About the Role

The Engineer, Test Development designs, develops and implements automatic test equipment and test programs for product testing and design verification to ensure robust and high-quality assembled products in manufacturing. Test Development engineers may specialize in Structural (verification of assembly process elements and interconnects) or Functional (verification that a design performs its main purpose) testing.

Responsibilities

• Work independently to develop technical solutions in specific technical fields and solve complex problems in cooperation with other engineers.
• Attend and interact in technical customer meetings.
• Provide high-level test hardware and software solution architecture.
• Review equipment data sheets and select appropriate equipment based on requirements.
• Support creation of structural or functional test strategy and test plan to meet project goals and requirements.
• Support creation of technical proposals with costed BOM and hours estimates.
• Research and comprehend relevant product technologies and associated skills.
• Develop production test strategies based on product design specifications.
• Design and develop test solutions including hardware and software elements, then perform system integration, qualification, and installation to meet product, quality and test requirements.
• Debug tester issues using design of experiments, tools, and failure analysis methodologies.
• Execute validation/qualification requirements applying statistical and common industry methods.
• Stabilize test solutions for manufacturing, optimizing with process teams with focus on cycle time and yield.
• Work with product design teams to provide feedback on testability, test coverage, diagnosability, reparability, firmware/diagnostics and user experience.
