Summary:

The Test & Automation Engineer designs, develops, and deploys automated test equipment (ATE) and test methods for electrical generators and components including electrical, mechanical, and dynamic (vibration/environmental) testing across all development and production phases. The role also applies automation principles to manufacturing processes (PLC/SCADA/industrial controls) to improve throughput, quality, and cost.

• Consolidate all data (users, context) in order to develop a complete system architecture.
• Understand and translate user requirements into solutions.
• Master the overall design of an automated/computerized system, integrating scalability and sustainability aspects.
• Model and break down the system to make technical choices regarding hardware, software, or application packages.
• Manage the project from preliminary design to acceptance and estimate the work in terms of costs and deadlines.
• Design and implement test and validation plans.
• Manage subcontractors (studies, implementations), integrate configuration management, documentation, and training.
• Ensure the interface with other engineering and manufacturing partners based on project scope.
• Test system & ATE design:
  Build, and validate modular ATE; integrate measuring devices, power supplies, DAQ, and motion/IO for automated electrical and dynamic tests.
• Produce simulation/trade studies (e.g., load profiles, harmonics, thermal, and vibration exposure) to set test limits and protect DUTs and assets.
• Consider signal and power quality parameters and design safeguarding measures to prevent DUT and/or company assets impact.
• Test methods, execution & compliance:
  Translate system and regulatory requirements into test plans, procedures, sequences, and reports for development, qualification, and production acceptance; manage results traceability and signal troubleshooting.
• Plan and design test equipment and sequences aligned to aerospace environmental/electrical standards where applicable, support the development of calibration methods for signal and automatic operation parameters.
• Develop and create process documentation for safe operations of the ATE and Automated Means.
• Manufacturing automation & industrial controls:
  Design and deploy PLC/SCADA automation for manufacturing and end‑of‑line testing.
• Collaborate with IT/IS and Digital teams to develop, deploy, and support the digitalization of the industrial activities across the production lines.
• Translate manufacturing practices to automation specifications for external collaboration with vendors and other automation parties.
• Safety, quality & governance:
  Ensure adherence to AS9100 processes and site safety programs.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Automation Engineering and 3 years related field experience.
• Hands‑on development with NI LabVIEW and DAQ data acquisition.
• Proficiency in electrical measurements and instrumentation (e.g., power analyzers, scope, DMM, DAQ, SMU), test data capture/analysis, and technical reporting.
• PLC/controls experience for manufacturing automation, interlocks, and end‑of‑line testing.
• Working grasp…
