Test Engineer II

We are seeking a Test Engineer 2 to support the design, test, and manufacturing transfer of fluidic components, consumables, and sub-systems for our target detection platform. This is a hands-on laboratory role with a strong focus on building, characterizing, and troubleshooting fluidic and electrochemistry test setups. Building on a foundation of R&D and instrumentation experience, you will take ownership of test plans, drive characterization and root cause investigations with increasing independence, and help mature our test methods as the platform develops.

• Plan, set up, and execute fluidic and electrochemistry experiments in the lab, owning test plans from definition through data analysis
• Program, configure, and debug fluidic instrumentation and automated test setups
• Assemble and perform metrology on prototype consumables and fluidic sub-assemblies
• Characterize flow profile, pressure, leakage, and material interactions for devices under test, identifying performance trends and failure modes
• Assemble, maintain, and debug test setups and fixtures, improving their reliability, repeatability, and throughput
• Support root cause analyses and design of experiments (DOE) to resolve hardware, consumable, and process issues
• Analyze, document, and present test results and recommendations to cross-functional teams
• Partner with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to support manufacturing transfer of fluidic components and consumables
• Contribute to the development of test methods, fixtures, and documentation standards

• 2 to 4 years of hands-on experience in an R&D laboratory or equivalent
• Demonstrated experience with the assembly, operation, and troubleshooting of fluidic-based systems
• Experience with experimental design and execution, including DOEs and root cause analysis
• Proven ability to work both independently and collaboratively across disciplines
• Ability to analyze data and present technical results and recommendations clearly
• Experience with programming (MATLAB, LabVIEW, C++, Python, or similar) is preferred
• Experience with metrology, prototype consumables, or design-to-manufacturing transfer is preferred
• Familiarity with microfluidics, analytical instrumentation, or DNA-based platforms (sequencing, PCR, molecular diagnostics) is preferred

B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical, Bioengineering, or a related field with 2+ years of relevant hands-on experience. An equivalent combination of education and directly applicable industry experience will also be considered.
