LabVIEW Test Engineer Job Description The LabVIEW Test Engineer develops and supports end-of-line test equipment and software to enable successful launch and production of new and existing products. This role focuses on creating innovative test solutions, supporting LabVIEW-based evaluation of new products, and troubleshooting electro-mechanical test systems to maximize manufacturing uptime and efficiency within a cross-functional engineering environment.

• Develop innovative end-of-line test equipment solutions to support existing products and new product introductions.
• Design, implement, and maintain LabVIEW applications for evaluation and testing of new products.
• Work as an embedded member of a cross-functional engineering team to coordinate and support the release of new products.
• Apply analytical and software problem-solving skills to troubleshoot electro-mechanical test systems and equipment.
• Optimize utilization and effectiveness of test systems by identifying and implementing improvements.
• Support manufacturing operations by maximizing uptime in assembly cells through enhancements to established equipment and test processes.
• Recommend and implement improvements to manufacturing test equipment to improve reliability, throughput, and quality.
• Specify and generate detailed design documentation to support new product introductions and test system changes.
• Use electrical test equipment such as digital multimeters (DMMs) and oscilloscopes to perform troubleshooting and validation.
• Support harness building and related electrical test activities as needed.
• Work with SQL Server databases to manage, analyze, and report test data from production and development environments.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, and manufacturing teams to ensure test solutions meet product and process requirements.
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts in test methodologies, tools, and data analysis.
• Support new product development activities by providing test engineering expertise and feedback on design for testability.

• At least 5 years of experience in test engineering or a closely related engineering role.
• Hands-on LabVIEW development experience for test and measurement applications.
• Strong electrical troubleshooting and testing skills for electro-mechanical systems.
• Proficiency using digital multimeters (DMMs) and oscilloscopes for diagnostics and validation.
• Experience with harness building and interpreting electrical schematics.
• Working knowledge of SQL Server databases for storing and retrieving test data.
• Ability to analyze test data and use software tools to solve complex technical problems.
• Experience with hardware and embedded systems in an automotive or vehicle-related environment.
• Familiarity with tools such as oscilloscopes and CAN analysis tools (e.g., CANalyzer) for system-level debugging.
• Bachelors degree in electrical engineering is preferred; other engineering or related disciplines are also acceptable.

• Experience working with automotive or off-highway vehicle components and subsystems.
• Knowledge in drivetrain components, electronic control systems, or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) applications.
• Experience integrating hardware, C++ software, and data systems within test environments.
• Ability to collaborate effectively within cross-functional teams, including design, manufacturing, and quality.
• Strong documentation skills for creating clear test procedures, specifications, and design records.
• Interest in new product development and supporting products from concept through production.
• Adaptability to take on increased workload due to business growth and evolving project needs.

The environment involves working with state-of-the-art drivetrain components, by-wire and mechanical transmission shifters, and electronic control systems for hybrid electric vehicle applications. You will work closely with cross-functional engineering and manufacturing teams in a production-oriented setting, using tools such as LabVIEW, oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, harnesses, SQL Server databases, and automotive diagnostic equipment including CAN analysis tools.
