Test Equipment Engineer – Electrical Measurements

We are looking for a Test Equipment Engineer with hands-on electrical measurement experience to develop, procure, set up, release and maintain hardware and software test systems for automotive electronics. You will use bench instrumentation to validate measurement setups, troubleshoot test equipment and support the transfer of prototype test methods to end-of-line production testing.

Key Responsibilities:

Test equipment development

• Review schematics, block diagrams and product test specifications to define measurement points, test conditions and hardware and software requirements.
• Design test setups and prepare equipment specifications. Reuse existing test solutions where practical.
• Develop the radio frequency (RF) test concept and the end-of-line (EOL) section of the production test specification.

Test equipment procurement

• Obtain quotations from internal and external suppliers, evaluate proposed solutions and support supplier selection.
• Coordinate procurement and track equipment delivery against budget, project milestones and quality requirements.

Test equipment setup and release

• Configure test systems using oscilloscopes, programmable power supplies, switching matrix cards and other measurement instruments.
• Develop and automate electrical measurement routines and functional test sequences.
• Perform voltage, current, timing and waveform measurements to verify that test setups produce repeatable results and meet test requirements.
• Validate, document and release test equipment for prototype, system and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing.

Maintenance and support

• Maintain, troubleshoot and update test hardware and software throughout the development lifecycle. Investigate unexpected readings to determine whether they originate from the product or the test setup.
• Verify that findings from prototype testing are reflected in the production test specification and hand over validated EOL test sequences to the production test team.

Requirements:

• At least 2 years of relevant experience in electronics test equipment development or support, including hands-on electrical measurements using bench instrumentation.
• Strong practical experience using oscilloscopes and programmable power supplies to measure and troubleshoot electronic circuits. Familiarity with switching matrix cards and radio communication testers is desirable.
• Ability to read electronic schematics, identify measurement points and interpret readings and waveforms against specifications.
• Experience with test equipment or platforms such as Keysight instruments or NI PXI, and practical programming or test automation experience using C, C#, LabVIEW or TestStand.
• Practical knowledge of communication interfaces such as CAN, LIN, K-Line, Ethernet, SPI and I²C.
• Knowledge of electronics manufacturing and electronic control unit (ECU) production processes, with a basic understanding of embedded and automotive systems.
• Strong troubleshooting and communication skills, with experience working across the development lifecycle and collaborating with international, cross-functional teams.
