Senior Electrical Engineer, Hardware in the Loop
About The Position
As an Senior Electrical Engineer focused on Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), you will design, build, and automate test platforms that allow us to validate our hardware, firmware, and software together in realistic, integrated environments. You’ll work across disciplines to create regression tests that exercise real hardware through power supplies, function generators, source meters, and other lab equipment—catching integration issues before they reach the machine. You’ll own the development of HIL testbeds and infrastructure, enabling system-level acceptance and qualification campaigns. By combining hands-on lab work with automation and data analysis, you’ll accelerate our ability to test complex electrical systems with confidence and repeatability, ensuring the reliability of the fusion machine at scale. You will report to the Manager of Electrical Engineering and this is an onsite role located at our Everett, WA office.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- Strong programming experience in Python, including test automation frameworks.
- Experience using PyVISA or similar libraries to control lab instrumentation.
- Hands-on experience with lab equipment: power supplies, function generators, oscilloscopes, source meters, etc.
- Familiarity with unit testing frameworks and automated regression testing.
- Linux experience for development, scripting, and test environment management.
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills across hardware/software boundaries.
- Ability to collaborate closely with cross-disciplinary engineering teams.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testbeds and supporting infrastructure.
- Automate hardware test systems to support regression testing of integrated electrical hardware.
- Control and automate lab equipment (power supplies, function generators, source meters, oscilloscopes).
- Develop test scripts and frameworks to enable repeatable, automated execution of test campaigns.
- Work closely with hardware, firmware, and software engineers to define test requirements and integrate HIL setups into development workflows.
- Run acceptance and qualification test campaigns at an integrated system level.
- Troubleshoot and debug across hardware, software, and test automation boundaries.
- Document testbed architectures, test procedures, and results for traceability and knowledge sharing.
Benefits
- Medical, Dental, and Vision plans for employees and their families
