Full Job Description JOB ID:

726520BR Date posted: Apr. 30, 2026

Description:

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Staff Automated Test Engineer with deep expertise in designing and integrating Automated Test Equipment (ATE) for complex electrical systems, subsystems, and circuit card assemblies (CCAs). With 12+ years of hands-on experience, you will lead the electrical design aspects of custom ATE solutions, interface with cross-functional teams (product design, manufacturing, software/test engineers), troubleshoot production issues, and drive improvements in test coverage, reliability, and efficiency. This role involves architecting robust, production-ready test solutions in high-reliability environments.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the full-cycle electrical design of custom ATE systems, including schematics, PCB layouts, cable/interconnect drawings, fixture design ("bed of nails" or flying probe), signal conditioning circuits, switching matrices, and power distribution. Specify, select, and integrate commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) instrumentation (e.g., oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, arbitrary waveform generators, spectrum analyzers, data acquisition modules) with custom hardware via standards like PXI, VXI, LXI, GPIB, or Ethernet-based. Perform detailed electrical analyses, including power/loads analysis, signal integrity, EMC/EMI considerations, thermal management, and fault tolerance to ensure reliable operation in production or field environments. Design and troubleshoot interfaces for unit-under-test (UUT) stimulation and measurement, including analog/digital/RF signals, high-voltage/high-current paths, and sensor/actuator integration. Collaborate with software/test development teams to ensure seamless integration of hardware with test executives (e.g., NI TestStand, Python scripts, LabVIEW).

Support obsolescence management:

Research and qualify replacement COTS parts/hardware, perform risk assessments, and implement mitigations for legacy ATE systems. Drive design reviews (peer, PDR/CDR), present technical solutions, and mentor junior engineers/technicians. Debug and resolve complex issues in production test setups, reducing downtime and false failures; may involve on-site support for manufacturing lines.

Contribute to continuous improvement:

Optimize test time, cost, coverage, and yield; incorporate DFM/DFT best practices. Ensure compliance with industry standards (e.g., MIL-STD, IPC, safety/regulatory requirements) and company processes. #mfcnews #mfcgomac

Basic Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent professional experience. 12+ years of professional experience in electrical design with a strong focus on Automated Test Equipment (ATE) or similar test system development. Proven track record designing custom electrical hardware for ATE, including signal conditioning, switching, fixturing, and COTS integration. Ability to obtain a security clearance.
