Test Engineer Job Description

The Test Engineer will support the development, validation, and troubleshooting of electronic products by using a wide range of test equipment and following detailed technical documentation. This role involves inspecting printed circuit boards, performing soldering and de-soldering tasks, interpreting schematics and fabrication drawings, and contributing to test development activities. The ideal candidate combines strong hands‑on electronics skills with clear communication, effective time management, and a positive, collaborative approach to problem solving.

• Operate and configure test equipment such as oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, multimeters, and power meters to validate and troubleshoot electronic circuits and systems.
• Perform detailed PCB inspection, identifying defects, component issues, and assembly problems to support reliable product performance.
• Execute precise soldering and de-soldering work on electronic components and assemblies while maintaining high quality and safety standards.
• Read, interpret, and apply information from schematics and fabrication drawings to perform testing, verification, and diagnostics.
• Support test engineering and test development activities by following established procedures and contributing feedback to improve test coverage and efficiency.
• Document test results clearly and accurately, and communicate findings to engineering and cross-functional teams in both written and verbal form.
• Organize and prioritize tasks effectively to meet project deadlines and manage multiple testing activities simultaneously.
• Collaborate with team members while also working independently when required, maintaining a flexible and positive attitude.
• Apply creative problem-solving and analytical skills to identify root causes of issues and propose effective technical solutions.
• Maintain a high level of attention to detail in all aspects of testing, documentation, and equipment handling.

• Hands‑on experience using electronic test equipment including oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, multimeters, and power meters.
• Proficiency in PCB inspection, including identifying component placement issues, solder defects, and other assembly‑related problems.
• Strong soldering and de‑soldering skills for through‑hole and surface‑mount components.
• Ability to read and understand electronic schematics and fabrication drawings.
• Familiarity with MacOS for test execution, documentation, and general engineering workflows.
• Good written communication skills for documenting test procedures and results.
• Good oral communication skills for discussing technical findings with engineering and cross‑functional teams.
• Strong organizational and time management skills to handle multiple tasks and meet project schedules.
• Flexible and positive attitude with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Creative problem‑solving and analytical skills with a keen attention to detail.
• Educational background with an AA in electronics or a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or equivalent.

• Experience in test engineering or electrical engineering environments, particularly in validation and test development.
• Exposure to electrical test processes and methodologies for product validation and verification.
• Familiarity with test development activities, including creating or improving test setups and procedures.
• background or coursework in electrical engineering concepts relevant to circuit analysis, measurements, and troubleshooting.
• Ability to adapt to evolving test requirements and technologies while maintaining consistent quality of work.

The Test Engineer will work in a laboratory and electronics‑focused environment that relies heavily on specialized test equipment such as oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, multimeters, and power meters. The role involves frequent hands‑on work with printed circuit boards, including inspection, soldering, and de‑soldering tasks at a lab bench or workstation. Work is performed using MacOS‑based systems for…
