Component Test Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Execute component and subsystem tests (electro-mechanical, sensors, actuators, power, thermal/vibe screening as appropriate).
• Design and improve test fixtures and harnessing, including safe power-up procedures and instrumentation plans.
• Write clear test procedures, acceptance criteria, and data-logging requirements; maintain configuration/version records for test setups.
• Collect, sanity-check, and summarize test data (plots, pass/fail, anomalies); support root cause investigations and re-test loops.
• Coordinate with design engineers and technicians to prioritize test queues and unblock builds with fast, credible feedback.
• Support environmental and reliability thinking (what could fail, how to provoke it safely, what signals prove it).

Job requirements

• BS in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace Engineering (or similar) with internship/project experience in labs.
• Comfortable with basic test equipment (power supplies, DMMs, oscilloscopes, DAQ, sensors) and careful documentation.
• Strong attention to detail and a bias for repeatable setups and clean data.
• Able to communicate results clearly to engineers and non-test stakeholders.
