• Verify industrial communication interfaces, including 4-20 mA current loop, HART 7, Modbus, PROFIBUS, RS-485, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and Bluetooth.
• Test industrial level measurement products that may use guided wave radar (TDR), non-contact radar, RF/admittance, magnetostrictive, displacer, and point-level sensing technologies.
• Conduct board- and system-level bring-up, troubleshooting, fault isolation, electrical characterization, and failure analysis using laboratory instrumentation.
• Analyze test data, identify trends and anomalies, document results, and communicate clear conclusions and recommendations to project teams.
• Partner with design engineers to improve product testability, reliability, manufacturability, and compliance readiness.
• Support compliance and certification activities for UL, CE, FCC, FM, and ATEX/IECEx requirements, as applicable.
• Apply relevant requirements and test methods, including ISA S71.03, MIL-STD-810G, IEC 61326-1, IEC 61000-4, IEC 60529, and NAMUR NE 21, NE 43, and NE 107, as applicable.
• Support hazardous-area, Intrinsic Safety (IS), and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) verification activities, as applicable.
• Interface with external test laboratories, certification agencies, suppliers, and customers as needed.
• Support production test operations and field investigations by resolving equipment and product issues, improving test coverage, and implementing corrective actions.
• Maintain test software, equipment, calibration records, work instructions, and engineering documentation in accordance with quality-system and change-control requirements.
• Other duties as assigned.
