Test Design & Execution: Design, develop, and execute comprehensive hardware, software, and system-level integration tests. Build test fixtures, develop automated test scripts, and validate systems under edge-case conditions. Specs & Requirements: Translate high-level product needs into detailed system requirements and engineering specifications for the electrical and integration domains. Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as the central technical hub, collaborating closely with Hardware, Software, Operations, Service, Manufacturing, and Product teams. Ensure seamless handoffs from prototype to high-volume manufacturing and field deployment. Program Management & Driving Actions: Manage integration and testing timelines. Track outstanding issues, drive cross-functional action items to closure, and hold stakeholders accountable to ensure project milestones are met on schedule. What You Bring: Education: BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, Robotics, or a related field. Experience: 5+ years of industry experience in systems integration, test engineering, or a related role within robotics, automotive, aerospace, or complex electromechanical products. Electrical Expertise: Deep understanding of electrical fundamentals, power distribution, motor controllers, sensors, and PCBA troubleshooting. Hands-on proficiency with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers). Hardware/Software Integration: Proven ability to troubleshoot at the boundary of hardware and software. Familiarity with communication protocols (CAN, EtherCAT, Ethernet, RS-485, I2C, SPI). Testing & Automation: Strong experience designing test plans and writing automation scripts (Python strongly preferred) to execute system-level validation. Program Management Skills: Demonstrated ability to manage complex technical projects, track bugs (e.g., Jira), and drive interdisciplinary teams toward resolution. Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly present complex technical failure analyses to both engineering peers and leadership. Bonus Points: Experience in the logistics, supply chain, or warehouse automation industry. Previous experience transitioning complex hardware products from NPI (New Product Introduction) into high-volume manufacturing. Familiarity with functional safety standards and reliability testing (HALT/HASS). Compensation $160,000 - $190,000/year The above range is the salary range. This position will also receive generous equity for this position! Culture: We embrace challenges and strive to make the impossible possible each day.
