Job description

If you are an enthusiastic professional interested in being part of a fast‑growing company with strong engineering and research culture, we are looking for a passionate Production Test/Process Engineer to join the team and help us.

Disruptive mobility tech companies like Technica are driving the changes in electronics architecture that the industry needs to accelerate the arrival of the software‑defined vehicle era. As hardware systems for the next generation of automotive connectivity and computing platforms grow in complexity, the prototypes production team working close to our engineering team has become a decisive factor in being able to accelerate the timing between development and production phases, to cover the market needs in the quickest way possible.

“The ideal candidate is curious to dig deep into how our hardware products work, is able to understand complex electronic designs and is a team player who is not afraid to challenge the boundaries of their current position, interacting closely with the development team.”

Main Functions

• Collaborate on design of semi‑automated end‑of‑line test systems.
• Lead assembly, maintenance and continuous improvement activities of semi‑automated end‑of‑line test systems.
• Improve testing systems for existing products by adding capabilities and expanding test coverage, among others.
• Define timelines, milestones, and testing requirements for new product prototypes in the early phases of their introduction into the Technica portfolio.
• Generate technical documentation for test equipment, including user manuals, test coverage reports, and verification guides.
• Generate production reports using statistical tools to track KPIs and identify manufacturing issues.
• Analyse PCBA schematics and understand full product functionality to diagnose failures and repair line rejects.
• Provide technical production validation support to cross‑functional team members (HW/SW).
• Provide technical support to HW/SW team members on design for testing and design for manufacturing (DFT / DFM) topics.
• Generate accurate periodic reporting of project status and blocking points for the introduction of new products.

What We Offer

• Full flexibility to manage hybrid work model, depending on the tasks.
• Attractive professional career development in a truly cross‑functional product team—where hardware, software and prototypes production come together, silos don’t exist, and everyone collaborates around a shared mission: building a better product, together.
• A strong engineering‑and research‑driven culture, with a clear commitment to reinvesting in innovation through new products and the continuous growth of our know‑how.
• Be part of an environment where curiosity is valued, deep thinking is encouraged, and taking the time to truly understand a problem is seen not as a delay—but as a smart investment.
• Opportunity to work at the forefront of innovation in automotive industry within a company working as pure R&D partner for main worldwide OEMs.
• Opportunity to work in an international environment within a diverse team. International mobility options are available to discuss case‑by‑case.
• 30 working days as holidays, with full flexibility to manage them.
• Private health insurance.
• Regular team building activities with specific company budget.
• Opportunity to further expand your training, from personal abilities to technical areas.

Job Requirements

• Proven Production Process/Test Engineer experience in automotive, telecom or industry markets. Automotive production experience is not a must.
• Strong production background and desirable previous experience on interaction between development and production teams.
• Basic electronics understanding is mandatory – capability to understand schematics and identify easily electronics manufacturing defects.
• Basic knowledge of different communication bus interfaces used in electronic embedded systems: I2C, SPI, CAN, CAND‑FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet, etc., is desirable.
• Knowledge of how to optimise circuit design for ease of manufacturing processes and electronics testing (DFM / DFT) is desirable.
• Precise soldering skills (SMD components, fine pitch ICs).
• Experience developing test sequences with NI Test Stand or any other test automation frameworks.
• Experience in programming languages like Python, C#, etc., used for instrumentation control or communication with embedded systems in a manufacturing test environment.
• Experience with mechanical prototyping processes: 3D printing (FDM/SLA), vacuum casting and rapid tooling is desirable.
• Quick learner with ability to grasp complex tech concepts without deep detail.
• Collaborative and patient, able to build strong cross‑functional relationships.
• Able to prioritise and multitask under pressure in an autonomous way.
• Highly detail‑oriented person with a passion for being proactive in finding solutions.
• Fluency in local languages and working fluency in English is a must.
