Principal Manufacturing Test Engineer
Job description
The ideal candidate brings 10+ years of experience designing, deploying, and scaling manufacturing test systems for complex electromechanical products — including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, in-line functional test, and parametric data collection. You should have a track record of standing up test operations from scratch, driving multi-generational test strategy across product iterations, and influencing product architecture decisions to improve testability. This role demands strategic thinking, deep technical credibility, and the ability to align cross-functional teams — engineering, validation, software, manufacturing, and quality — around a unified test philosophy that scales.
Job requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline.
- 10+ years of manufacturing test engineering experience for electromechanical or robotic products, including experience spanning both NPI/prototype and high-volume production environments.
- Experience owning manufacturing test strategy for a new product introduction (NPI) from concept through volume production.
- Hands-on experience developing and deploying in-line and end-of-line functional test systems, including test sequence creation, pass/fail criteria definition, and parametric/SPC data collection.
- Proficiency in test software/frameworks (e.g., LabVIEW, NI TestStand, Python-based test automation or custom solutions) and DAQ/instrumentation specification.
- Demonstrated experience architecting test data pipelines for dashboarding and analytics — structured data formats, schemas, and traceability frameworks designed for consumption, not just storage.
- Demonstrated ability to create clarity from ambiguity — defining test strategy, frameworks, and decision criteria for cross-functional teams.
- Ability to influence at a senior level across engineering, validation, quality, and manufacturing leadership.
