Staff Manufacturing Test Engineer

As a Staff Manufacturing Test Engineer on the Manufacturing Test Engineering team, you will develop and implement the test systems that are used in the manufacture of our Robotics Systems. You will document, design, and deploy test equipment, software, and procedures for supplier production testing, in-house production testing, and system level testing. With a focus on factory acceptance test systems, you will interact with the product design, software, manufacturing, test, and quality engineering teams to ensure the appropriate test coverage and product performance for the robot end of line burn-in testing and subassemblies made for our robotics systems.

Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. For years, our awe-inspiring viral videos on YouTube have shown the world what remarkably capable robots can do. Now we are quickly becoming a recognized leader in automation solutions for industrial applications and warehouse logistics.

How You Will Make An Impact:

• Act as a technical liaison to manufacturing and production teams and provide test engineering support to drive continuous improvement for test method/machine related issues.
• Provide design for test (DFT) recommendations for test coverage, fault isolation capability, and failure trends.
• Document test procedures, fixtures, configurations, and best practices.
• Deliver turnkey test solutions for electromechanical parts and assemblies of new robots or sustaining tests for existing robots.
• Provide project management and design support for outsourced test development.
• Analyze test results and provide feedback to improve product quality and testing processes.
• Work with quality and process engineering teams to support failure analysis of test failures to drive root cause corrective actions.
• Support station duplication, maintenance, and deployments for repair and service teams.
• Train both internal and external manufacturing in the use and support of production test equipment, test programs, and debug processes.
• Support internal factory and services teams implementing new and supporting existing test solutions.
• Mentor other team engineers and technicians.

Required Skills & Experience:

• BS or MS in Robotics/Electrical Engineering or equivalent and 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Strong understanding of electromechanical and software fundamentals.
• Solid working knowledge of basic electrical equipment, including digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, and power supplies.
• Proven experience in directing resources for efficient execution of test systems or laboratory operations.
• Test software development using programming languages such as Python or C++.
• Able to read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings and apply fundamental knowledge to analyze designs.
• Comfortable with analog and digital test and debug techniques for medium to high complexity systems.
• Self-motivated and able to work in an ambiguous environment with minimal supervision.

Preferred Skills & Experience:

• Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout software using Altium or equivalent.
• Experience designing moderate complexity electro-mechanical structures to be used in a production or customer-facing environment in CAD (Catia, NX, Solidworks, etc.).
• Experience with Windows and Linux operating systems.
• Experience with lean manufacturing and/or six sigma.
• Experience with root cause analysis supported by data analytics.
• Familiarity with using a PLM (e.g. Arena).

Travel:

• Ability to travel up to 10% of the time including international travel.
