Saronic Technologies, a leader in autonomous surface vessels for maritime defense, is seeking an Electrical Test Engineer to support the development and execution of electrical test plans across vehicle and subsystem programs.
You will be responsible for executing verification activities aligned with the engineering design process, developing and maintaining automated test equipment (ATE), and working cross-functionally to ensure electrical designs are thoroughly validated prior to release.
Key responsibilities include:
**Test Plan Development & Execution:** Develop and execute structured test plans translating system and subsystem requirements into test cases and procedures. Perform electrical verification testing at board, subsystem, and system levels, including functional, regression, environmental, and reliability testing. Document test procedures, results, and deviations clearly. Support root cause analysis and troubleshooting of electrical failures.
**Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Development:** Assist in the design, build, and maintenance of automated test equipment for PCBAs, harnesses, power systems, and integrated assemblies. Develop and maintain automated test scripts using Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, or similar tools. Integrate lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, DAQs, power supplies, loads) into automated test systems. Design and support development of test fixtures to improve repeatability and efficiency.
**Cross-Functional Collaboration:** Work closely with electrical, mechanical, firmware, systems, and manufacturing engineers. Participate in design reviews providing input on testability and verification coverage. Collaborate with technicians to execute testing and refine procedures. Support transition of engineering validation tests into production environments.
**Process & Continuous Improvement:** Maintain accurate test documentation and version control. Contribute to lab infrastructure improvements and best practices. Support continuous improvement of test methodologies and data analysis. Ensure compliance with relevant safety and quality standards.
Required: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field; 3–6 years of experience in electrical test engineering, hardware validation, or related role; working knowledge of engineering design lifecycle and verification processes; experience with electrical lab instrumentation and measurement techniques; experience developing or maintaining automated test scripts; strong troubleshooting skills across analog, digital, and power electronics systems; ability to work effectively in cross-functional engineering environments.
Preferred: Experience in robotics, autonomous systems, defense, maritime, or ruggedized hardware; familiarity with power systems, battery systems, or embedded hardware; exposure to manufacturing test or DFM/DFT principles; experience with requirements traceability and structured test documentation; experience in fast-paced product development environments.
