Hardware Test Engineer

ADP, Inc.; Ann Arbor (MI); Sur place; USD 70 000 - 110 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

New Eagle is seeking a Test Engineer to own the full lifecycle of hardware test—from production end-of-line test support through Design Verification (DV) and Production Validation (PV) test development for new products.

This role bridges day-to-day production test operations with forward-looking test strategy for products still in development, and requires someone comfortable moving between hands-on lab work, technical specification writing, and coordination with internal teams and external test

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent hands‑on experience).
• 0–5 years of experience in hardware test engineering, production test, or product validation.
• Familiarity with embedded hardware test methods: end‑of‑line test, functional test, DV/PV test practices.
• Ability to write clear technical test specifications and manage vendor/contractor relationships.
• Comfortable working across production floor, lab, and coordination with external test houses.

Responsabilités

• Provide end-of-line (EOL) test and programming support for products in active production, troubleshooting test failures and minimizing production downtime.
• Author and maintain production test specifications for existing products and products transitioning into production.
• Manage development of production testers and programming systems for new products, coordinating requirements between hardware design, manufacturing, and test equipment development.
• Cover both stages of production programming: first programming via in-circuit programming (ICP) and EOL gang programming for production throughput.
• Define DV and PV test plans and specifications for new products, ensuring test coverage aligns with requirements and reliability targets.
• Specify DV and PV test equipment required to execute these test plans.
• Manage design and construction of DV/PV test equipment, directing internal resources and external vendors.
• Coordinate DV and PV test program execution between in-house resources and external contract test houses, tracking schedule, scope, and results.

Description du poste

New Eagle's Hardware Team is seeking a Test Engineer to own the full lifecycle of hardware test — from production end-of-line test support through Design Verification (DV) and Production Validation (PV) test development for new products. This role bridges day-to-day production test operations with forward-looking test strategy for products still in development, and requires someone comfortable moving between hands-on lab work, technical specification writing, and coordination with internal teams and external test houses.

Key Responsibilities

Production Test Support

• Provide end-of-line (EOL) test and programming support for products in active production, troubleshooting test failures and minimizing production downtime.
• Author and maintain production test specifications for existing products and products transitioning into production.
• Manage development of production testers and programming systems for new products, coordinating requirements between hardware design, manufacturing, and test equipment development.
• Cover both stages of production programming: first programming via in-circuit programming (ICP) at the board level using tools such as PEMicro Cyclone, and end-of-line (EOL) customer/application programming executed in a gang (multi-unit, parallel) configuration for production throughput.

DV/PV Test Specification (New Product Development)

• Define Design Verification (DV) and Production Validation (PV) test plans and specifications for new products, ensuring test coverage aligns with product requirements and reliability targets.
• Specify DV and PV test equipment (fixtures, testers, automation) required to execute these test plans.

DV/PV Test Equipment Development

• Manage design and construction of DV/PV test equipment for new product programs, directing a mix of internal engineering resources and external vendors/contractors.

DV/PV Execution Coordination

• Coordinate execution of DV and PV test programs between in-house test resources and external contract test houses, tracking schedule, scope, and results across both.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent hands‑on experience).
• 0–5 years of experience in hardware test engineering, production test, or product validation.
• Familiarity with embedded hardware test methods: end‑of‑line test, functional test, DV/PV test practices.
• Ability to write clear technical test specifications and manage vendor/contractor relationships.
• Comfortable working across production floor, engineering lab, and coordination with external test houses.

Technical Skills

• Test automation/software: Keysight PathWave Test Automation, OpenTAP
• Design/documentation: Schematic capture and review, 3D CAD (fixture and enclosure design)
• Rapid prototyping: 3D printing (fixture and prototype fabrication)
• CAN communication/programming tools: familiarity with tools such as Kvaser
• First programming / in‑circuit programming (ICP): development and production programming tools such as PEMicro Cyclone
• End‑of‑line customer/application programming: gang (multi‑unit, parallel) programming systems for production throughput

Desired Attributes

• A passionate team member who takes ownership rather than waiting for direction.
• Strong problem‑solver who can troubleshoot down to root cause under production time pressure.
• Genuine interest in evaluating and deploying new test technologies and methodologies to improve test coverage, speed, and reliability.
