Senior Manufacturing Test Engineer, Barracuda

The Barracuda Manufacturing Team is responsible for rapidly iterating and building cutting-edge defense hardware for the Warfighter. This responsibility includes everything in the manufacturing value-chain including but not limited to Design for Manufacturability work tool design & selection process creation & optimization vendor sourcing & interaction quality planning and work documentation associated with the hardware that the Manufacturing Engineer owns.

As a Senior Manufacturing Test Engineer you will be responsible for ensuring that we are testing our systems to stringent standards ensuring that we are consistently shipping the highest quality products to our customers. Additionally you will ensure that we are able to meet the required throughput requirements of this role youll need to think creatively and come up with solutions to solve difficult testing problems and push to continuously improve our methods of automation throughput user interfaces and data analytics.
To ensure we are testing our systems sufficiently and efficiently you will define what needs to be tested by deriving test requirements authoring the test plan and then developing the tester itself. You will be expected to own building new test stations from the ground up starting with electrical/software/mechanical system design and proceeding through hardware development validation and system sustainment on the production line.
The team spans multiple disciplines so development work can be shared but every Manufacturing Test Engineer is expected to own a test capability end to end and to be hands-on in at least one of those core build disciplines.

• Maintain ownership of test activities in production and ensuring production test flow. Provide hands-on troubleshooting efforts and resolve complex electrical issues found during testing
• Own the full test lifecycle for assigned products from early test planning through tester development deployment validation and long-term sustainment on the line
• Define what needs to be tested by deriving test requirements from system design and collaborating with design engineers to refine test requirements
• Develop new test stations from the ground up including hands-on ownership of at least one core build discipline: test software test electrical/instrumentation or mechanical/fixture design and integrate them into the production line
• Author test plans build/test sequences and acceptance criteria for new and early-stage products then carry them through to a released sustainable production process
• Maintain test capabilities across the manufacturing value stream - from system level checkouts and acceptance testing to key component level in process validation
• Improve and sustain existing test systems to improve automation consistency total cycle time and test coverage (DfM)
• Generate test work instructions that can be easily followed by technician team in MES. Train technicians on equipment use as required
• Develop library of common failure modes with troubleshooting guide/diagrams for fast issue resolution
• Determine root cause of product failures and recommend appropriate corrective actions (RCCA)
• Work with Design Quality and Manufacturing Engineering teams to support customer returns and failure analysis
• Contribute feedback to early-stage test design for test processes supporting early-stage products (NPI)
• Beyond contributing feedback take ownership of the test approach for early-stage products developing the test hardware and software required to verify them
• Analyze test data document results and provide detailed reports to identify defects and areas for improvement
• Collaborate with design engineers to provide feedback and recommendations for product enhancements based on test outcomes
• Optimize test strategies for efficiency and effectiveness reducing test time without compromising quality
• Maintain and calibrate test equipment to ensure precision and reliability
• Support continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to enhance testing processes and methodologies
• Execute testing as required

• Bachelors degree in Electrical/Electronics Computer Mechanical Engineering or related fields
• 8 years of relevant industry experience with emphasis on manufacturing test and product sustainment
• Experience must span test development test requirements definition test plan creation and station/tester build in addition to production test and sustainment
• Familiarity with Linux Ubuntu LabVIEW and NixOS
• Experience with contract manufacturers in the testing of PCBA/electronic assemblies. Thorough knowledge of PCBA testing standards and methods
• Familiarity with electronics test equipment such as power supplies electronic loads oscilloscope function generators spectrum analyzers data acquisition and measurement sensors
• Strong root cause analysis skills of non-conforming hardware
• Excellent written verbal interpersonal and communication skills
• Familiar with Product Life Cycle (PLM) systems Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Test Execution Systems (TES)
• Experience working on projects that involve the integration of electrical mechanical and software/firmware systems
• Demonstrated ability to develop test systems from scratch with hands-on competency in at least one core build discipline: test software development test electrical/instrumentation design or mechanical/fixture design
• Experience owning the full test development lifecycle from test requirements definition and test plan creation through station build and validation to production sustainment
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

• Pursuing a Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering Electronics Engineering Mechanical Engineering Computer Science or related field
• Familiarity with Python LabVIEW and/or MATLAB for data parsing and data visualization
• Experience with test automation PCBA design and mechanical design
• Experience with computer hardware communication protocols: USB Ethernet RS232 RS485 PCIe HDMI CAN etc.
• Experience with ESS-related testing (Thermal Vibration etc.)
• Active Security Clearance
