At Boston Dynamics, we blend advanced mechanical design, state-of-the-art control systems, and AI-driven perception to create robots capable of performing in unstructured, real-world environments. We are looking for a talented Senior Staff Electrical Test Engineer to support the Atlas program, helping to transform groundbreaking research prototypes into reliable, scalable systems for manufacturing and field deployment. Check out the work space! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP_i7hRvGpE About the Role: As a Senior Staff Electrical Test Engineer on the Atlas program, you will lead the design, deployment, and debug of manufacturing test systems for our next-generation robotics. You’ll own test coverage across cable/harness, PCBA, and electromechanical assemblies for our in-house pilot production, building highly reliable and scalable test equipment built to support long-term growth. Partnering with cross-functional engineering teams, you will establish technical standards for factory acceptance testing to eliminate defects before they reach the field as we scale from R&D to production. Responsibilities: Act as a technical liaison to manufacturing and production teams and provide test engineering support to drive continuous improvement for test method/machine related issues. Provide design for test (DFT) recommendations for test coverage, fault isolation capability, and failure trends. Document test procedures, fixtures, configurations, and best practices. Design, specify, and commission PCBA functional test fixtures. Design, build, and debug hi-pot / dielectric withstand test stations. Debug existing test systems while proactively evolving and future-proofing next-generation electrical testers. Provide project management and design support for outsourced test development. Analyze test results and provide feedback to improve product quality and testing processes. Work with quality and process engineering teams to support failure analysis of test failures to drive root cause corrective actions. Support station duplication, maintenance, and deployments for repair and service teams. Train both internal and external manufacturing in the use and support of production test equipment, test programs, and debug processes. Provide short-term sustaining support on existing lines, identifying root-causes for test escapes, correlation issues, and fixture failures, and driving fixes. Mentor other team engineers and technicians. Qualifications: BS or MS in Electrical/Electromechanical Engineering or equivalent and 8+ years of relevant experience. Hands-on experience designing, building, and debugging hi-pot/dielectric withstand test setups. Hands-on experience with bed-of-nails or clamshell-style PCBA test fixtures. Experience with common test instrumentation: power supplies, DMMs, DAQ hardware. Demonstrated ability to take a new product from design handoff through validated, production-ready test coverage (NPI experience). Strong electrical debug skills. Is comfortable tracing intermittent or low-repeatability failures to root cause. Test software development using programming languages such as Python or C++. Able to read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings and apply fundamental knowledge to analyze designs. Strong communication and technical documentation skills. Self-motivated and able to work in an ambiguous environment with minimal supervision. Experience with 3D modeling software (Catia, Solidworks, NX, etc) Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout software using Altium or equivalent. Preferred Qualifications Experience in robotics, aerospace, precision actuators, or high-performance electromechanical systems. Experience with test executive frameworks (e.g., LabVIEW, TestStand). Experience with PLM systems such as Arena or Enovia for revision control and documentation management. Experience with PCB design in Altium Familiarity with SPC, yield tracking, or MES integration. Experience working with external suppliers, contract manufacturers, or design firms on tooling and test requirements. Experience with Windows and Linux operating systems. Experience with root cause analysis supported by data analytics. The pay range for this position is between $140,000 to $185,000 annually. Base pay will depend on multiple individualized factors including, but not limited to internal equity, job related knowledge, skills and experience. This range represents a good faith estimate of compensation at the time of posting. Boston Dynamics offers a generous Benefits package including medical, dental vision, 401(k), paid time off and a annual bonus structure. Additional details regarding these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer for employment. We are growing rapidly, building a commercial company that delivers cutting edge technology and solutions to our customers from industrial applications to logistics and warehouse solutions.
