Electrical Test Engineer

HRL Laboratories pioneers the next frontiers of physical and information science. Delivering transformative technologies in automotive, aerospace and defense, HRL advances the critical missions of its customers to help them remove limitations and create competitive advantage. HRL then transitions the work back to customers – ready for real-world application. For more than 70 years, HRL’s rich portfolio of scientific discoveries and engineering innovations continues to build on each other — often in unexpected, profound and far-reaching ways. As a private company owned jointly by Boeing and GM, HRL prioritizes purpose over profit, significantly advancing the state of the art.

HRL Laboratories advances critical structural and functional materials and semiconductor devices that enable precision navigation, quantum technologies and extreme-environment performance. With expertise from design through deployment, we deliver scalable, high-performance solutions that transform our customers’ missions. Our work leverages digital manufacturing and scalable microfabrication techniques to meet tomorrow’s toughest challenges.

Key Responsibilities:

•    Develop system level validation by defining test plans, developing pass/fail criteria, and ensuring release readiness through robust test coverage and reproducible results
•    Partner cross functionally to ensure requirements flow down, system integration readiness, and technical documentation needed for smooth transition to low-rate production
•    Maintain configuration control, support engineering change processes, and prepare prototypes and early production IMUs for external evaluation and qualification
•    Perform testing, characterization, and assembly of advanced electronic and hardware assemblies
•    Analyze, report and present test results to technical staff and management
•    Operate electronic test equipment to verify, evaluate, and troubleshoot instrumentation systems and components

Required Qualifications:

•    Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Electronics Technology, Physics, or related field
•    3+ years of related hands-on electronics experience
•    Experience managing production and test documentation as well as requirements validation and artifact production
•    Knowledge of fundamental electrical engineering and circuit design principles
•    Proficiency with MATLAB, Python, LabVIEW, or similar for data analysis and automation
•    Experience using test equipment (e.g. VNA, TDR, oscilloscope)
•    Strong hardware fundamentals (analog, digital, mixed signal, power) and understanding of how they interact with embedded firmware
•    Excellent oral and written communication skills •    Ability to work well in a team and independently
