Job description

We are seeking a highly motivated Design & Test Development Engineer to design, develop, and implement test systems for our products. The role involves developing test software, designing test circuits, and developing embedded firmware to support functional testing, data collection, and failure analysis.

Key Responsibilities

Test Program Development:

Design and develop semi-automated test programs and setups independently using various programming languages.

Interface and control test instruments, measurement equipment, and data acquisition systems for mixed-signal (analog and digital) product testing.

Ensure test programs meet product functional verification requirements and production efficiency targets.

Hardware and Firmware Design

Design circuit diagrams and schematics for custom test cards and interface boards based on specific product test requirements. Knowledge of power supply design will be an added advantage.

Develop embedded firmware for microcontroller-based test systems (e.g., Microchip, ST, TI or similar).

Design & Integrate hardware and software functions to ensure accurate & reliable test operation.

Test Documentation and Data Analysis

Develop and maintain test plans, test procedures, and documentation for production and engineering validation.

Establish data logging frameworks for performance monitoring, yield tracking, and process improvement.

Conduct detailed failure analysis, identify root causes, and propose corrective actions to improve test coverage and product quality.

Requirements

Candidate must possess at least a Bachelor's Degree in Electronics/Electrical/Computer Engineering.

Required skills: Experience in test software/hardware design, embedded microcontroller/micro-processor/DSP, mixed-signal (analog/digital), C/C++, and circuit design.

Good knowledge in basic electronics, experience in using DMM, Oscilloscope, power source/meter, and testing methodology.

Experience with coding for the dsPIC33 microcontroller from Microchip would be an added advantage.
