Responsibilities

We are looking for a Senior Electrical Test Engineer to design, build, and maintain scalable infrastructure and test systems that support engineers throughout product development and manufacturing. This role serves as a key bridge between engineering and manufacturing, working closely with hardware, firmware, test, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure reliable tools, tests, and data enable efficient development and high-quality production.

• Test development & coding
• Develop and maintain manufacturing and development tests using Python, including test automation, data collection, and result validation
• Act as a technical bridge between product engineering and manufacturing, ensuring alignment from development through production
• Implement test logic that interfaces with hardware communication protocols such as UART and BLE
• Build and maintain tooling that supports engineers’ development, validation, and debug workflows
• Support the handoff of test systems and tooling from engineering to manufacturing, including documentation, stabilization, and scaling
• Translate engineering needs into manufacturing-ready infrastructure and test solutions, and feed manufacturing constraints back into engineering

Hardware & Protocol-Level Testing

• Support electronics component- and subsystem-level testing, from early development through manufacturing
• Debug and validate issues across hardware, firmware, and test infrastructure boundaries

Translating Specifications into Tests

• Read and interpret electronic component datasheets, specifications, and application notes
• Convert component requirements and datasheet limits into clear, repeatable, and automated test cases suitable for development and manufacturing
• Ensure test coverage reflects real electrical, timing, and protocol requirements, not just functional pass/fail

Location

This is an onsite US based role out of our San Francisco office.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, systems engineering, or a related technical role
• Practical understanding of hardware communication interfaces and protocols (e.g. UART, BLE)
• Experience supporting or developing tests for electronic components or embedded systems
• Ability to read and understand electronic component datasheets and translate specifications into test requirements
• Comfortable working close to hardware, including bring-up, debugging, and failure analysis
• Experience working with external contract manufacturers
• Hands-on experience designing, deploying, and maintaining infrastructure systems in engineering or production environments
• Experience supporting infrastructure for data-intensive or test-driven environments
• Ability to troubleshoot complex technical systems and perform structured root-cause analysis
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work across multiple engineering disciplines
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
• Fluent written and spoken English

Preferred

• Experience testing low-power or wearable devices
• Experience developing tests that validate electrical, timing, and protocol-level behavior
• Experience supporting infrastructure for hardware development, manufacturing, or test environments
• Exposure to manufacturing test environments or factory test stations
• Experience building test jigs for manufacturing
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field

Work Model

• Hybrid role in San Francisco, CA
• Close collaboration with Oura’s global hardware, firmware, testing, manufacturing, and quality teams
• Occasional travel to supplier locations or Finland required
