Job Title: Mechatronics Test Engineer
Client: Amazon
Location: Boston MA (Onsite)
Duration: 12 Months
Engagement: C2C Contract
Rate: C2C
Work Authorization: Open / Any Visa
Interview: Video Interview
Position Summary
We are seeking a hands-on Mechatronics Test Engineer to own technical execution for prototype robotic and physical-AI hardware. This is not a traditional lab technician role. The engineer will design test methods plans benches fixtures and acceptance criteria; execute characterization functional reliability and environmental testing; troubleshoot failures across electrical and mechanical systems; and deliver clear trustworthy results to hardware and robotics teams.
Key Responsibilities
Design build and operate test benches for robotic power systems motion actuation sensor arrays electronics and communication interfaces.
Develop test plans methods acceptance criteria build procedures and documentation in partnership with hardware engineers.
Create custom fixtures jigs and validation setups using mechanical fabrication electrical wiring instrumentation and software scripting.
Support prototype hardware builds integrating actuators force/torque sensors IMUs encoders vision systems compute modules and power distribution.
Perform PCB bring-up and debug; interpret schematics PCB layouts and mechanical drawings; triage component- board- and system-level issues.
Validate and troubleshoot CAN EtherCAT and RS-485 communication including timing signal integrity and protocol issues.
Own root cause and failure analysis across power compute communications actuation and sensing; reproduce failures and author actionable reports.
Design and execute reliability and environmental programs including HALT HASS ALT reliability growth thermal cycling vibration mechanical stress and long-duration soak testing.
Maintain calibration and equipment certification records and provide DFM/DFA feedback based on build and test experience.
Required Qualifications
Bachelors degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering Mechatronics Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
7 years of hands-on experience in hardware development test engineering verification and validation reliability or systems integration.
Strong experience in robotics or complex automation systems; automotive or aerospace experience is also relevant.
Experience developing test methods test plans custom fixtures test benches and acceptance criteria from scratch.
Hardware reliability testing experience including HALT HASS ALT or reliability growth testing.
Experience testing actuators sensors batteries power systems electronics and robotic manipulation or mechatronic systems.
Deep proficiency with oscilloscopes logic analyzers multimeters signal analyzers and component- and system-level debugging.
Ability to independently read electrical schematics PCB layouts and mechanical drawings.
Strong written documentation skills for test plans procedures build logs and failure-analysis reports.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with physical AI high-DoF robotics servo drives or embedded motor control.
Familiarity with FMEA Weibull analysis HIL testing and environmental reliability methods.
Python scripting for test automation data logging and results analysis.
CAD experience with SolidWorks Fusion 360 or similar tools for fixture design.
