Job Description Roles and Responsibilities Execute Test Strategies: Develop, prepare, and execute advanced test setups, diagnostic procedures, and complex experiments to rigorously evaluate hardware and software interactions. System-Level Troubleshooting: Perform advanced system-level troubleshooting across multiple variables to resolve intricate engineering issues and optimize performance. Leverage Advanced Tools: Utilize innovative diagnostic tools and modern technical frameworks to accelerate troubleshooting cycles and validate test procedures against real-world hardware performance. NPI Technical Leadership: Serve as the technical focal point for new product introductions (NPI), providing critical, actionable feedback to engineering and manufacturing teams. Quality & Compliance: Lead quality and compliance initiatives by identifying defect trends, managing concessions, and ensuring full regulatory alignment. Documentation & Lifecycle Support: Drive the development of comprehensive engineering, manufacturing, and service documentation to support full product lifecycle requirements. Technical Mentorship: Oversee technical communications and mentoring initiatives to upskill team members and elevate overall team capability. Project Execution: Manage complex, high-impact assignments with limited direction, consistently meeting rigorous project milestones and operational objectives. Required Education and Experience Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university or college (or equivalent knowledge/industry experience). Minimum of 4 years of professional technical experience in electronics systems, hardware testing, or product development. Minimum of 4 years of hands-on experience performing complex, system-level troubleshooting and executing diagnostic test procedures. Desired Skills Advanced, intuitive proficiency in system-level troubleshooting and root-cause analysis. Demonstrated proficiency in utilizing and modifying computerized work systems and engineering databases. Proven ability to draw accurate conclusions and independently coordinate the implementation of design or process corrections. High proficiency in interpreting, translating, and explaining complex technical information to diverse stakeholders. Excellent verbal and written communication skills with a strong collaborative mindset. Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously with limited direction and ambiguous initial information. Ongoing commitment to maintaining cutting-edge knowledge of current electronics and testing technology. Deep expertise in electronics lab test equipment (oscilloscopes, signal generators, DAQs) and advanced test methods. Proactive, solution-oriented approach to complex problem-solving and cross-functional team collaboration.
