Senior Test Engineer 2

We are seeking a Sr Test Engineer who will drive the development of industry leading test processes and systems that will differentiate Zwift’s production capabilities in speed to market, scalability of our manufacturing capabilities, manufacturing process accuracy and product quality.

In this critical role, you will utilize your electrical engineering skills to review Product Requirements Documents (PRD) and propose comprehensive test plans that cover all phases of product development and mass production (EVT thru MP). Using strong analytical and problem-solving skills, the Sr Test Engineer will guide critical decision making for the organization. The ability to work effectively with multi-functional teams is extremely important.

The Sr Test Engineer will have outstanding technical skills to design, develop and implement all required test systems from ground up, and effective communications skills to coordinate with a cross-functional team to meet very daring performance, cost and schedule goals.  These communication skills will be critical when partnering with outside resources for design, prototyping, and construction of Automated Test Equipment (ATE) for electronic subassemblies and finished goods.

We want someone to come in and roll up their sleeves and get results, so a hands-on Sr Test Engineer is a must. The Test Engineer will collaborate with internal project teams and external suppliers to ensure, performance, safety, and quality requirements are designed into every Test and Validation System introduced to production. 

What you'll do:

• Cradle to grave ownership over test strategies, systems development, implementation, and ensuring coverage efficiency.
• Interpret Product Requirements and technical performance requirements to develop test strategies.
• Develop statement of work (SOW) for outsourced suppliers
• Work with outsourced supplier to develop systems diagrams, parts lists, wiring lists/diagrams, solving procedures, and user manuals/instructions.
• Ownership for the Design and production validation of automated test systems for PCBA and FG level systems.
• Work with outsourced suppliers to design electrical interface test adapters, test fixtures and cable assemblies.
• Develop automation software using LabVIEW for custom automated test systems; beginning at new product prototyping (EVT) phases for new design characterization, thru development (DVT) for production system development, and implementation of the production systems during the pilot phase (PVT) at the factory floor.
• Ownership of effective test systems implementation and sustained operation and performance throughout the product life cycle at supplier factory locations in China and Mexico; provide training to the factory technical staff, ensure continuous data collection and supervising through the implementation of Cpk analysis for all key parameters for real time and weekly review, refine control limits over the first six months of mass production and supervise ongoing trends, provide quick response ongoing sustaining technical support to prevent production line stoppage, and lead equipment calibration process.
