Summary
The Engineer, Test Development designs, develops and implements automatic test equipment and test programs for product testing and design verification which ensure robust and high quality assembled products in manufacturing.
The Engineer, Test Development may specialize in many areas but are generally categorized into Structural (verification of an assembly process by testing each of its smaller elements and their interconnects) and Functional (verification that a design will perform its main purpose).

Detailed Description
Performs tasks such as, but not limited to, the following:

Work independently to develop technical solutions without assistance in a limited number of technical fields supporting common segments/technologies. May also solve complex problems in cooperation with a team of other engineers.

Attend and interact in technical customer meetings.

Provide high level test hardware and software solution architecture

Review equipment data sheets and select appropriate equipment based on requirements

Support creation of structural or functional test strategy and test plan to meet project goals and requirements

Support creation of technical proposals with costed BOM and hours estimates

Ability to research and comprehend relevant product technologies and skills associated with product technologies

Develop production test strategies based on product design specification

Design and develop test solutions including hardware & software elements and then system integration, qualification, and installation to meet product, quality and test requirements outlined in the test plan.

Debug of tester issues using design of experiments, tools, and failure analysis methodologies

Execute all validation/qualification requirements by applying statistical and common industry methods

Stabilization of Test Solutions for manufacturing working to optimize with process teams focussing on cycle time and yield.

Test developers may also work with product design teams with feedback from product testability, test coverage, diagnosability, reparability, firmware/diagnostics and user experience.

Keep up to date with relevant industry knowledge and regulations

Activities include:

Develop and execute manufacturing test strategy for new products

Development of test processes, test fixtures, and specialized tools for manufacturing test

Involvement in all areas of test solutions including both software and hardware elements.
