As a Test Hardware Engineer at Impulse, you will design, build, deploy, and support the electrical test hardware infrastructure that enables the company's testing operations. You'll create standardized, reusable building blocks for test engineers, including rack-mounted data acquisition (DAQ) and control units, mobile DAQ systems, test carts, rack-mounted pressure controllers, thermal chamber support hardware, power distribution assemblies, and electrical interface boxes.
Key responsibilities include designing and implementing common electrical test hardware platforms for DAQ, controls, instrumentation, power distribution, networking, and computer-integrated test assets. You will create and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, cable designs, bills of materials, assembly instructions, checkout procedures, and operating documentation. A core focus is developing standardized hardware architectures that allow test engineers to quickly assemble safe, reliable, maintainable, and reusable test systems.
You'll participate in the full hardware lifecycle—from requirements and design through procurement, fabrication, integration, commissioning, deployment, maintenance, and continuous improvement. Close collaboration with test operations, software automation engineers, IT, and other cross-functional teams is essential to ensure rapid, reliable deployment of test assets. You'll work alongside software automation engineers during design, deployment, integration, checkout, and troubleshooting phases, and coordinate with IT to define, image, configure, and maintain computers used in standard test assets.
The role requires resourceful, hands-on problem-solving to diagnose and resolve issues across electrical hardware, software interfaces, networking, and test infrastructure. You'll be expected to operate in a fast-paced environment with a strong emphasis on practical engineering execution.
