Senior Test Engineer - Software

Trust Automation has over 35 years of experience in custom motors, linear drives, digital drives, and systems which meet the unique needs of its customers. Its product line includes motors, linear drives, digital drives, custom assemblies, and products to fit unique applications and ground‑up system design and manufacturing solutions. We design, build and support control and power management systems for the most demanding defense, semiconductor, industrial automation, and medical applications.

Trust Automation is an equal opportunity employer and committed to attracting, hiring, developing, and retaining a skilled, productive, and diverse workforce, personnel with competencies and experience related to the regional and State population. Every employee has an "at-will" relationship with Trust Automation. This means that employment with Trust Automation is at the mutual consent of the employer and the employee and is subject to termination by either party at will, with or without cause or advance notice.

The Trust Automation Test Engineering Team develops test systems and software applications that empower Trust Automation to build and ship best-in-class motion control and cyber security hardware. Test Engineers collaborate with Product Development and Manufacturing teams to create manufacturing test plans for new products, and design fixtures and software to automate these tests. Test Engineering is a multidisciplinary team, with most projects requiring mechanical, electrical, and software design.

The Test Software Engineer is responsible for the software component of these projects, creating a test plan, and supporting the team to solve shared design problems. A common project for the Test Engineering Team is the design and integration of bed‑of‑nails test fixtures. Test content can include ICT, chip programming, functional/integration tests, motion control, and signal processing. Technical breadth of test content is constantly growing as new products and technologies are added to the Trust Automation portfolio.

• Design, deploy, and maintain software used by the Trust Manufacturing Team for building and testing motion control, power conversion, and cyber security products
• Develop test code using Python, C, C#, and Type Script
• Design manufacturing tests for new products
  • Review product requirements, electrical schematics, and other product design documentation to generate requirements for the test design
  • Requirement derivation, tracking and verification for test solutions
  • Create diagrams of target products and other supporting documents to aid in communication and design of the test
  • Create and document a test plan. Lead reviews of the test design with engineers, program stakeholders, and external customers
  • Implement test software using Python and other programming languages
  • Create work instructions that guide Test Operators through execution of the test
  • Create and execute a validation plan to confirm that the test implementation meets design goals prior to release for use in manufacturing
• Assist in building prototype test hardware including cable assemblies, hardware integration, specification and ordering of components, and mechanical assembly
• Perform a variety of complicated tasks, primarily relying on job experience to accomplish project goals. A wide degree of creativity and latitude is expected.
• Lead Trust Automation's test development processes, including design reviews
• Provide mentoring and training for other engineers
• Support of Business Development (i.e.
  
  - Bid and Proposal) efforts
• Support of Operations with released product issues, leading engineering sustainment
• Become a product knowledge expert, using that knowledge to:
  • Contribute to troubleshooting documentation
  • Train and assist peers to identify and troubleshoot product issues
  • Design and execute experiments to characterize product design issues. Create reports to communicate findings. (i.e.
    
    - perform root-cause analysis).
• Troubleshoot test system and product issues using tools such as:
  • Multimeters
  • Oscilloscopes
  • Logic and protocol analyzers
  • Network analyzers
  • Debuggers (e.g., pdb, gdb) and trace probes (e.g., Segger)
• Prov…
