Hardware Test Engineer

We're supporting an innovative technology company building next-generation hardware, and we're hiring Test Engineers to stand up our hardware testing capability from scratch. This is a hands-on role with real ownership: you'll design and build the HITL systems, production test processes, and canary fleet infrastructure that keep our products reliable before they ever reach a customer.

If you like building things that don't exist yet and owning them end to end, read on.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and maintain Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) test systems across multiple hardware platforms
• Develop production unit test processes that catch issues before deployment
• Build and own canary fleet testing tools, processes, and operational procedures
• Create test procedures, documentation, and engineering standards
• Analyze test data and turn it into actionable reliability improvements
• Lead root cause investigations on hardware failures and drive them to resolution
• Partner with Engineering and Operations to align testing with real-world conditions
• Build scalable test infrastructure and workflows from the ground up

What you'll bring

• Bachelor's in Electrical, Mechanical, or a related engineering field — or equivalent hands-on experience
• Experience designing, building, and operating hardware test systems
• A track record developing test procedures, documentation, and validation methodologies
• Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis on complex hardware
• Comfort reading code, writing scripts, and working in Git
• A self-directed builder who sets priorities and creates process independently

Nice to have

• HITL test environment design or maintenance
• DAQs, sensors, telemetry, or logging software
• Python, Git, and Linux proficiency
• Power electronics, battery systems, or high-voltage hardware
• Experience spanning both R&D and production manufacturing

Why join

You'll build a test engineering function from the ground up — shaping the infrastructure, standards, and processes that future engineering teams will rely on. Your work will directly move the needle on product reliability, manufacturing quality, and customer success.
