Job description

Test Engineer

Responsible for testing, diagnosing, and resolving issues in electronic, software, or mechanical systems during development or production. Their main goal is to ensure product reliability, functionality, and quality before delivery.

1. Test Development and Execution

• Design and develop comprehensive test plans, procedures, and fixtures for products or components.
• Execute functional, performance, and stress tests to ensure product reliability and compliance with specifications.
• Automate test processes where feasible using scripting languages or specialized test software to improve efficiency and repeatability.

2. Debugging and Troubleshooting

• Analyze test results to identify root causes of failures or performance deviations.
• Debug hardware, firmware, or software issues using diagnostic tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and firmware engineering teams to implement effective corrective actions.

3. Product Validation

• Validate new products during the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase to ensure compliance with design and performance specifications.
• Support Design Verification Testing (DVT), system integration, and final product testing activities.

4. Data Analysis and Reporting

• Collect, analyze, and interpret test data to identify trends, anomalies, and recurring issues.
• Prepare clear and detailed documentation of test procedures, results, and debug findings.
• Recommend design, process, or quality improvements based on data-driven insights.

5. Collaboration and Support

• Work closely with design, manufacturing, and quality engineering teams to ensure seamless product development and issue resolution.
• Provide technical support for field returns, customer-reported issues, and production-related problems.
• Train production and quality assurance (QA) teams on testing methodologies, procedures, and troubleshooting techniques.

Job Requirements

Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 2–5 years of experience in product testing, validation, or hardware/firmware debugging.

Technical Skills

• Proficiency in using test and diagnostic tools (e.g., oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, debuggers).
• Familiarity with test automation frameworks and scripting languages (e.g., Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, or similar).
• Solid understanding of electronic circuits, embedded systems, and communication interfaces (UART, SPI, I²C, CAN, etc.).
• Experience with data collection, analysis, and reporting tools (e.g., Excel, Power BI, or custom dashboards).

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
• Effective communication and collaboration abilities across multidisciplinary teams.
• Self‑motivated, organized, and capable of handling multiple projects simultaneously.

Additional Assets (Optional)

• Experience in Design Verification Testing (DVT) or Reliability Testing.
• Knowledge of quality systems and standards (e.g., ISO, IPC, or automotive/aerospace standards).
• Familiarity with statistical process control and failure analysis methodologies (e.g., FMEA, 8D).
