Responsibilities
- Build a broad range of test capabilities across the manufacturing value stream
- 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, implement and maintain semi-automated testing equipment/protocols for subsystem characterization and testing
- Diagnose production test issues hands-on as first point of contact for test technicians
- 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
- Degree in Software, Computer, Electrical, Mechatronic 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
- 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
- Can prototype and run your own tests, from experimental setup to hardware and software implementation
- Ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Government NV2 Security Clearance (Australian citizen)
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
- 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
- Experience with NixOS, or any declarative-configuration background (Ansible, Puppet, Chef)
- Test frameworks , pytest-based harnesses, LabVIEW, TestStand or equivalent
