As a Test Engineer at Allen Control Systems, you will own product acceptance and end-of-line test systems as the company transitions from development to scaled production. You will build and maintain reliable, repeatable test processes to ensure every unit meets performance and quality expectations. Working closely with manufacturing, quality, and engineering, you will improve yield, resolve failures, and enable increasing production rates. This hands-on role involves both designing systems and stepping in to support execution when needed.

Responsibilities

Own development and maintenance of product acceptance and EOL test systems
Design and implement test processes that are robust, repeatable, and scalable
Drive improvements in test throughput to support increasing production rates
Analyze test data to identify yield issues, failure trends, and opportunities for improvement
Lead root cause investigations and implement corrective actions
Design fixtures, instrumentation, and automation to improve consistency and reduce manual effort
Partner with engineering to improve testability and manufacturability
Work closely with manufacturing and quality teams to resolve issues and maintain production flow
Develop and maintain test procedures, documentation, and work instructions
Continuously improve test systems to increase reliability, uptime, and scalability

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or related engineering field (or equivalent experience)
3+ years of experience in hardware testing, preferably in a production or manufacturing environment
Experience with test instrumentation (DMMs, oscilloscopes, DAQ systems, power supplies, etc.)
Ability to analyze test data and identify trends impacting yield and performance
Experience with root cause analysis and implementing corrective actions
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced, production-driven environment
Willingness to be hands-on and support test execution when needed

Nice to have

You have experience building or supporting EOL/production test systems
You’ve improved test throughput, yield, or system reliability in a measurable way
You have experience with test automation (Python, C++, or similar)
You’ve designed fixtures or hardware interfaces for production testing
You think in terms of systems, scalability, and failure modes – not just test execution
You’ve worked in a high-growth or startup environment
