Test Engineer - PCBA Production Test
About The Position
The Test Engineer will be a member of the HAV Operations team, responsible for testing and validating board- and chassis-level hardware for Siemens Emulation and Prototyping systems. The role works closely with hardware design and factory test teams to develop efficient test processes across board and system levels, from new product introduction (NPI) through production. The engineer develops test methodologies, specifications, automation, and fixtures; defines functional test coverage and pass/fail criteria with cross-functional teams; and verifies hardware against functional, performance, and reliability requirements. The role also supports production troubleshooting, failure analysis, yield monitoring, and factory infrastructure across multiple manufacturing sites. Overseas travel is estimated at 10% of the time.
Requirements
- Master's or bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- At least 3 years of overall experience in PCBA production testing and system integration testing.
- Experience developing test automation using Python or Shell.
- Experience working in data center and networking environments, including Linux systems and deployment, and build root images.
- Understanding of networking fundamentals, including PCIe, Ethernet, and TCP/IP.
- Familiarity with common laboratory equipment such as power supplies, oscilloscopes, signal generators, DMMs, and logic analyzers.
Nice To Haves
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
- Manufacturing experience for data center products in a Linux environment.
Responsibilities
- Develop assembly and test methodologies and plans for Siemens hardware products through NPI and production phases.
- Ensure accurate manufacturing and validation test coverage by identifying design gaps during development and screening manufacturing assembly defects before shipment.
- Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software teams in design reviews to define functional test coverage, pass/fail criteria, manufacturing test features, and system-level test requirements.
- Develop test methodologies and specifications to verify and validate hardware designs against functional, performance, and reliability requirements in development and production environments.
- Lead and drive projects to closure.
- Code bug fixes, deliver testing optimizations, and develop wrappers around binary images as needed.
- Engage early with cross-functional development teams to drive design-for-test (DFT) requirements.
- Research test and validation technologies to support efficient production-level testing.
- Work with design teams to develop PCBA test plans at board and system levels.
- Debug PCBA, fiber optics, Fireflies, high-speed interconnects, PCIe, and power electronics subsystems.
- Develop automation frameworks using Python, PERL, or Shell to create efficient, operator-friendly test interfaces.
- Develop test fixtures or perform design of experiments (DOE) for custom hardware.
- Perform failure analysis and troubleshoot hardware in a laboratory environment.
- Report and quantify test and yield data for production monitoring.
- Maintain factory test and network infrastructure supporting high-volume production across manufacturing sites.
- Travel overseas to support factory requirements, estimated at 10% of the time.
- Work flexibly in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
- Lift or move hardware weighing up to 25 lbs as needed.
Benefits
- Health and wellness benefits.
- Incentive compensation eligibility.
- Hybrid work arrangement.
