Senior Test Engineering

The Test Engineer / Senior Test Engineering Technician is responsible for the design, development, validation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of electronic production test solutions within a regulated EMS manufacturing environment supporting Medical Device, Aerospace & Defense, and Industrial customers. This hybrid role combines hands-on test system execution and floor support, test architecture development and validation ownership, regulatory documentation discipline, and root cause leadership for test-related quality issues. The position serves as the site-level technical authority for production test while remaining actively engaged in daily test operations. Must be eligible to work in compliance with

U.S. ITAR

regulations, including access to export-controlled information. Core Responsibilities Test Architecture & Development Develop and improve functional test (FCT), ICT, Flying Probe, and system-level test solutions. Define test coverage requirements in collaboration with Engineering and Quality. Participate in DFM/DFT reviews during NPI. Assist in fixture design and electrical interface development. Develop or modify test software (LabVIEW, TestStand, Python, or equivalent). Production Test Ownership Provide real-time support for production test failures. Troubleshoot digital and analog circuits, power systems, communication interfaces, and fixture hardware. Differentiate product failure versus test system false failure. Reduce retest and false failure rates. Monitor test performance metrics (FPY, retest %, downtime). Regulatory & Validation Responsibility Author and maintain test procedures, setup documentation, preventive maintenance records, and calibration tracking. Support or lead

Continuous Improvement & Yield Enhancement Drive improvements in First Pass Yield, test cycle time, fixture reliability, and test uptime. Identify automation opportunities with ROI mindset. Support Lean manufacturing initiatives. Data & Traceability Ensure test data integrity and retention. Support traceability requirements for regulated programs. Assist in test data analysis for trend monitoring. Support CUI-sensitive environments where applicable. Required Qualifications Associate degree in Electronics, Mechatronics, Engineering Technology OR Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field OR equivalent military/industry experience. 4-8+ years of experience in electronics manufacturing test environment. Strong troubleshooting skills (analog and digital). Ability to read schematics and interpret specifications. Key Competencies Hands-on technical depth. Structured problem solving. Documentation discipline. Comfort operating in high-mix / low-volume production. Ability to scale from bench work to system-level thinking. Audit-ready mindset. Performance Metrics First Pass Yield improvement. Test downtime reduction. False failure rate reduction. Zero major audit findings related to test documentation and control. On-time implementation of ECO-driven test changes. Support of On-Time Delivery (OTD) performance. Preferred Qualifications Experience in ISO 13485 and/or AS9100 environments. Experience developing or modifying automated test scripts. Experience with LabVIEW, TestStand, Boundary Scan, NI or Keysight platforms. IPC certification. Experience in Medical or Aerospace & Defense electronics.
