.

Design, modify, and support electrical test fixtures for PCBA validation and production testing.

Collaborate with external fixture vendors to develop and deploy manufacturing test solutions.

Support the development of bed-of-nails fixtures, interface boards, harness validation fixtures, and other production test hardware.

Specify, integrate, and troubleshoot instrumentation including oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, electronic loads, DAQs, and communication interfaces.

Help deliver test stations that are reliable, maintainable, safe, and scalable.

Support board bring-up, hardware validation, and root-cause analysis of electrical issues.

Drive rapid debug loops when tests fail.

Improve test observability and diagnostic resolution.

Partner with manufacturing, quality, and engineering teams to improve yield, reduce escapes, and accelerate learning cycles.

Support pilot builds, NPI activities, and production ramps.

Generate manufacturing documentation, test procedures, and engineering change requests.

Support fixture maintenance, calibration, and continuous improvement efforts.

Help close the loop between manufacturing, design, and reliability teams.

Contribute to improving test coverage, manufacturing efficiency, and product quality over time.

Work across the full manufacturing test lifecycle: PCBA validation → subsystem testing → end-of-line production.

Gain hands-on experience with test fixtures, automated test systems, and manufacturing operations.

Collaborate directly with design engineers, suppliers, contract manufacturers, and fixture vendors.

Exposure to real-world DFM, DFT, NPI, and production scaling challenges.

High agency and high slope — the systems you help build directly influence product quality, manufacturing readiness, and how quickly we can ship.

We prioritize strong fundamentals, practical problem-solving, ownership, and a willingness to learn. We care as much about how you work as what you already know.

Ability to read and understand electrical schematics and PCB layouts.

Fundamental understanding of analog and digital circuits.

Familiarity with PCBAs and electronic manufacturing processes.

Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.

Ability to work cross-functionally and drive issues to closure.

Experience designing or debugging simple circuits.

Experience with oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and other lab equipment.

Exposure to manufacturing test fixtures, production testing, or hardware validation.

Experience working with contract manufacturers, suppliers, or hardware vendors.

Familiarity with DFM, DFT, NPI, or PCBA manufacturing processes.

Experience with PCB design tools such as Altium, KiCad, Eagle, or similar.
