  • Determine time standards and make recommendations for tooling and process requirements 
  • Develop and use test procedures, evaluate test results, and evaluate work methods, procedures, and policies   
  • Determine root causes and corrective actions for issues that arise during assembly or system testing; perform Process Failure Mode & Effects Analysis; and provide reports as needed 
  • Mentor and train junior level engineers  

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree
  • 4-7 years of experience
  • Demonstrated conceptual knowledge and technical experience for everyday problem-solving on the job  

Preferred Qualifications:
