Benefits:

Competitive salary and equity
Flexible vacation policy
Collaborative and dynamic work environment
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology in a cross-functional team

Preferred Qualifications:

Working with mechatronics systems and testing.
Basic CAD for fixtures and bench mechanics — CATIA, Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, or similar.
Experience with automated test stations (automated test equipment) in a production or validation environment.

Required Qualifications:

BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering
5+ years of hands-on lab experience with precision hardware for device bring-up, system validation, or failure analysis
A solid general physics foundation — optics, electronics, mechanics, thermal
Working programming skills: able to understand and debug scripts in Python, C/C++, Bash, or MATLAB. Handling large datasets through code is a must.
Laser safety, ESD, and cleanroom discipline as second nature.
Schematic, layout, and datasheet fluency

What You'll Do:

Own day-to-day operation of the automated test benches: prepare setups, DUT handling, perform calibrations, and bench health checks
Run test campaigns end to end and produce clean, fully traceable results — every measurement tied to its bench configuration and unit under test.
Design tests and test setups: choose the method, the instruments, and the measurement approach that verify the requirement at hand.
Design and redesign test benches: mechanical layout, fixtures, wiring, instrument selection, and validation of the new setup.
Debug hardware/firmware interactions using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers
Perform signal and power integrity measurements; identify noise and crosstalk sources
Establish and maintain the lab’s communication infrastructures: instruments, benches, and computers connected and exchanging data reliably.
Keep the lab running with your own hands: solder and rework boards, build cables and harnesses, and debug bench electronics.
Take complex test processes apart, understand every test step and the physics behind, and intervene to optimize the process — cycle time, measurement quality, repeatability, yield.
Judge measurement health in real time: spot drift, bad fixtures, or suspect data before it contaminates a dataset.
Support new bench bring-up, pilot runs, and acceptance of new setups.
