About the role
As a Hardware Test Engineer, you'll work across engineering disciplines to make sure our hardware meets the highest bar for quality and reliability. You'll own testing from concept through high-rate production. That means building the test plans and systems that prove out designs, running the labs that generate the evidence, presenting results that drive key decisions, and following failures through to corrective action. The ideal candidate is self-driven and has built test systems and software from the ground up. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- B.S. in Electrical or Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field
- 2+ years testing power electronics, avionics, or other high-reliability electronic hardware
- A passion for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment and hands-on design and development
- Comfort with ambiguity and turning high-level requirements into clear design/test objectives
- Experience with environmental chambers, automated test equipment, and test fixtures
- Strong ability to read schematics and understand circuits
