Engineering Technician, Electrical Hardware Test & Validation, Optimus

As a member of the Optimus test team, you will perform hands-on component-level testing and validation across electrical, mechanical, and instrumentation disciplines, with a primary focus on electrical test execution and prototype bring-up. You will set up test equipment, fabricate harnesses, solder and instrument hardware, and collect data that directly informs engineering decisions. The role requires strong electrical skills, a methodical approach to test execution, and the flexibility to support thermal, environmental, and mechanical tasks as needed.

Responsibilities

Execute component-level tests including setup, instrumentation, signal integrity analysis, data collection, and validation using oscilloscopes, power supplies, and electronic loads Fabricate wire harnesses, solder PCBs, and instrument prototypes using schematics, hand tools, and precision measurement equipment Install thermocouples and perform component-level thermal chamber and environmental stress testing Run and modify Python scripts and use Linux CLI to support test execution and data acquisition Optimize and document test processes to improve throughput, yield, and data quality while supporting new test bring-up Collaborate with engineers during bring-up activities, escalate anomalies, and interface on component modifications Maintain lab safety protocols, ESD standards, and a clean organized workspace

Requirements

2+ years of hands-on experience in electrical testing and prototype validation or a related technical discipline Strong proficiency with hand tools, precision measurement instruments, soldering techniques, and torque applications Demonstrated experience with environmental chamber testing, oscilloscope-based signal analysis, power supplies, and electronic loads Experience with data collection and reporting in MS Excel and ability to run and adapt Python scripts for test workflows Comfort navigating Linux CLI to support test execution and data acquisition Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
