We bring together engineers, creators, and innovators who push the boundaries of what’s possible - from cutting-edge FPV systems to advanced Remote Reality solutions, and toward the next generation of robotics. And behind every great technology, there’s great organization.\nWe are looking for a Hardware Test Engineer specializing in PCBA manufacturing and Design for Testability (DFT).\nIn this role, you will be the bridge between our R&D hardware design team and our manufacturing partners. You will ensure our boards are optimized for high-yield production by designing, implementing, and debugging test strategies-including In-Circuit Testing (ICT), Flying Probe, and Functional Testing (FCT).\nWHAT YOU’LL DO\nDrive DFT Reviews: Analyze schematics and PCB layouts in Altium/Cadence during early design phases to ensure proper test point coverage, physical clearance, and JTAG boundary scan capabilities\n\nDevelop Test Fixtures: Own the deployment of ICT \"bed-of-nails\" fixtures and Flying Probe routines with our manufacturing partners\n\nAutomate & Program: Write and maintain test scripts (Python, LabVIEW, or C) for Functional Test (FCT) environments to automate instrument control (power supplies, DMMs, scopes)\n\nRoot-Cause Failures: Diagnose production line failures down to the component level, distinguishing between manufacturing defects (solder bridges, tombstoning) and design flaws\n\nYield Optimization: Analyze test data to identify failure trends, reduce cycle times, and minimize false-failure rates on the line\n\nWHAT WE EXPECT\nB.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field\n\n3+ years of experience in PCBA testing, production support, or hardware validation\n\nDeep familiarity with test methodologies: ICT, Flying Probe and JTAG/Boundary Scan\n\nHands-on lab skills: Oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, and soldering\n\nStrong understanding of manufacturing standards (IPC-A-610)\n\nWHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE \nOur office is a drone testing playground, and every day starts with an idea no one has tried before. We move fast, learn constantly, and foster a culture of innovation. With flexible working hours, real hands-on testing, and a team that challenges the limits of technology, working at Orqa means working on the edge of what’s possible.\nAnd that’s just the beginning - here are a few more reasons why you’ll love working at Orqa:\nPerformance-based bonuses\n\nMeal and transportation compensation\n\nKindergarten expenses coverage and newborn bonus\n\nInternal workshops & lectures\n\nCareer development & growth opportunities within a fast-scaling tech environment\n\nExtra vacation days\n\nOn-site massages - our professional masseur regularly visits the office to help you recharge\n\nPassSport Card - access to gyms and wellness centers\n\nComprehensive annual health check-up\n\nEngaging internal events & team-building activities\n\nIf you're passionate about PCBA testing, hardware validation, and Design for Testability, and enjoy turning complex board designs into reliable, high-yield real-world products - we'd love to hear from you.\nWe’re proud to be an equal-opportunity employer and are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and supportive workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3391,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Growth opportunities"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Consumer Electronics","Drones & UAVs","Drones"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-11T18:22:59Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":39,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/orqa-seniormid-hardware-test-dft-engineer-pcba","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/orqa-seniormid-hardware-test-dft-engineer-pcba.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T17:36:06Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":28289,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":55754},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=55754"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Forqa-seniormid-hardware-test-dft-engineer-pcba"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Forqa-seniormid-hardware-test-dft-engineer-pcba"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Forqa-seniormid-hardware-test-dft-engineer-pcba"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/orqa-seniormid-hardware-test-dft-engineer-pcba\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Forqa-seniormid-hardware-test-dft-engineer-pcba"}]}
