Manufacturing Test Engineer

We are looking for a Manufacturing Test Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Quonset, RI. You will be responsible for developing and implementing high-fidelity, automated test procedures on both the component and system level.

In this role, you’ll work closely with engineering staff and a team of skilled electro-mechanical technicians to advance our testing capabilities to ensure the highest levels of quality are achieved as we continue drive scalability into our production operations.

Key responsibilities include:

• Building 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.
• Developing, executing, and managing test eco-system to de-risk hardware and ensure product meets target reliability levels and ultimate design intent.
• Performing hands-on and data-driven root cause analysis of electromechanical subsystems utilizing structured problem solving methodologies.
• Designing and implementing semi-automated testing equipment/protocols for subsystem characterization and reliability/environmental testing.
• Collaborating 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.
• Producing and maintaining testing logs/data, develop library of error codes with troubleshooting logic/diagrams for fast issue resolution.
• Generating controlled test processes that can be easily followed by technician team in MES or other test execution systems.

Required qualifications include:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent work experience.
• Experience in hardware testing and automated test systems.
• 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.
• Well-versed with complex electromechanical systems and passionate about understanding what it takes to make them work reliably.
• Experience developing full system test plans and know how to execute them on fast-paced product development timelines.
• Experience with programming/testing a wide range of sensors, actuators, and electrical components.
• Ability to prototype and run your own tests, from experimental setup to hardware and software implementation.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Experience in sub-sea robotics or AUV/UUV industries.
• Familiarity 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.
