• Experience with ESS-related testing, such as thermal and vibration testing.
• Active security clearance or ability to obtain one.

Responsibilities

• Own production test activities and ensure production test flow.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex electrical issues found during testing.
• Maintain test capabilities across the manufacturing value stream, from system-level checkout and acceptance testing to component-level in-process validation.
• Improve and sustain test systems to increase automation, consistency, test coverage, and reduce total cycle time.
• 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.
• Determine root causes of product failures and recommend corrective actions (RCCA).
• Work with Design, Quality, and Manufacturing Engineering teams on customer returns and failure analysis.
• Contribute feedback to early-stage test design and test processes for new products (NPI).
• Analyze test data, document results, and prepare reports identifying defects and improvement areas.
• Collaborate with design engineers to recommend product enhancements based on test outcomes.
• Optimize test strategies to reduce test time without compromising quality.
• Maintain and calibrate test equipment to ensure precision and reliability.
• Identify opportunities to improve testing processes and methodologies.
• Execute testing as required.
