Production Engineer

About the role

As a Production Engineer, you will play a key role within the Test Engineering team, programming test software and documenting test procedures to scale production of next-generation drone platforms. You will take ownership of verification and production test equipment, from defining test concepts to designing automated test solutions, jigs, and needle-bed adapters. This hands-on role involves collaborating with software and electronics engineers to enhance test coverage and efficiency across the manufacturing process.

Responsibilities

• Research, design and build test solutions, including auto generated, 3D printed test equipment and CNC milled custom test jigs, and needle-bed adapters to enable low-volume prototyping and mid- to high-volume PCB production.
• Plan and execute product verification, covering test case definition, execution, analysis, and comprehensive documentation, also for repair guidance.
• Write Python code and STM32 firmware to test our embedded products from the inside (selftest) and outside (via test fixture).
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams by offering technical guidance and hands-on support for testing and validation of advanced avionics PCBs and modular systems.
• Specify and document additional manufacturer tests (like flying probe) to allow for a layered, holistic approach to test coverage.
• Write Repair Guides that document the error cases and the affected components.
• Guide manufacturers with new product integrations usually in person in the factory.
• Manage tracking systems across multiple locations to inspect the product workflow.
• Support internal CI systems with real hardware to validate test procedures before upgrading test fixtures at OEMs.
