Test and Automation Engineer

Job Description:

Summary:
The Test & Automation Engineer designs, develops, and deploys automated test equipment (ATE) and test methods for electrical generators and components including electrical, mechanical, and dynamic (vibration/environmental) testing across all development and production phases. The role also applies automation principles to manufacturing processes (PLC/SCADA/industrial controls) to improve throughput, quality, and cost. Responsibilities include requirements decomposition, hardware/software architecture, LabVIEW/Test Stand and PLC development, data acquisition/analysis, and compliance with aerospace, industrial, and Health & Safety requirements.
Essential Duties & Responsibilities:
•tConsolidate all data (users, context) in order to develop a complete system architecture.
•tUnderstand and translate user requirements into solutions.
•tMaster the overall design of an automated/computerized system, integrating scalability and sustainability aspects
•tModel and break down the system to make technical choices regarding hardware, software, or application packages.
•tManage the project from preliminary design to acceptance and estimate the work in terms of costs and deadlines.
•tDesign and implement test and validation plans
•tManage subcontractors (studies, implementations),
•tIntegrate configuration management, documentation, and training,
•tEnsure the interface with other engineering and manufacturing partners based on project scope.
Test system & ATE design
•tBuild, and validate modular ATE; integrate measuring devices, power supplies, DAQ, and motion/IO for automated electrical and dynamic tests.
•tProduce simulation/trade studies (e.g., load profiles, harmonics, thermal, and vibration exposure) to set test limits and protect DUTs and assets. Consider signal and power quality parameters and design safeguarding measures to prevent DUT and/or company assets impact.
Test methods, execution & compliance
•tTranslate system and regulatory requirements into test plans, procedures, sequences, and reports for development, qualification, and production acceptance; manage results traceability and signal troubleshooting
•tPlan and design test equipment and sequences aligned to aerospace environmental/electrical standards
•tWhere applicable, support the development of calibrations method for signal and automatic operations parameters
•tDevelops and creates process documentation for safe operations of the ATE and Automated Means.
Manufacturing automation & industrial controls
•tDesign and deploy PLC/SCADA automation for manufacturing and end of line testing
•tCollaborate with IT/IS and Digital teams to develop, deploy, and support the digitalization of the industrial activities across the production lines
•tTranslate manufacturing practices to automation specifications for external collaboration with vendors and other automation parties.
Safety, quality & governance
•tEnsure adherence to AS9100 processes and site safety programs

Job Requirements:

Basic Qualifications:
•\tBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Automation Engineering and 3 years related field experience.
•\tHands on development with NI LabVIEW and DAQ data acquisition
•\tProficiency in electrical measurements and instrumentation (e.g., power analyzers, scope, DMM, DAQ, SMU), test data capture/analysis, and technical reporting.
•\tPLC/controls experience for manufacturing automation, interlocks, and end of line testing.
•\tWorking grasp of standards for safe commissioning/maintenance of energized systems.
•\tClear, concise technical writing (plans, procedures, reports) and cross functional communication with design, quality, and operations.

Preferred Qualifications:
•\t5+ years of working experience in automation and/or ATE designs
•\tBackground in power electronics (e.g., H bridge drivers, inverter topologies) and harmonics/power quality
•\tFamiliarity with NEMA MG 1 for motors/generators and rotating machine testing nuances.
•\tCAD design to support development efforts.
•\tScripting or application development (e.g., Python, C/C#) to extend test capabilities, parse results, or integrate databases/APIs.
•\tFamiliarity with site existing platforms: Mitsubishi, Rockwell Automation, and DirectLOGIC PLC platforms.

Physical Demands:
Stationary 40% / Mobility 60% (lifting up to 25 lbs)

Work Environment:
Equal split between office work and working on a production line building engineering orders.
