About The Position

As a Camera Test Engineer, you will ensure systems are tested to stringent standards and that high-quality products are consistently shipped to customers. You will develop creative solutions to difficult testing problems and continuously improve automation, throughput, user interfaces, and data analytics. The role requires a record of success on fast-paced, highly technical, interdisciplinary teams and effective communication across teams to resolve production issues.

You will own production test activities and maintain test capabilities throughout the manufacturing value stream, from system-level checkout and acceptance testing to component-level in-process validation. The role includes hands-on troubleshooting of infrared systems, developing and maintaining test automation software and analytics, training technicians, creating work instructions and troubleshooting references, analyzing failures and test data, and collaborating with Design, Quality, and Manufacturing Engineering on failure analysis, customer returns, product improvements, and new product introduction test processes.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Electrical/Electronics, Computer, or Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of relevant industry experience, emphasizing manufacturing test and product sustainment.
• Experience with data acquisition and processing using MATLAB, Python, or other programming languages.
• Experience with test automation and report generation.
• Strong root cause analysis skills for non-conforming hardware, software, and firmware.
• Excellent written, verbal, interpersonal, and communication skills.
• Experience working on projects integrating electrical, opto-mechanical, and software/firmware systems.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Nice To Haves

• Knowledge of infrared systems, including performance requirements and verification methodologies.
• Experience with cryogenic testing equipment.
• Familiarity with test equipment such as power supplies, electronic loads, thermal chambers, function generators, spectrum analyzers, data acquisition systems, and measurement sensors.
• Experience with computer hardware communication protocols such as USB, Ethernet, RS232, RS485, PCIe, HDMI, and CAN.

Responsibilities

• Own production test activities and ensure production test flow.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex infrared systems issues found during testing.
• Maintain test capabilities throughout the manufacturing value stream, including system-level checkouts, acceptance testing, and component-level in-process validation.
• Generate test work instructions for technicians in MES.
• Train technicians on equipment use as required.
• Develop a library of common failure modes with troubleshooting guides and diagrams.
• Maintain and develop software for test automation, data analytics, and report generation.
• Determine root causes of product failures and recommend corrective actions (RCCA).
• Work with Design, Quality, and Manufacturing Engineering teams to support customer returns and failure analysis.
• Provide feedback on early-stage test design for processes supporting new product introduction (NPI).
• Analyze test data, document results, and provide detailed reports identifying defects and improvement areas.
• Collaborate with design engineers on product enhancements based on test outcomes.
• Optimize test strategies to improve efficiency and effectiveness and reduce test time without compromising quality.
• Maintain and calibrate test equipment for precision and reliability.
• Identify opportunities to improve testing processes and methodologies.
