A well-established defense and commercial electronics test equipment company in Irvine is hiring a Senior Test Engineer to design test hardware and full test program sets for programs spanning military and commercial applications. This is a hands-on role: you'll own schematic-level circuit design (analog and digital), build Interface Test Adapters, and develop the software logic that drives test execution - working with instrumentation like oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, and data acquisition systems.

- 3 years designing circuits with Altium, OrCAD, or Cadence
