Development Test Engineer: DVP & Lab Execution

Molex; Lisle (IL); On-site; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Molex is seeking a Development Test Engineer to own the execution and management of Design Verification Plans (DVPs) for new product development programs. You will translate verification requirements into executable test plans, coordinate samples, equipment, and labs, and ensure tests are completed on time with complete reports.

You will collaborate across Development Engineering, Product Design Engineering, project management, reliability labs, and quality teams to deliver traceable evidence

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher in an engineering discipline.
• 3+ years in product development testing, validation, reliability, or lab operations.
• Experience creating, coordinating, or executing verification or validation test plans with defined requirements, methods, samples, acceptance criteria, schedules, and reports.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent tests, priorities, dependencies, and stakeholders while maintaining accurate status.
• Experience coordinating samples, fixtures, equipment, lab capacity, and technical documentation for test execution.
• Ability to travel as needed to support testing and issue resolution.

Responsibilities

• Create, maintain, and manage DVPs that define test requirements, methods, sample quantities, acceptance criteria, responsibilities, timing, and required evidence.
• Convert program milestones and engineering requirements into an integrated test execution schedule with clear priorities, dependencies, and completion dates.
• Coordinate with required internal and external laboratories to confirm capability, capacity, equipment, fixtures, methods, lead times, and reporting expectations before testing begins.
• Plan and track sample demand, build timing, conditioning, identification, configuration, packaging, documentation, and delivery so laboratories receive the correct samples in test-ready condition.
• Actively identify and remove roadblocks related to manpower, material, equipment, laboratory capacity, fixtures, methods, information, and decision-making.
• Maintain accurate status for planned, ready, in-process, completed, blocked, failed, and reported tests; communicate risks early and drive recovery actions to closure.
• Conduct test-readiness reviews to verify samples, methods, fixtures, equipment, acceptance criteria, data capture, and ownership are complete before execution.
• Ensure tests are executed to the approved plan and method, with deviations documented, reviewed, and approved by the appropriate technical owner.
• Partner with laboratories to ensure test data and reports are accurate, complete, traceable, and issued on time, including sample identification, conditions, results, observations, photographs, and disposition.
• Review completed reports against the DVP and acceptance criteria; resolve missing, inconsistent, or unclear information before results are accepted.
• When failures or unexpected results occur, engage the Development Engineering and Product Design Engineering teams, preserve samples and evidence, and support structured failure analysis and retest planning.
• Facilitate routine test execution reviews, elevate unresolved constraints, and provide concise schedule, risk, and completion updates to program stakeholders.
• Maintain organized DVP records, test requests, laboratory communications, raw data, reports, deviations, failure-analysis evidence, and approvals in the designated systems.
• Capture lessons learned and improve standard test plans, sample logistics, laboratory interfaces, templates, and execution workflows for future programs.
