Hardware Test Engineering Intern

Who you are

• Are well versed with complex electromechanical systems and are passionate about understanding what it takes to make them work reliably
• Have experience developing full system test plans and know how to execute them in fast-paced product development timelines
• Have experience with testing a wide range of sensors, actuators, and mechanical components
• Can prototype and run your own tests, from experimental setup to hardware and software implementation
• Familiarity with Linux systems and scripting in various languages (Python preferred)
• Familiarity with HALT and HASS testing
• Even if you don't check every box, but see yourself contributing, please apply

What the job involves

• We’re a team of hands-on builders, engineers, and innovators reinventing how the world makes physical things
• If you’re ready to shape the future of fabrication, come build it with us
• We’re looking for a R&D Test Engineer who will play a key role in running tests and partner closely with the engineers to perform systemized tests on 3d printers and report your findings
• The output of this work will determine future features and settings for our 3d printers
• The Hardware Reliability Engineering team ensures that Formlabs products in development are reliable and ready to ship, as well as triaging reliability issues of current products already in the field
• We work closely with design teams of all disciplines to find product flaws as fast as possible and then work on redesigns to make more robust systems
• Internship Term: Winter/Spring (January - April)
• Commitment: Full-time
• Develop, execute, and manage system, subsystem, and component level validation test plans to ensure products meet design and reliability requirements. Work with other teams to ensure a thorough system is completed
• Perform hands-on and data-driven root cause analysis to triage field failures and electromechanical systems, utilizing common problem-solving methodologies and a "physics of failure" approach
• Design, build, and implement automated testing equipment for subsystem characterization and reliability/environmental testing
• Collaborate with the design team throughout product development to perform risk assessments, manage continuous testing, and contribute to design reviews

The application process

• Application Materials: A portfolio of your previous engineering work/projects is recommended
