Senior Systems Test Engineer (Manufacturing Test) – Confidential Client

We’re supporting a confidential client in the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) space on the search for a Senior Systems Test Engineer focused on manufacturing test. This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of systems, electrical, mechanical, and software engineering, helping scale cutting-edge hardware products from prototype through production.

You’ll play a key role in defining how products are tested at scale, building the fixtures, software, and processes needed to ensure performance, reliability, and quality standards are consistently met.

What you’ll do
• Define and design end-of-line and in-process manufacturing test systems to validate core product functionality
• Translate system and product requirements into comprehensive test plans, specifications, and coverage
• Design and develop test fixtures and hardware, including PCB-level interfaces and basic mechanical structures
• Develop test software using Python, LabVIEW, or similar tools to automate test execution and data collection
• Collaborate with EE, ME, firmware, and systems teams to ensure testability is built into product design
• Lead bring-up, validation, and optimization of manufacturing test systems
• Analyze test data, debug failures, and drive root cause investigations
• Support scaling from prototype builds to production, improving test efficiency, reliability, and throughput
• Work with contract manufacturers and vendors to deploy and maintain test systems

What you’ll bring
• 7–10+ years of experience in system test, manufacturing test, or related roles
• Strong ability to translate requirements into test strategies and system design
• Experience designing test fixtures with electrical and/or mechanical elements
• Proficiency in test automation using Python, LabVIEW, or similar tools
• Hands-on experience testing hardware in a manufacturing or production environment
• A systems mindset with the ability to think holistically about product functionality and test coverage
• Comfort owning both test architecture and implementation
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative working style
• Familiarity with version control systems and programming best practices

Nice to have
• Experience in medical devices or other regulated industries
• Familiarity with manufacturing environments and contract manufacturers
• Experience with data analysis, test databases, or production metrics
• Background in DFT (Design for Test) or NPI (New Product Introduction)
