Hardware Test Engineer - DV/PV & EOL

New Eagle LLC; Ann Arbor (MI); On-site; USD 70,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

New Eagle LLC's Hardware Team is seeking a Test Engineer to own the full lifecycle of hardware test—from production end-of-line support to Design Verification and Production Validation for new products. This role blends hands-on lab work with technical specification writing and coordination with internal teams and external test houses.

You will define DV/PV test plans, specify required equipment, and guide the development of DV/PV test fixtures and automation.

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.

Responsibilities

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