  • Working knowledge of LabVIEW and/or at least one programming or scripting language (e.g., Python, C/C++, Java, or VBA).
  • Hands-on exposure to equipment, test systems, or production environments through academic projects, internships, or entry-level engineering roles.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to support troubleshooting and root cause analysis under guidance.
  • Strong teamwork, communication, and organizational skills to support multiple tasks and projects in a production environment
  • Candidates with strong fundamentals and interest in manufacturing, automation, and production environments are encouraged to apply, even if they do not meet every listed requirement.
  • Preferred:
    • Master's degree in Engineering.
    • Experience in a manufacturing, automation, equipment engineering, or production engineering environment.
    • Exposure to equipment or process qualification activities (e.g., FAT, SAT, PVT, NPI), either academically or professionally.
    • Experience with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), basic mechanical design, electrical systems, or circuit-level troubleshooting.
    • Familiarity with data analysis, automation tools, or machine-learning-based techniques applied to manufacturing or test systems.

Location
This position will be on-site based in Sugar Land, Texas.
