Senior Hardware Test Engineer
- Verification of Requirements: Map product and engineering requirements to verifiable test cases. Ensure every critical performance, safety, and durability metric is physically validated against the specification document.
- Design of Test Plans: Architect comprehensive Design Verification Test (DVT) plans spanning the entire hardware hierarchy. Define the test methodology for individual components (e.g., gears, PCBs), sub-assemblies (e.g., actuators, sensor suites), and the fully integrated humanoid system.
- Design and Development of Test Fixtures: Design, build, and commission custom electromechanical test fixtures. Integrate load cells, dynamometers, slip rings, and custom DAQ systems to isolate and stress specific hardware interfaces.
- Test Execution: Lead the hands-on execution of structural, thermal, mechatronic, and environmental test profiles. Write Python or C++ scripts to automate continuous life-cycle and fatigue testing.
- Data Acquisition (DAQ) & Analysis: Architect DAQ systems to capture high-frequency test data. Perform rigorous statistical analysis on the output to confirm design margins and predict component life expectancies.
- Root Cause Analysis: Drive cross-functional root-cause investigations when hardware fails verification testing. Utilize physical teardowns and data analysis to identify the fundamental failure mechanisms.
- DFMEA & Cross-Functional Influence: Participate in Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) sessions. Provide immediate, empirical feedback to the Mechanical and Electrical design teams to force design iterations before tooling release.
- Industry Background: Proven track record in hardware-heavy industries requiring complex systems integration (e.g., robotics, aerospace, automotive, or advanced medical devices).
- Mechatronic Testing: Deep practical experience verifying the performance of BLDC motors, complex drivetrains, wire harnesses, and structural chassis components.
- Test Equipment Mastery: Expert proficiency with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, thermal chambers, vibration tables, and DAQ platforms like National Instruments/LabVIEW or Beckhoff).
- Scripting & CAD: Strong proficiency in Python or MATLAB for test automation and data parsing. Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks or NX) for designing complex physical test fixtures.
- Requirements Traceability: Experience using requirements management tools (e.g., Jama, Polarion, JIRA) to maintain clear traceability from a top-level requirement down to the physical test result.
- Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in hardware design verification testing.
- Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field with
- Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer
- Must be able to lift 15 pounds at times
- Vision to read printed materials and a computer screen
- Hearing and speech to communicate
- This is a direct hire. Please, no outside Agency solicitations.
