Summary

The Senior Test Engineer will lead the development, enhancement, and longterm support of automated test systems used to validate integrated optoelectronic laser engines. This role is primarily a software engineering position focused on LabVIEW, with responsibility for building scalable test architectures, integrating complex instrumentation, and ensuring reliable, highquality test coverage across development and production. The ideal candidate is a strong LabVIEW developer who enjoys solving systemlevel problems, designing clean software frameworks, and working with advanced test equipment.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, develop, and maintain LabVIEW-based automated test applications, including modular frameworks, reusable libraries, and scalable system architectures.
• Integrate and control a wide range of test instrumentation such as optical spectrum analyzers (OSAs), oscilloscopes, power meters, laser drivers, TEC controllers, and other electrical/optical test equipment.
• Develop automated test sequences, data acquisition routines, and instrument control interfaces for characterization, validation, and production workflows.
• Collaborate with crossfunctional teams (firmware, mechanical, optical, manufacturing) to translate product requirements into robust test strategies and software implementations.
• Troubleshoot test system issues-primarily software, instrumentation control, and integration challenges.
• Implement structured data logging, automated analysis, and reporting pipelines to support engineering insights and manufacturing yield improvements.
• Maintain documentation, version control, and configuration management for test software and hardware.
• Provide technical leadership, code reviews, and mentorship to junior and midlevel test engineers.
• Drive continuous improvement in test reliability, maintainability, and throughput.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or related field.
• Extensive experience developing LabVIEW applications, including medium to largescale or multimodule systems.
• Strong handson experience interfacing with test instrumentation (OSAs, oscilloscopes, power meters, etc.).
• Solid understanding of automated test methodologies, software design patterns, and structured development practices.
• Ability to interpret systemlevel requirements and translate them into test software architectures.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, especially in complex test environments.
• Comfortable working with integrated systems that combine optics, electronics, and firmware, even if not performing deep electronics or optical debug.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience with SQL or other database technologies for storing, querying, and analyzing test data.
• Familiarity with NI TestStand or similar test executive frameworks.
• Experience with Python, C#, or similar languages for auxiliary automation or tooling.
• Exposure to manufacturing test environments, reliability testing, or systemlevel characterization.
• Experience collaborating on automated test fixtures or working with mechanical engineering teams.
• Knowledge of data visualization or statistical analysis tools.

Soft Skills

• Strong communication and documentation abilities.
• Ability to lead technical discussions and influence test architecture decisions.
• Detailoriented with a focus on reliability, maintainability, and longterm system performance.
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fastpaced engineering environment.

Compensation

• Salary Range - $120,000 - $190,000 Depending on Experience
