Electrical Test Engineer

Job Title: Electrical Test Engineer

Job Location: Cupertino, CA -Onsite

Job Description:


Key Responsibilities
• TestBench Setup & Validation
o Design, assemble, and maintain EE test benches for board bring-up, characterization, and regression.
o Create test schematics/block diagrams; manage signal integrity, power distribution, grounding, and measurement paths.
o Configure test environments for analog, power, RF (if applicable), and digital subsystems.
• Lab Tools & Instrumentation
o Operate and automate oscilloscopes, SMUs, DMMs, power supplies, electronic loads, spectrum/network analyzers, signal generators, thermal chambers, and DAQs.
o Use lab software and interfaces (SCPI, VISA, GPIB, USB, LAN) to control instruments and log data.
o Calibrate and maintain lab equipment; enforce ESD and safety standards.
• Python Scripting & Test Metrics Plotting
o Develop Python scripts (e.g., pyvisa, numpy, pandas, matplotlib/seaborn) for data capture, analysis, and automated reporting.
o Generate test metrics and plots (time-domain, FFT, histograms, pass/fail summaries, trends, CPK, yield dashboards).
o Build reusable modules for test sequencing, data pipelines, and CI integration (e.g., CLI tools, JSON/CSV outputs).
• Test Plans & Execution
o Author and execute test plans, procedures, fixtures, and checklists aligned to requirements.
o Perform board bring-up, functional validation, characterization, and RCA for failures.
o Document results in clear reports with plots and recommendations; present to cross-functional stakeholders.
• Quality & Process
o Drive repeatability, traceability, and version control for test scripts and configurations (Git).
o Contribute to DFT/DFM/DFX feedback loops and continuous improvement of test coverage and throughput.


Required Qualifications
• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electrical/Electronics Engineering (or related).
• Hands-on EE test bench setup and board bring-up experience.
• Strong lab tools experience: oscilloscopes, PSUs, DMMs, SMUs, loads, analyzers; instrument automation via SCPI/VISA.
• Proficiency in Python for test automation and test metrics plotting (numpy, pandas, matplotlib/seaborn; Jupyter optional).
• Solid understanding of analog/digital fundamentals, power electronics basics, and measurement accuracy (BW, noise, resolution).
• Experience creating test reports and visualizations for engineering and management audiences
