Hardware Test Engineering Co-op

What you'd do

• Solder, rework, and modify through-hole and surface-mount assemblies for prototypes, test fixtures, and engineering samples.
• Assemble and wire test fixtures, harnesses, and benchtop setups from schematics and written instructions.
• Program, flash, and bring up circuit boards; verify power rails, signal integrity, and basic functionality on new builds.Test and Debug
• Execute electrical, functional, and reliability tests on products and subassemblies, and record results accurately.
• Investigate test failures: reproduce the issue, isolate it to a component or subsystem, and document what you found so an engineer can act on it.
• Write and maintain basic test scripts and data-logging routines to automate repetitive measurements.
• Operate and troubleshoot standard bench equipment — oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, function generators, data acquisition systems, environmental chambers.Design Support
• Produce PCB layouts for test fixtures, adapter boards, and design revisions under engineering guidance.
• Review schematics and layouts for manufacturability and testability, and raise concerns before boards are ordered.
• Suggest product and process improvements based on what you observe on the benchLab and Calibration Ownership

What they want

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or related field
• Demonstrated hands-on experience — coursework labs, senior design, competition teams (IEEE, Robotics, etc.), maker projects, or personal builds. Show us what you have made.
• Excellent soldering experience, including small components and SMT rework
• Foundational understanding of analog and digital circuits. Comfort reading schematics and interpreting datasheets and basic specifications.
• Careful, methodical work habits. In test engineering, sloppy data is worse than no data, and this role is built on trustworthy measurements.
• Clear written communication — you will write procedures and failure reports that other people rely on.
• Familiarity with microcontrollers, embedded systems, and electronics lab equipment
• Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and a willingness to learn in a hands-on engineering environment
• Interest in IoT, connected products, or consumer electronics is a plus

What you get

• Culture: Recognized and award-winning reputation for equality, diversity and inclusion, flexibility, work-life balance, and more.
• Wellbeing: Comprehensive benefit plans; retirement, savings, tuition reimbursement, and employee incentive programs; resources for mental, physical, and financial wellbeing.
• Learning & Development: LinkedIn Learning access; internal opportunities to work on projects cross-company.
• Social Impact: Four employee-led and self-directed Business Resource Groups; Paid volunteer day annually; Employees share their time, skills and talent with charities and nonprofit organizations across the U.S. and around the globe.
