## About the role

As a Senior Test Engineer, you own how Velo3D proves its metal additive manufacturing printers are ready to ship and keeps them running. Every printer passes through three stages of test: • Subsystem bring-up (Level 600) — power up and verify each subsystem in turn: electrical and safety interlocks, argon gas and compressed air, cooling, motion, powder handling, laser optics, controls and software.

## What they're looking for

- • Bachelor’s in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics or related engineering, or equivalent experience
- • 3–5 years in test, bring-up or manufacturing engineering on complex capital equipment (semiconductor, laser, medical, aerospace or automation)
- • Has authored and released revision-controlled test procedures and led root cause to a verified fix
- • Hands-on across electrical (schematics, DMM, scope, megger), gas and fluid systems (P&IDs, leak-down), precision motion and optics
- • Controls and computing: firmware, PLC/controller interfaces, IP/Modbus networking, Linux/Windows, Shell and Python
- • Clear communicator who makes decisions from data and never skips a step under schedule pressure
