THE ROLE

You will own and manage our test lab environment, ensuring it is safe, efficient, and optimized for rapid hardware and/or software validation. This includes day-to-day lab management, equipment and tool administration, and inventory control for test assets, boards, components, and instrumentation. You will work closely with engineering teams to support product bring-up, validation, and ongoing test activities, making sure they have the right equipment, setups, and processes to execute high-quality testing on schedule.

THE PERSON

You are enthusiastic, hands‑on, and highly motivated by solving practical engineering problems in a lab environment. You enjoy pushing the limits of the lab’s capabilities—finding creative, resourceful ways to extend existing tools, automate repetitive tasks, and improve throughput and reliability. You are organized, detail‑oriented, and comfortable juggling multiple priorities, while still maintaining rigorous standards for safety, documentation, and quality. You collaborate well with design, validation, and operations teams, and you communicate clearly about constraints, risks, and needs.

• Inventory & Asset Management
  • Maintain accurate inventory of boards, components, fixtures, instruments, and consumables using an asset‑tracking system.
  • Implement and enforce processes for check‑in/check‑out of lab assets and test equipment.
  • Manage ordering, receiving, labeling, and storage of test hardware, cables, connectors, and other materials.
  • Track usage and lifecycle of key assets to support capacity planning and budget recommendations.
• Support for Engineering Teams
  • Provide hands‑on support for board bring‑up, system integration
• Documentation & Process Improvement
  • Create and maintain lab documentation, including equipment lists
  • Shipment of inventory between sites.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience in a hardware or system test environment, ideally within semiconductors, embedded systems, or electronics manufacturing.
• Hands‑on experience with common lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, DMMs, protocol analyzers, and signal generators.
• Demonstrated experience managing lab infrastructure and inventory, including asset tracking tools and basic procurement workflows.
• Experience working in cross‑functional engineering teams and supporting multiple stakeholders with competing priorities.
• Knowledge of ESD handling, lab safety standards, and best practices for handling sensitive electronic components.

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
