• Build a broad range of test capabilities across the manufacturing value stream - from system level checkouts and acceptance testing to key component level in process validation
• Develop, execute, and manage test eco-system to de-risk hardware and ensure product meets target reliability levels and ultimate design intent
• Perform hands-on and data-driven root cause analysis of electromechanical subsystems utilizing structured problem solving methodologies
• Design and implement semi-automated testing equipment/protocols for subsystem characterization and reliability/environmental testing
• Collaborate with the design/systems team throughout product development cycles to perform risk assessments, maintain ownership of test deployment activities in production, oversee technician training, burn down bug fixes/improvements as needed
• Produce and maintain testing logs/data, develop library of error codes with troubleshooting logic/diagrams for fast issue resolution
• Generate controlled test instructions that can be easily followed by technician team in MES or other test execution systems
• Optimize test design and execution of full system “end of line” factory acceptance test (FAT) of AUVs
• Design and execution of PCBA and electrical system components with hands on testing and rework as necessary

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electro-Mechanical, EE/Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent work experience
• Experience in hardware testing and automated test systems (LabVIEW, Test Stand, etc.)
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Matlab, SHELL, or others
• Experience with computer hardware communication protocols: USB, Ethernet, RS232, RS485, PCIe, HDMI, CAN, etc
• 3+ years of experience in a relevant field, preferably test design of electro-mechanical hardware in a manufacturing environment
• Are well versed with complex electromechanical systems and are passionate about understanding what it takes to make them work reliably
• Have experience developing full system test plans and know how to execute them on fast-paced product development timelines
• Have experience with programming/testing a wide range of sensors, actuators, and electrical components
• Can prototype and run your own tests, from experimental setup to hardware and software implementation
• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in sub-sea robotics or AUV/UUV industries
• Familiar with Product Life Cycle (PLM) systems, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), and Test Execution Systems (TES)
• Demonstrated ability to learn new skills or adapt to new situations. Un-phased by challenges that go beyond the traditional comfort zone or work experience. Multidisciplinary approach to problem solving
• Comfortable with high project ownership under technical and schedule pressure, particularly where the scope and definition are limited
• Experience testing and operating with or around hazardous systems (high voltage up to 400V)
• Experience working on projects that involve the integration of electrical, mechanical, and software/firmware systems
