What is the difference between Full Time Pcb Test Engineer vs Pcb Design Engineer?

AspectFull Time Pcb Test EngineerPcb Design Engineer
Primary FocusTesting and validation of printed circuit boards (PCBs)Designing and developing PCB layouts and schematics
Required SkillsTesting procedures, electrical measurements, troubleshootingElectrical engineering, CAD software, circuit design
Work EnvironmentTesting labs, manufacturing facilitiesDesign offices, engineering teams
CertificationsElectronics testing certifications, IPC standardsElectrical engineering degree, CAD certifications

While both roles are integral to PCB manufacturing, the Full Time Pcb Test Engineer primarily focuses on testing and validating PCBs to ensure quality and functionality, whereas the Pcb Design Engineer concentrates on creating the PCB layouts and schematics during the development phase. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right career path or job search focus within the electronics industry.

Job description

Mechanical Test Engineer (Automation Tooling & Test Systems)
Location: Austin, TX (100% onsite)
Compensation: $100,000 - $115,000/year base salary + 10% annual bonus
Relocation Assistance: Available for qualified candidates
Travel: ≤5%

Overview
This role is not a traditional “test engineer” position. It is heavily focused on the mechanical design of tooling and test systems used within highly automated manufacturing environments, particularly SMT and electronics assembly lines.

The Mechanical Test Engineer will design and develop custom tooling and test fixtures integrated into automated test equipment, supporting validation of full products—not just PCB-level testing. This is a hands-on design role requiring strong experience with automation machinery and production test systems.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design mechanical tooling, fixtures, and assemblies used in automated test equipment and test stations
  • Develop test interfaces and “test boxes” for high-volume production environments
  • Support testing of full electromechanical products (not limited to PCB-level validation)
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including electrical, manufacturing, and automation engineers
  • Work within highly automated SMT and electronics production lines
  • Translate product requirements into robust, manufacturable test solutions
  • Utilize SolidWorks for 3D modeling, assemblies, and drawings
  • Drive design improvements for reliability, repeatability, and throughput in automated testing systems
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
  • Proven experience designing tooling or fixtures for automated test systems or production machinery
  • Strong background in automation environments (electronics or other high-volume manufacturing)
  • Experience designing for automated testing of full products (not just PCB-level testing)
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD, preferably SolidWorks
  • Understanding of manufacturing processes, automation integration, and production workflows
What This Role Is / Is Not
  • This is a design-focused role (not primarily execution or bench testing)
  • Approximately 60% focused on full-product test system/tooling design
  • Approximately 30% related to PCB-level test integration
  • Ideal for engineers who enjoy building custom solutions for automated manufacturing environments
