• LabVIEW, TestStand, and test instrument integration
• Development of manufacturing test requirements and methodologies

Education Required: Bachelor’s in engineering or engineering technology (electrical preferred, EE/ECE or EET degrees)

Years’ Experience Required: 7+

Will the contractor be working 40 hours a week? If not, weekly estimate? Yes

Desired Experience Profile

• Manufacturing Test Engineering and Test Application Development
• LabVIEW, TestStand, MATLAB, and instrument integration
• Test methodology development, measurement system analysis (MSA), Gauge R&R, and uncertainty analysis
• Development of manufacturing test limits, guard bands, and validation strategies
• Requirements definition, URS/SRS development, verification, and validation

Domain Expertise

• LED emitter characterization and optical measurement systems
• Spectroscopy and spectrometer integration
• Optical sensor technologies and photonics-based measurement systems
• Understanding of factors affecting optical measurements, including temperature, drive current, fixturing, alignment, and environmental conditions
• Statistical analysis of measurement variation, repeatability, reproducibility, and yield performance
• Experience translating R&D laboratory measurement methods into robust high-volume manufacturing test solutions

Ideal Candidate

An engineer with a strong combination of manufacturing test development expertise and optical measurement knowledge, including LED emitters, spectroscopy, sensor technology, signal processing, and measurement uncertainty, who can bridge the gap between R&D concepts and production-ready manufacturing test systems.

Direct optical experience would be valuable, but a strong manufacturing Test/Application Engineer with measurement-system development experience could onboard with technical guidance from our internal sensor expert and product experts.
