Electrical Test Engineer

Torus•Salt Lake City, UT

4d•$100,000 - $130,000•Onsite

About The Position

The Electrical Test Engineer verifies our mission at the bench. You'll design, build and test the automated test systems that prove our electrical equipment works (1000v and lower). Energy storage, LV power distribution, grid-tied inverters, motor drives, and control panels all have to pass through your testing gauntlet before they leave our warehouse. Every product that ships has been thoroughly vetted by systems you designed and procedures you built. This role is based at GigaOne in Salt Lake City, on a growing team, working in an environment where your testing catches problems early and keeps quality relentless.

Proficient with Data Acquisition Systems (National Instruments preferred)
Understand PID control theory and state machines
Proficient in PLC programming, LabVIEW, Python, C/C++ or equivalent
Hands-on experience with electrical measurement tools (DMM, oscilloscope, power meters, etc.) and electrical assembly tools (wire striping/crimping, soldering, etc)
Experience using power tools (drill, Sawzall, etc.)
Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and problem-solving abilities.
Effective communication and teamwork skills
