• Implement data logging, reporting, pass/fail logic, and real-time monitoring in test automation workflows
• Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, and software engineers to ensure seamless system integration
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex hardware-software interactions in test environments.
• Document system designs, schematics, software logic, and test procedures for compliance and knowledge transfer
• Ensure all electrical designs and installations meet local and national electrical codes (e.g., NEC, IEC, UL) and safety standards
• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of experience in systems integration, test equipment development, or electrical panel building
• Proven ability to read, create, and debug electrical schematics and layout control panels
• Strong programming skills in Python, C#, or LabVIEW for test automation and hardware control
