About this role
Company OverviewEcho Neurotechnologies is an exciting new startup in the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) space, driving innovation through advanced hardware engineering and AI solutions. Our mission is to deliver cutting-edge technologies that restore autonomy to people living with disabilities and improve their quality of life.
Team CultureJoin a small, dedicated team of knowledgeable and motivated professionals. Our early-stage environment offers the opportunity to take ownership of broad decisions with significant and long-lasting impact. We emphasize continuous learning and growth, fostering cross-functional collaboration where your contributions are vital to our success.
About the Role: We are seeking a Senior System Test Engineer to design and implement robust manufacturing test solutions for our hardware products. This role sits at the intersection of systems, electrical, mechanical, and software engineering—owning how our product is tested at scale. You’ll translate product requirements into effective test strategies and build the fixtures, software, and processes needed to ensure every unit meets performance and quality standards.
What You’ll Do:
Define and design end-of-line and in-process manufacturing test systems to validate core product functionality
Translate system and product requirements into comprehensive test plans, specifications, and coverage
Design and develop test fixtures and hardware, including PCB-level interfaces and basic mechanical structures (how devices are held, connected, and tested)
Develop test software using tools like LabVIEW or Python to automate test execution and data collection
Collaborate with EE, ME, firmware, and systems teams to ensure testability is built into the product design
Lead bring-up, validation, and optimization of manufacturing test systems
Analyze test data, debug failures, and drive root cause investigations
Support scaling from prototype builds to production, improving test efficiency, reliability, and throughput
Work with contract manufacturers and vendors to deploy and maintain test systems
What We’re Looking For:
7–10+ years of experience in system test, manufacturing test, or related roles
Strong ability to translate requirements into test strategies and system design (not just execute tests)
Experience designing test fixtures, including some combination of electrical (PCB/interface design) and mechanical elements
Proficiency in test automation using Python, LabVIEW, or similar tools
Hands-on experience testing hardware in a manufacturing or production environment
Systems mindset—able to think holistically about product functionality and test coverage
Comfortable owning both test architecture and implementation
Good balance between having a sense of urgency and optimizing systems
Comfortable with version control systems, good programming practices to encourage collaboration between internal and external teams
Excellent communication skills to ensure all stakeholders are proactively involved
Nice to Have:
Experience in medical devices or other regulated industries
Familiarity with manufacturing environments and contract manufacturers
Experience with data analysis, test databases, or production metrics
Background in DFT (Design for Test) or NPI (New Product Introduction)
What We OfferAn opportunity to work on exciting, cutting-edge projects to transform patients’ lives in a highly collaborative work environment.
Competitive compensation, including stock options.
Comprehensive benefits package.
401(k) program with matching contributions.
