Job Summary:

The Test Engineer role is a hands-on, technical position that is critical to ensuring product integrity, reliability, and customer satisfaction within fast-paced electronics manufacturing environment. This position is responsible for developing, implementing, and sustaining robust test systems that support high-quality output and on-time delivery. The role directly contributes to operational excellence by enhancing test coverage, reducing failure rates, and improving throughput. As a cross-functional collaborator, the Test Engineer will work closely with production, quality, engineering, sales, and customer-facing teams to ensure that test operations are aligned with customer requirements and business objectives.

Principal Accountabilities:

Test Development & Implementation

• Design, develop, and maintain end-of-line and in-process test systems, including Functional Verification Testing (FVT), boundary scan, flying probe, automated and manual test setups, etc.


• Implement scalable and reliable test solutions to support both New Product Introduction (NPI) and ongoing production requirements that align with customer requirements for product testing, validation, and field performance.


• Collaborate with the Sales and Program Management teams to grow test capabilities and offerings with both new and existing customers, ensuring alignment with their evolving needs.


• Support customer site visits, technical reviews, and travel to other Impact ES locations to deploy and standardize test solutions across the organization.


• Ensure all test systems are properly documented, validated, and compliant with internal quality standards and customer-specific requirements.

Operational Excellence & Continuous Improvement

• Analyze test data to identify trends, improve first-pass yield, reduce false failures, and drive cycle time reduction.


• Develop and maintain KPIs to track test effectiveness and support site-wide continuous improvement programs.


• Actively participate in Lean, Six Sigma, and Kaizen events to optimize workflow, eliminate waste, and elevate test throughput.


• Provide feedback to engineering and design teams on test-related product improvements and optimization opportunities.

Cross-Functional & Customer-Focused Support

• Collaborate with production, planning, and engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of test processes into daily operations.


• Support technician training and troubleshooting, ensuring consistency and adherence to test procedures.


• Provide technical support during customer visits, audits, and quarterly business reviews (QBRs).


• Contribute to cross-site standardization of test methods, process documentation, and best practices.

Qualifications & Experience:

• 
  

  Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.

  
  


• 
  

  A minimum of three (3) years of hands-on experience in test engineering within an electronics manufacturing environment (EMS industry experience strongly preferred).

  
  


• 
  

  Demonstrated proficiency in developing automated and manual test solutions using tools such as LabVIEW, TestStand, C/C++, or Python.

  
  


• 
  

  Solid understanding of electronic assemblies and diagnostic tools (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters).

  
  


• 
  

  Familiarity with relevant industry standards such as IPC, ISO 13485, and AS9100, and how they influence test planning and compliance.

  
  


• 
  

  Proven track record of improving test coverage, first-pass yield, and operational efficiency through data-driven approaches.

  
  


• 
  

  Experience in coaching or mentoring technical staff to support team development and knowledge transfer.

  
  


• 
  

  Strong organizational and analytical skills with a focus on accountability and performance improvement.

  
  


• 
  

  Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams and with customers.

  
  

Additional Requirements:

Travel up to 10-15% to support customer interaction, test equipment setup, or multi-site deployment. Flexibility to support off-shift or weekend activities as needed during critical production windows.
