Are you a Senior Test Engineer looking for a high-ownership role where you can set the standards, build out a function, and have real influence over what ships?

This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of board/module-level test for Multi-Chip Module and System-in-Package products, designing test methodology and architecture that becomes the company baseline as the team grows.

You will join a specialist semiconductor startup focused on solving component obsolescence for defense, aerospace, and other reliability-critical markets. Due to continued growth and an internal push to bring testing in-house, they are now looking to add a senior-level Test Engineer to shape the function from the ground up.

In this role, you will translate datasheets into automated test programs, architect modular test setups, develop boundary scan/JTAG tests, and collaborate cross-functionally with design, packaging, product and quality to solve escapes and failures.

This role would suit a Senior Test Engineer who can build test plans from scratch and wants ownership, influence, and a clear path to grow a test team.

The Role:
- Design, develop and deploy test programs for MCM/SiP products
- Architect and stand up modular test systems (PXI/PXIe, VXI, LXI) and fixtures/interfaces
- Develop boundary scan / JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) tests and automated test workflows
- Partner with design/quality teams to debug failures and drive DFT improvements

The Person:
- Senior-level semiconductor test engineering background with experience building test plans from scratch
- Hands-on boundary scan/JTAG experience and automated test development (LabVIEW/TestStand and/or Python with VISA/SCPI)
- US Citizen
