Electronics Test Technician I

About the Role

FUTEK is a leading manufacturer of precision sensor technology. The Test & Quality Technician supports product validation and release readiness by setting up lab tests, running test procedures, collecting data, and drafting clear test reports. This role works hands-on with electrical/electronic systems and lab equipment to execute test scenarios.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute product tests and validation procedures on multiple samples prior to release, supporting release readiness.
• Set up lab fixtures, wiring, and instrumentation required for testing (power, signal, data capture, measurement connections).
• Operate common lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal analyzers, power supplies, function generators, and data acquisition tools.
• Collect, organize, and extract test data; ensure traceability and repeatability of results within the existing system.
• Draft and maintain test reports, test logs, and validation documentation using standardized company formats and tools.
• Work with Test Engineers and Design Engineers to identify test scenarios, edge cases, and customer use cases; execute tests from the customer/system point of view.
• Support hardware testing, firmware/software logic testing, and regression testing as directed by test engineering leadership.
• Use AI tools to help generate, refine, and validate test cases and test scripts; extract insights from logs/results; and accelerate documentation workflows.
• Assist with debugging by reproducing issues, capturing evidence (measurements, logs, steps), and clearly communicating findings to engineering.
• Create and execute structured test scenarios based on system-level design documents, specifications, and engineering drawings.
• Perform basic schematic and technical diagram interpretation sufficient to set up tests and verify correct connections.
• Support rework and prototype build activities including soldering and component replacement when needed.
• Support selected production-related activities as assigned to assist manufacturing needs and overall operational priorities.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Strong hands-on lab skills and comfort working with electronics test equipment and wiring setups.
• Ability to follow test procedures with high attention to detail and consistent repeatability.
• Clear technical writing skills for test reports, results summaries, and documentation.
• Confident using AI tools for test case generation, test script drafting, regression planning, and iterative refinement of procedures.
• Strong troubleshooting mindset: able to isolate variables, reproduce failures, and document findings clearly.
• Organized and methodical with good file management and documentation habits within existing company systems.
• Able to manage multiple priorities and test activities without sacrificing quality.
• No engineering degree required.

Qualifications

• Associate degree required in a technical discipline related to electronics, electrical systems, testing, or manufacturing OR 3+ years of equivalent hands-on lab/test technician experience.
• Experience supporting product validation, manufacturing test, or quality testing in an electronics/mechatronics environment preferred.
• Familiarity with regression testing concepts and structured test documentation practices preferred.
• Ability to solder small surface-mount components (e.g., 0402/0603) and through-hole components cleanly and reliably preferred.
• Basic ability to read and interpret schematics, datasheets, and engineering drawings for test setup and verification preferred.
• Experience working with firmware/software test workflows (capturing logs, running scripts, verifying logic behavior) preferred.
• Comfortable creating test scenarios that reflect real customer environments and use cases preferred.
