What to Expect

The ideal candidate is a highly motivated
Test Engineer who thrives on deploying, sustaining, and improving manufacturing
test equipment. You will own test hardware and software performance for
remanufacturing operations-driving uptime, cycle time, and first-pass yield
while debugging electrical, controls, and software issues. You bring hands-on
technical depth, clear communication, and a can-do attitude in a fast-paced
environment where creative problem-solving and real ownership are
expected.


What You'll Do

  • Deploy,validate, and
    sustain manufacturing test equipment for remanufacturing production
    lines
  • Design and improve test
    equipment hardware (mechanical and electrical) with emphasis on safety,
    serviceability, and robust connections
  • Develop,maintain,
    andoptimizeproduction test software to improve coverage,
    reliability, and operational efficiency
  • Lead uptime, cycle time, and
    first-pass yield improvements on test equipment (hardware reliability,
    software faults, maintenance readiness)
  • Troubleshoot and debug
    electrical, controls, and software issues; support 24/7 operations as
    needed during ramp and sustain
  • Collaborate with
    manufacturing, process, quality, controls, and maintenance engineering so
    test equipment meets production expectations
  • Partner with product and
    process design teams to define test specifications that balance yield,
    quality, and line rate
  • Perform proactive data
    analysis on tester and product results; translate findings into clear
    actions for technical and non-technical audiences
  • Identifytechnical risk
    early; prototype fixtures, methods, and instrumentation to mitigate issues
    before they hit production
  • Document designs, procedures,
    qualifications, and handoffs so equipment can beoperatedand
    sustained without tribal knowledge

    industrial communication protocols (e.g., CAN, Modbus, RS-232/SPI) and
    interpreting bus traces
  • Hands-on with electrical
    tools (DMM, oscilloscope, power supplies) and practical skills in wiring,
    instrumentation, assembly, and modification
  • Solid understanding of
    production equipment design concerns: operator safety, usability,
    serviceability, and ruggedness
  • Ability to work under
    pressure, manage competing priorities, and communicate clearly across
    engineering and operations
  • Willingness to support
    production operations outside standard hours when equipment or launch
    critical path requires it
