NPI Test Development Engineer

Job Title

NPI Test Development Engineer

Role Summary

Lead design and deployment of automated test solutions for RF and mixed-signal products across the New Product Introduction (NPI) lifecycle. The role bridges software and systems engineering with RF test expertise to deliver scalable, maintainable, production-ready test systems for high-volume manufacturing.

Experience Level

Senior — typically requires 8+ years of experience in automated test development and RF test engineering.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include development, integration, and improvement of production test systems:

• Design and implement automated test solutions using TestStand and C# on PXI-based ATE.
• Develop RF test programs and perform RF/mixed-signal measurement validation.
• Integrate hardware and software components; debug complex system-level failures.
• Provide design-for-test (DFT) feedback to product and hardware engineering teams.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and test staff.
• Define and promote best practices and reusable framework components across the test organization.
• Drive continuous improvement of test architectures, reliability, and maintainability.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; brief list of preferred traits below.

• Strong proficiency in C# and NI TestStand for automated test development.
• Experience developing tests on PXI-based automated test equipment (ATE).
• Deep knowledge of RF measurements and characterization techniques.
• Proven ability to debug complex hardware and software interactions.
• Experience delivering production-ready, scalable test systems and test frameworks.
• Ability to provide actionable DFT feedback and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Nice-to-have:

• Structured problem-solving approach and strong written/verbal communication.
• Track record of building reusable, maintainable technical solutions.

Education Requirements

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering (EE) or Computer Engineering.
