Systems and Test Engineer

SUMMARY:   

As a Systems Test Engineer at Seek Thermal you will lead the integration verification and test of thermal imaging systemsworking across hardware software firmware optical and manufacturing teams to deliver thermal solutions for consumer industrial and OEM markets. You will serve as a key quality gate for new products entering manufacturing own the test infrastructure that validates them and drive the test strategy from development through production. The Sr. Systems Test Engineer will report directly into the SVP of Engineering.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop and execute test plans to validate system performance against established budgets and acceptance criteria (NETD MTF latency throughput); flag risks to engineering leads.
• Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions for system-level failures in development and post-deployment.
• Design and maintain automated test frameworks and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test systems.
• Own test coverage strategy across HW/FW/SW integration layersregression stress and environmental.
• Author test specifications reports and traceability matrices to system requirements and qualification standards.
• Support technical design reviews with test perspective requirements traceability interface definition and risk input throughout the development cycle.
• Partner with manufacturing and quality to support prototype-to-production transitions including production test fixture design go/no-go criteria and yield monitoring at the manufacturing line.
• Coordinate environmental and qualification testing with external labs; review test plans witness key tests and disposition results.
• Oversee test bench calibration program including equipment schedules and calibration records.
• Mentor junior engineers in systems and test engineering best practices.

SKILLS KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITIES:

• Deep knowledge of EO/IR imaging system design and performance metrics (NETD MTF FPN); experience operating or building radiometric test benches and applying thermal calibration techniques.
• Proven experience developing and executing system-level test plans ATPs and qualification protocols for electro-optical or sensor-based products including environmental/reliability campaigns (MIL-STD-810 IEC 60068 UL 1316 NFPA 1801).
• Proficiency in test automation scripting (Python LabVIEW or equivalent); hands-on experience with ATE frame grabbers IR analysis software and custom test fixture design.
• Ability to work across HW FW and SW boundariescomfortable with serial debug JTAG and oscilloscope-level troubleshooting to isolate root causes and drive corrective action.
• Experience with requirements traceability structured verification processes (V-model) and statistical test data analysis (Cpk yield tracking) to support manufacturing readiness.
• Strong cross-functional communicator with the ability to translate test results into clear actionable findings for engineering manufacturing and leadership audiences.

Qualifications :

Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering Physics Optical Engineering or related field.
      5 years of experience in systems integration test engineering or electro-optical product verification; experience in a product-focused hardware company or high-growth environment a plus.
    Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen lawful permanent resident or protected individual) as required by ITAR/EAR export control regulations.
