Job description

Evident’s Inspection Technologies division is now part of Wabtec Corporation. The Senior Test Engineer is responsible for the development, implementation, and support of automated test systems used in the production of electronic assemblies. This role combines deep knowledge of LabVIEW and XJTAG with strong electronics troubleshooting skills to ensure robust, scalable, and efficient test processes. The engineer will play a critical role in New Product Introduction (NPI), sustaining test systems, and driving test coverage improvements across the manufacturing floor.

Job Duties

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test systems using NI LabVIEW, TestStand, and XJTAG.
• Create boundary scan test routines using XJTAG Development System to detect soldering issues, shorts, opens, and other PCB-level defects.
• Integrate NI and third‑party instrumentation (PXI, DAQ, SMUs, DMMs, power supplies, oscilloscopes) into custom test setups.
• Collaborate with hardware design, manufacturing, and quality teams to define test coverage, test limits, and diagnostic procedures.
• Lead the development and validation of test systems for New Product Introduction (NPI), including fixture design and functional testing.
• Maintain and troubleshoot existing test stations and provide timely support to production when failures occur.
• Analyze test data to drive improvements in yield, efficiency, and reliability.
• Document test procedures, validation protocols, user guides, and software release notes.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers and technicians on test system usage and troubleshooting.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in LabVIEW development in a manufacturing environment (Certified LabVIEW Developer is a plus).
• Experience supporting high‑reliability manufacturing operations; background in regulated industries such as medical devices, aerospace, or automotive is a plus.
• Hands‑on experience with XJTAG, including board bring‑up and boundary scan test development.
• Strong understanding of digital/analog circuitry and embedded systems.
• Proficient in NI PXI, DAQ, GPIB, VISA, and instrument driver integration.
• Familiar with automated test equipment (ATE), test fixtures, and signal routing.
• Working knowledge of version control systems (e.g., Git, SVN) and structured software development practices.
• Understanding of design‑for‑test (DFT) principles and involvement in design reviews.
• Strong problem‑solving, analytical thinking, and attention to detail.
• Able to work independently while collaborating across teams.
• Excellent organizational and documentation skills.
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast‑paced production environment.
• Leadership and mentoring abilities.
