  • Lead hands-on execution of structural, thermal, mechatronic, and environmental test profiles.
  • Write Python or C++ scripts to automate life-cycle and fatigue testing.
  • Design DAQ systems to capture high-frequency test data and perform statistical analysis to assess design margins and component life expectancy.
  • Drive cross-functional root-cause investigations when hardware fails verification testing.
  • Participate in DFMEA sessions and provide empirical feedback to mechanical and electrical design teams to support design iterations before tooling release.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in hardware design verification testing.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
  • Proven track record in hardware-heavy industries such as robotics, aerospace, automotive, or advanced medical devices.
