Electrical Test Engineer

About Voyis:

Voyis designs and manufactures high performance underwater optical sensors (lasers cameras lights) for autonomous underwater vehicles that expand capability and enhance understanding in underwater surveys and exploration. Our products have enabled our customers to survey more than 10000km of ocean floor across all 7 continents helping people better understand those remote challenging environments. Our mission is to push the limits of whats possible subsea and enable every underwater vehicle to see the depths like we see the surface.

All our products are proudly designed and built in Waterloo. Voyis operates independently and is part of the Covelya Group of companies.

What youll do:

As an Electrical Test Engineer on the Manufacturing and Test Team you will leverage your expertise in high-complexity low-volume manufacturing to perform hands-on electrical testing debug circuits with lab equipment and analyze data to improve our designs and procedures.

You will play a major role in NPI activities to ensure new designs can be efficiently built and tested. You will create fixtures to test our embedded hardware cameras ensure board functionality etc. You will develop and execute both component and product-level electrical test plans.

Your ultimate goal is to drive efficient defect-free building and robust testing to ensure our underwater products meet the highest standards of reliability. We are looking for someone who is keen to learn and grow with the role as we expand operations. We are a small team with lots of opportunities to solve interesting problems.

Note this is an in-person role at our headquarters in Waterloo. There may be some opportunities for limited periods of remote work however the job requires you to be here with the hardware and the team that is building it.

Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end testing efforts from component validation to full product testing on new and existing hardware.
• Actively participate in New Product Introduction (NPI) activities developing test strategies and providing design-for-test (DFT) feedback.
• Develop test plans fixtures and tooling for testing and PCBA programming.
• Perform hands-on electrical testing and failure analysis using standard lab equipment like oscilloscopes logic analyzers and multimeters.
• Design and build wire harnesses to support prototypes NPI and test stations.
• Analyze and interpret test data to identify defects root causes and areas for design improvement.

Skills you will bring to the table:

• Degree in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering Electronics or similar.
• 2 years experience as an Electrical Engineer working in embedded or robotic systems.
• Demonstrated abilities debugging hardware and system level issues using modern lab equipment including high speed oscilloscopes bus analyzers logic analyzers voltmeters etc.
• Experience designing and testing high-reliability low-volume electronics.
• Hands-on experience designing and testing for EMC and debugging.
• Experience with embedded systems and robotics communication interfaces such as ethernet networking USB I2C serial/RS485.

Bonus Points for:

• Experience with PCB design for both analog/digital multi-layer boards.
• Familiarity with setting up and managing databases for logging and analyzing large sets of test data.
• Experience with ARM processors.
• Familiarity with Altium Designer or KiCAD.
• Familiarity with industry standards for electronics manufacturing and testing such as IPC standards.

The Perks:

• Flexible work hours lots of vacation and a dedication to work-life balance
• Employee-directed personal education funds to drive continuous learning
• Profit-sharing within to celebrate our successes together
• Regular company-wide social events
• Health and vision benefits
• RRSP Matching
