Electrical Test Automation Engineer

About the Role

Mercor is partnering with a leading technology organization to recruit experienced Electrical Test Automation Engineers for a short-term project. Engineers will apply hands-on industry experience in electrical testing, automation, instrumentation, and hardware validation to solve complex technical problems.

What You'll Do

• Design and implement automated test systems, procedures, and test sequences for electrical and electronic hardware.
• Integrate test instruments, data acquisition systems, and hardware interfaces to automate measurements and testing.
• Develop test scripts, automation frameworks, and data analysis workflows.
• Perform functional, performance, validation, regression, and HIL testing where applicable.
• Analyze test results, troubleshoot hardware and test setups, and identify root causes of failures.
• Review and validate test methodologies, results, and technical approaches against project requirements.

Who Should Apply

• Electrical Test, Test Automation, Electrical, or Hardware Test Engineers with hands-on industry experience.
• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Instrumentation, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• Experience developing or executing automated electrical test systems and working with laboratory instrumentation.
• Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, C/C++, or equivalent.
• Experience with test automation, data acquisition, and instrument-control protocols such as SCPI, GPIB, USB, Ethernet, CAN, or RS-232/485.
• Ability to interpret electrical schematics, test specifications, and technical documentation.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ATE, automated test benches, custom test fixtures, NI hardware, LabVIEW/TestStand, PXI/PXIe, or DAQ systems.
• Experience with HIL/SIL, automated regression testing, or Python-based test automation.
• Experience testing power electronics, batteries, EVs, motors, embedded systems, or other complex electrical hardware.
• Experience with high-voltage or safety-critical systems is a plus.
