Electronics Test Engineer

Description:

We are seeking a test engineer with a good cultural fit to lead buildout of test development and automation for characterization of polymer capacitor film and capacitor devices. The candidate would play an essential role in bringing nanolayered polymer capacitor films to market by supporting metrology efforts designed to understand, forecast, and facilitate transition from film level to device level dielectric and thermal performance. Key responsibilities include automating existing film dielectric testing methods and developing new metrology to evaluate capacitor voltage and temperature handling to predict device longevity and lifetime. The ideal candidate has experience in high voltage and/or high temperature measurement of electrical properties of polymer film and film capacitors, and is eager to build something new.

Responsibilities:

  • Basic thin film testing & metrology
  • Test Automation
  • Test System design for evaluation of capacitors at high voltage and/or temperature
  • Method development for capacitors to improve testing throughput
  • Post-mortem failure analysis of capacitor film and capacitor devices
  • Film and device structure imaging

Requirements:

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Material Science, Physics, or equivalent
  • Experience with electrical test equipment
  • Familiarity with test automation tools (such as Labview, Teststand, etc.)
  • Basic testing hardware troubleshooting skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English

Nice to have:

  • Understanding of physical measurement methods
  • Data management experience via a DB (MySQL, SQL, Postgres, etc)
  • CAD experience (Solidworks or similar)
  • Scripting experience (ex. Python)
  • Familiarity with metallized film capacitor fabrication
  • Previous experience supporting a manufacturing environment
  • Experience with optical and electron microscopies
  • Electronics design experience
  • Materials science experience related to polymers and thin films

Schedule: Monday – Friday
