About The Position

At Watkins Wellness, our products are designed to perform reliably for years in real-world environments. As a Test Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in making that happen. In this role, you’ll translate product and system requirements into robust test strategies that validate performance, reliability, and durability over the full product lifecycle. You’ll design and execute test protocols, build and automate test systems, and analyze results that directly influence product quality and engineering decisions. This is a hands-on, lab-focused role where you’ll collaborate closely with engineers and lab technicians, develop innovative test methods, and turn complex data into clear, actionable insights for audiences with varying levels of technical expertise. If you enjoy building test systems, solving problems through data, and seeing your work directly impact product reliability, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful and visible impact.

Responsibilities

Capture product and system requirements and translate them into comprehensive test requirements and protocols that validate long-term performance and reliability.
Design, develop, and maintain test systems, including automation and robotics, to support component- and system-level testing.
Develop and calibrate accelerated life and reliability tests (HALT/HASS, ALT) to simulate years of real-world use and environmental exposure.
Initiate and oversee test execution, working closely with lab technicians to prioritize work, optimize resources, and ensure accurate, repeatable results.
Manage, analyze, and interpret large volumes of test data using advanced Excel skills, databases, and reporting tools to identify trends, risks, and failure modes.
Configure and integrate control and data acquisition solutions using platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PLCs, and test instrumentation.
Maintain thorough documentation, test reports, and due diligence records, potentially within PLM or test management systems.
Present detailed test results and recommendations to engineers, cross-functional partners, and stakeholders with both technical and non-technical backgrounds.
Evaluate field and warranty data, partner with internal and external engineering teams, and support root cause analysis of component and system failures.
Manage several concurrent test engineering projects, coordinating in-house and external resources as needed.
