Our employees tell us that the number one reason they enjoy working for Cochlear is the opportunity to make a difference to people’s lives. Learn and grow with us as we tackle the most complex challenges in helping more people to experience a lifetime of hearing.

The Opportunity

The Senior Test Systems Engineer will support the electrical test systems used as part of the Cochlear Brisbane Manufacturing Facility. This role works with the electrical test system quality gate step within the assembly process for the Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCAs) and Implantable Electronic Assemblies (IEAs) manufactured by Cochlear Brisbane. It is responsible for the sustaining product lifecycle phase of those systems and ensuring manufacturing efficiency as required. These electrical test systems incorporate custom and off-the-shelf electronic components combined with custom software and hardware. As a critical quality gate during the production process, these systems are of high importance, and it is critical to ensure system integrity and measurement accuracy. Success within this role is marked by the delivery of specialised engineering support to sustain and enhance Cochlear’s manufacturing test systems to drive continuous improvement and operational efficiency.
