About The Position

The Quality Test Technician builds and runs hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test systems to replace manual hardware testing across Moultrie’s cellular cameras, game feeders, and related products. The role converts existing manual test suites into automated fixtures and scripts and maintains reliable systems for development products, current product lines, and competitive benchmarking.

The technician designs fixtures, writes test code, and reports findings clearly to engineers and management. They work with hardware and software engineers, product managers, and ODM partners to keep testing consistent, thorough, and repeatable. The role requires self-direction, attention to detail, the ability to follow, document, and create procedures, and the ability to adapt to new programming languages, tools, and products while managing multiple projects.

Requirements

• High school diploma or GED.
• 1–2 years of experience in PC-based programming, consumer electronics testing, or a related field.
• Working experience with Python.
• Solid understanding of electronics and circuitry.
• Ability to follow, document, and create test procedures.
• Ability to work flexible hours.
• At least one year of experience with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Nice To Haves

• Associate degree in Technology, Electronics, or a related field.
• 2–4 years of experience in consumer electronics testing, software programming, or a related field.
• Experience building or maintaining automated or hardware-in-the-loop test systems.
• Experience with microcontroller development boards such as Arduino, Teensy, and Adafruit, and lab instruments such as multimeters, power supplies, and oscilloscopes.
• Familiarity with verification methods, testing, and troubleshooting processes.
• Experience with 3D printing and basic CAD for fixture design.
• Passion for the outdoors.
• Ability to work independently and within a team.

Responsibilities

• Convert manual hardware test suites into automated hardware-in-the-loop tests, prioritizing high-volume and repetitive tests.
• Write and maintain PC-side test scripts in Python or other languages to control fixtures, operate devices under test, and capture results.
• Design, wire, and assemble test fixtures using development boards such as Arduino, Teensy, and Adafruit, along with relays, power supplies, and instruments.
• Develop wiring diagrams and program layouts for fixtures.
• 3D-print fixture components and perform basic electrical work, including soldering and low-voltage circuit wiring.
• Test electronic devices for functionality, standards compliance, and performance across development, production, and competitive products.
• Verify product specifications against automated and, where required, manual test results.
• Troubleshoot bugs and validate fixes in firmware, apps, and hardware releases.
• Investigate nuisance and intermittent issues to help ODM partners identify root causes.
• Monitor automated test runs for failures, flaky tests, and coverage gaps, and drive improvements.
• Perform routine maintenance and calibration of test benches, fixtures, equipment, instruments, and the lab.
• Write and update detailed procedures for automated and manual tests as fixtures change.
• Record test results and produce clear reports for engineers, product managers, and management.
• Track the amount of manual testing retired and the test time saved.
