Description

You will own critical aspects of products from initial design concepts through full-scale production, focusing on prototyping, debugging, and implementing test hardware systems for drone systems. You'll drive innovation by developing test strategies that optimize product safety and reliability while collaborating with cross-functional teams to address product issues and improve performance.

Requirements

  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • 5+ years of relevant experience
  • Experience in software development (using Python), electronics debugging tools (e.g., DMM, Oscilloscopes), and/or circuit and electrical engineering fundamentals (e.g., schematics/data sheets)
  • Familiarity with hardware communication bus protocols such as USB, I2C, I2S, SPI, CAN, etc.
  • Experience with sensing technologies, including Touch, Vision, Optics, RF, IMUs, Barometers, and Battery systems
  • Expertise in developing test strategies for complex products and systems
  • Strong understanding of the product life cycle from prototype to production, including key deliverables and testing phases
  • Collaborative mindset to work with cross-functional teams in support of product development from prototype to production

Responsibilities

  • Prototyping, Bring-up, Debug, and Characterization of test instruments for new products
  • Design and implement novel, modular test hardware systems to facilitate fast, repeatable testing of drone systems
  • Support manufacturing test bring-up, root cause analysis of defects, and implement resolutions
  • Utilize measurement analysis techniques such as GRR and Process Capability Analysis to ensure accurate test results
  • Develop test strategies that optimize product safety, reliability, and risk mitigation, including coverage for FMEA high RPN items
  • Drive DFT for future programs and post-ramp qualification changes
  • Data analysis and communication of test results, collaborating with design engineers to address product issues and improve performance
  • Manage the purchasing, building, integration, and final commissioning of functional test systems
  • Support quality field failure analysis to identify and resolve issues during post-production
