What You Will Do:

Define test strategies and test plans for mechanical, electrical, and electronic hardware verification throughout the New Product Introduction (NPI) lifecycle.

Review product requirements, technical specifications, engineering drawings, interfaces, and design documentation to establish test coverage and acceptance criteria.

Develop detailed NPI test procedures, test cases, test methods, acceptance criteria, and test schedules.

Plan and coordinate test readiness for NPI builds, including test equipment, fixtures, jigs, instrumentation, samples, test software, tools, and documentation.

Support prototype, engineering, pilot, and NPI build testing to verify product functionality, performance, safety, reliability, and design robustness.

Perform mechanical, electrical, electronic, functional, environmental, and reliability testing at component, subsystem, and system levels.

Conduct hands‑on troubleshooting and debugging of mechanical, electrical, electronic, and system‑level hardware issues identified during NPI testing.

Collaborate with R&D Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, and System Design Engineers to identify, reproduce, troubleshoot, and resolve design and hardware issues.

Analyze test data, measurement results, failure symptoms, and test logs to support root cause analysis (RCA) and failure investigations.

Take ownership of hardware verification and system-level test issues, including:

Mechanical design, fit, alignment, dimensional, tolerance, and mechanism‑related issues.

Electrical and electronic design, wiring, power supply, sensors, actuators, and control interface issues.

Test equipment, instrumentation, fixtures, jigs, and test setup deficiencies.

NPI build issues, test readiness gaps, test failures, and verification status.

Test documentation, test records, results, and traceability.

Maintain accurate and traceable NPI test records, including test results, measurements, test setups, failure findings, and technical documentation.

Identify test equipment and instrumentation requirements and support the procurement of necessary fixtures, tools, measurement instruments, and consumables.

Participate in NPI build reviews and test result reviews, communicate verification progress and technical risks, and accelerate critical hardware issues.

Prepare test reports, failure investigation reports, NPI test status updates, technical findings, and verification documentation.

Recommend design, test method, fixture, and process improvements based on test results, failure trends, and troubleshooting findings.

Drive continuous improvement in test coverage, test methodologies, troubleshooting effectiveness, NPI test readiness, and overall product quality.

What You Will Bring (Required Qualifications):

Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, or Mechatronic Engineering, or an equivalent field.

Fresh graduates or candidates with at least one year of relevant testing or verification experience.

Experience in prototype testing, NPI builds, or hardware testing is an advantage.
