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.

Project Details

  • Duration: Short-term project

  • Work Type: Electrical test automation, technical problem-solving, and expert evaluation
