Senior Test & Integration Engineer
On-siteGilbert, Arizona, United States
Job Summary
Architect and lead the fixture-based test program for electronic components by reverse-engineering power sequencing, communication buses, and firmware behavior to design end-to-end bench test fixtures. Build custom hardware and control software that emulate live system environments, validating sensors like LiDARs and radars while making build-versus-buy decisions. Direct two Manufacturing Engineers to execute a prioritized fixture roadmap, transitioning verification from downstream testing to structured front-loaded bench processes. Ensure every test produces traceable pass/fail data linked to serialized units, establishing a reusable library for rapid onboarding of new component types.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent hands-on experience
- Demonstrated experience reverse-engineering electronic hardware and embedded/firmware behavior on complex systems (sensors, avionics, radar/LiDAR/camera systems, or similar) without complete OEM documentation
- Strong background in electronics test — communication buses (e.g., CAN, Ethernet, SPI/I2C, RS-422/485, or similar), power systems, and signal/continuity verification
- Proven experience designing test fixtures or bench setups from the ground up, including cable/harness design and hardware selection
- Software development experience for test automation and instrument/DUT control (e.g., Python, LabVIEW, or comparable)
- Experience leading or mentoring other engineers on a technical program
Desired Qualifications
- Experience testing or integrating sensor payloads (radar, LiDAR, camera/vision systems) in a defense, aerospace, or autonomy environment
- Familiarity with IRT, ATP, and FAI test and acceptance processes in a manufacturing environment
- Experience with andon-style pass/fail reporting systems or automated test data logging
- Prior experience standing up a test and integration function from scratch
