Job Summary

The Manufacturing/Test Engineer helps ensure every Acromag product ships with confidence by building reliable, efficient manufacturing tests and fixtures. In this hands-on role, you’ll partner closely with Engineering and Production to improve test coverage, reduce manual steps through automation, and solve real-world problems on the bench and on the production floor.

What success looks like (first 90 days): Learn our products and existing production test set-ups, deliver at least one fixture or test improvement into production, and help standardize documentation/training so operators can run tests consistently.

Duties/Responsibilities

You’ll work with: Test Engineering, Product Design Engineering, Quality, and Production to keep tests robust, repeatable, and easy to run.

· Design and improve manufacturing test fixtures for our process and embedded products.

· Develop and expand automated test solutions to improve throughput, repeatability, and quality (from concept to deployment, with team support).

· Troubleshoot mechanical/electrical test issues and collaborate with Engineering/Production to drive root-cause fixes.

· Create and maintain clear production test procedures and supporting documentation.

· Train and support operators on new/updated fixtures and test procedures to ensure smooth adoption.

· Support cost estimates and justification for test-related tools/equipment as needed.

Skills/Abilities

· Experience with PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium Designer) or the ability to ramp up quickly.

· Programming experience in one or more of C/C++/C# (used to build and maintain test applications/tools).

· Hands-on experience with electronics test and measurement fundamentals (e.g., using meters/scopes, basic debugging, interpreting schematics).

· 3D CAD experience for product, tooling, or fixture design.

Preferred (nice to have)

· Experience with data acquisition, DAC/ADC concepts, and automated measurement workflows.

· Strong problem-solving skills and curiosity when troubleshooting.

· Clear written and verbal communication skills (you’ll write procedures and collaborate cross-functionally).

· Comfort working within defined processes (and helping improve them when needed).

· Self-directed and collaborative—comfortable asking questions and sharing what you learn.

Education and Experience

· 2+ years of relevant experience in test, manufacturing engineering, or related hands-on engineering work (internships/co-ops count).

· Comfortable working around electronics (reading schematics, basic lab equipment, debugging circuits).

· Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

Physical Work Environment
