As a 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 and in-house production testing. You will work alongside the technical operations team to deploy test equipment, software, and procedures for both in-line and end-of-line production testing. Every day, you will interact with the product design, software controls, manufacturing, and quality engineering teams to ensure the appropriate test solution is being designed for our robotics systems. To thrive in this role, you must be capable of understanding complex electromechanical systems and assemblies at a systems engineering level.
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:
- Working within a team of engineers to design, construct, document, and run test sets on electromechanical parts and assemblies.
- Conduct troubleshooting and failure analysis efforts on the production floor to improve engineering and assemblies design as well as supplier quality.
- Collect, analyze, and present test performance data to both operations and engineering stakeholders for continuous improvement.
- Training both internal and external manufacturing in the use and support of production test equipment, test programs, and debug processes.
- Coordinating with both software and quality teams to create and maintain the data backhaul of tests used for quality control.
- Support station duplication, maintenance, and deployments for repair and service teams.
Required Skills & Experience:
- Able to interpret mechanical assembly drawings and provide feedback to mechanical designers.
- Able to interpret electrical schematics and cable drawings and provide feedback to electrical designers and technicians.
- Test software development using programming languages such as Python in both Windows and Linux environments.
- Self-motivated and able to work in an ambiguous environment with minimal supervision.
Preferred Skills & Experience:
- Associate's degree in electronics, robotics, mechatronics or related field.
- 1-2 years of experience from various industries (robotics, medical, defense) performing systems integration and test functions.
- Familiarity with system-level debug and failure analysis and driving to root cause, working with engineering.
- Familiarity with Jira or other ticket/issue management and tracking systems.
- Experience working with manufacturing team members to create test plans and procedures for complex electromechanical assemblies on final assembly lines.
- Experience working with software and control teams in robotics manufacturing test development.
- Experience with lean manufacturing and/or six sigma.
- Familiarity with using a PLM (e.g. Arena).
Travel:
- Ability to travel up to 10% of the time including international travel.
