Mechatronics Engineer, Production Test

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Build electrical and functional testers that integrate harnessing, DAQ, sensors, actuators, power systems, safety interlocks, and mechanical fixtures.
• Own production testers and calibration stations from requirements through internal or vendor build, installation, validation, release, and sustainment.
• Define test coverage, pass/fail limits, golden units, GR&R, capability targets, and release criteria with design, firmware, quality, and operations partners.
• Implement test automation and data pipelines for repeatable execution, logging, MES/MFG integration, and production dashboards.
• Troubleshoot PCBA failures, tester instability, fixture issues, software defects, and product/tester correlation failures on the factory floor.
• Improve first-pass yield, false-fail rate, cycle time, uptime, and utilization; set targets and report progress monthly.
• Coordinate vendor builds, FAT/SAT, qualification, training, calibration, spares, and change control.
• Standardize tester interfaces and automation to reduce operator steps and touch time; maintain procedures, validation records, and maintenance plans for traceable production.
