Manufacturing Test Engineer, Electrical/Mechanical

The role

This role focuses on full-vehicle testing for the Dive-XL autonomous underwater vehicle. You will conduct dry and wet factory acceptance testing, troubleshoot electromechanical failures, and design test equipment.

What you will do

• Run full-vehicle dry FAT and wet FAT as test conductor
• Become subject-matter expert on mechanical and electromechanical checks
• Own in-water checks in wet FAT to confirm vehicle readiness
• Decide which tests add value and cut test time
• Push tests upstream to catch problems at the smallest assembly possible
• Triage failed test steps as defects, procedure mismatches, or setup limits
• Troubleshoot vehicle-level failures hands-on using structured problem solving
• Design and maintain test equipment, rigs and fixtures
• Keep FAT procedures matched to the as-built vehicle and train technicians
• Write troubleshooting runbooks and use Python/AI to automate test sequences

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical, electromechanical, electrical or computer engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
• 3+ years of relevant experience, ideally designing tests for electromechanical hardware in a manufacturing environment
• Hardware testing and automated test systems
• Bench equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMMs and programmable power supplies
• Manufacturing test limits and common failure modes
• Running programmed scripts in Python, MATLAB, shell or similar
• Communication protocols such as USB, Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485, PCIe, HDMI and CAN
• Complex electromechanical systems
• Full system test plans written and run on fast product development timelines
• Programming and testing a wide range of sensors, actuators and electrical components
• A test owned from prototype to execution
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Nice to have

• Subsea robotics or AUV/UUV experience, including in-water testing
• PLM, MES, Jama and test execution systems
• Testing and working around high-voltage systems up to 400 V
• Projects that integrate electrical, mechanical and software or firmware systems
• Owning projects with loose scope under technical and schedule pressure

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees

Before you apply
