Day to Day:

An employer is looking for a Test Engineer to join their Electronics Hardware Engineering Team in Redmond, WA.

This person will not be writing their own test plans but need to be able to read python and work with the design and engineering team to articulate the testing results and what needs to be changed. The Design Team will create the test plans, pass it to this person who will test, troubleshoot and deliver the results. Down the road this person will deliver the results to the Engineering team for large scale execution. This person should be able to carry out automation, will not be writing automation scripts themselves. This person will need to have hands on experience with oscilloscopes and power supplies. They need to have strong hands on experience with PCBA and have a strong troubleshooting mindset.
