POSITION SUMMARY: A Test Engineer designs, develops, and implements cost-effective methods that result in stable, controlled production test methods of multiple kW RF and DC power supplies. The purpose is to establish a test paradigm that will meet customer’s needs, meeting product specifications with well-documented test processes and data. The data and processes will result in production SPC control to keep product measurements and power control repeatable and cost effective.

ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES:

Ensure testability of new product designs, providing feedback to design teams addressing opportunities for defects in manufacturing and field use.
Accurately estimate project costs, production test and labor time as associated with implementing production test solutions.
Implement test flow and process into manufacturing that includes the software, databases and hardware for manufcaturing.
Create the test structure and flow of manufacturing, work with engineering to transition to production
Ability to implement SPC and provide databases and reporting infrastructure to customers and internally
Own the test requirements that will ensure the product will meet its end specification.
Prepares test and diagnostic programs in LabView and Matlab.
Lead MSA’s across multiple sites
Analyze test equipment capabilities and ensure control of critical parameters of products and test equipment.
Works with diagrams, layouts and electrical circuit schematics to develop test procedures that will catch failures, ensure reliability and accuracy of RF and DC power supplies.
Performs operational test and fault isolation on electrical systems and equipment.
Work with engineering teams in Asia and the US.

WORK ENVIRONMENT:

Regularly works in a lab and/or manufacturing/service facilities. Occasional travel to international locations.

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE:

Bachelor Degree in Engineering or Science with at least 5 year(s) relevant experience
Greater than 5 years of relevant design/development team and/or manufacturing support.
Proven ability to methodically solve complex, technical issues.
Must have strong problem-solving attributes.
Able to operate a electrical test equipment – oscilloscopes, DVM, electrical power measurent, spectrum analyzers.
Capable in hardware and software development.
Strong at communicating with and influencing design teams, vendors, and customers.
Demonstrated proficency in NI LabView test application development – muliple years of development.
Demonstrated development of an entire test paradigm for manufacturing.
Demonstrated implementation of SPC in manufacturing, design of experiments (DOE), measurement system analysis (MSA).
