What the job involves Saronic is seeking an Electrical Test Engineer to support the development and execution of electrical test plans across vehicle and subsystem programs

• This role is responsible for executing verification activities aligned with the engineering design process, developing and maintaining automated test equipment (ATE), and working cross-functionally to ensure electrical designs are thoroughly validated prior to release
• The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in electrical validation and test development, and is excited to work in a fast-paced hardware environment supporting complex electromechanical systems
• Develop and execute structured test plans in accordance with the engineering design process (requirements → design → verification → validation)
• Translate system and subsystem requirements into test cases and procedures
• Perform electrical verification testing at board, subsystem, and system levels
• Execute functional, regression, environmental, and reliability testing
• Document test procedures, results, and deviations clearly and accurately
• Support root cause analysis and troubleshooting of electrical failures
• Assist in the design, build, and maintenance of automated test equipment for PCBAs, harnesses, power systems, and integrated assemblies
• Develop and maintain automated test scripts using Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, or similar tools
• Integrate lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, DAQs, power supplies, loads, etc.) into automated test systems
• Design and support development of test fixtures to improve repeatability and efficiency
• Contribute to improvements in test automation, data collection, and reporting
• Work closely with electrical, mechanical, firmware, systems, and manufacturing engineers to ensure designs are testable and properly validated
• Participate in design reviews and provide input on testability and verification coverage
• Collaborate with technicians to execute testing and refine procedures
• Support the transition of engineering validation tests into production environments when needed
• Assist with troubleshooting and validation of fielded hardware
• Maintain accurate and organized test documentation and version control
• Contribute to lab infrastructure improvements and best practices
• Support continuous improvement of test methodologies and data analysis approaches
• Ensure compliance with relevant safety and quality standards
