About the position

Skydio is seeking a self-motivated multi-disciplinary Hardware Test Engineer to define, design, implement, and continuously improve manufacturing test solutions. This role is crucial in ensuring that Skydio's products are defect-free, exceed quality requirements, and function reliably for customers. The engineer will collaborate with various teams to develop test plans and specifications, design test stations, and proactively identify and resolve test-related issues.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with product development, quality, manufacturing, and software teams to define manufacturing test plans and product test specifications.
• Partner with engineering teams to incorporate Design for Test (DFT) feedback into product design.
• Design test stations that involve hardware and software development to support manufacturing.
• Develop Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility (GR&R) and station audit plans to ensure optimal station health for manufacturing.
• Work with manufacturing and software infrastructure teams to integrate test stations into the manufacturing process and internal test framework.
• Proactively identify test-related issues through build cycles and drive for timely resolution.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience developing electromechanical manufacturing test stations.
• Proficient in software development, preferably in Python.
• Solid understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts.
• Ability to debug from system down to component level.
• Comfortable using common lab equipment such as DMM, scopes, logic analyzers, PSUs, and signal generators.
• Ability to analyze data to investigate test failures, assess design gaps, and show process capability and equipment reliability using tools like JMP, MiniTab, or Matlab.
• Expertise in communication interface protocols such as UART, USB, I2C, GPIB, and RS-232.
• Ability to supplement engineering work with technical documentation.

Nice-to-haves

• Strong CAD skills, preferably in CATIA, and mechanical fabrication skills.
• Experience in electrical design and PCB layout to interface with Device Under Test (DUT).
• Background in signal processing and statistics.
• Ability to develop dashboards to visualize and communicate key metrics.

Benefits
