ELECTRICAL INTEGRATION & TEST ENGINEER
Mesh Optical Technologies was founded on the belief that optical photons will be at the center of advanced technologies in the coming century. Making advanced technology ubiquitous means building at scale, and that's exactly what we're doing at Mesh.
We are seeking an Electrical Integration & Test Engineer to own the electrical integration of production equipment, test systems, and development lab infrastructure. You will get deeply familiar with the electrical design of our products and production systems and are expected to participate in every step of the integration process-from line bring-up and debug through production ramp and sustained operation.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Own the electrical integration of production equipment, test systems, and workstations across manufacturing lines and development labs
Lead electrical bring-up, debug, and validation of new and modified production cells and test stations, resolving issues across power, signal, controls, and instrumentation boundaries
Own end-of-line test systems and development lab test assets, including their electrical hardware, cabling, instrumentation interfaces, and long-term operational reliability
Design, build, integrate, and maintain electrical test fixtures, cable assemblies, and hardware interfaces used for qualification, validation, and manufacturing
Define and maintain electrical interfaces between tools, instruments, fixtures, and factory infrastructure, including power distribution, grounding, and signal routing
Serve as front-line electrical engineering support for the production floor, troubleshooting electrical issues and driving rapid resolution
Evaluate proposed designs for electrical integration feasibility, providing feedback on connector access, cable routing, test point placement, and debug accessibility
Evaluate nonconformances and electrical failures to determine root cause and drive corrective action and system improvements
Drive test readiness for new product introductions, revisions, and production ramps
Interface with both engineers and technicians to optimize electrical integration, test, and automation workflows QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related engineering discipline
1+ years of hands-on experience in electrical integration, test, hardware debug, or manufacturing (internships, co-ops, and substantive project experience qualify)
Experience with electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and system-level electrical documentation
Hands-on experience with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, power supplies)
Strong electrical debugging and troubleshooting skills
Demonstrated engineering intuition, critical thinking, and comfort with ambiguity
Willingness to work extended hours and weekends as needed PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
Experience with optical, RF, or high-speed electrical test equipment (e.g., VNAs, BERTs, optical power meters, high-bandwidth oscilloscopes)
Experience integrating or maintaining multi-station production test systems or factory automation equipment
Experience designing electrical test fixtures, probe interfaces, or cable assemblies
Familiarity with data acquisition systems, instrument control (GPIB, USB, Ethernet), or test automation frameworks
Scripting or programming experience (e.g., Python, LabVIEW) for instrument control, data collection, or test automation
Experience with PCB bring-up, board-level debug, or electrical validation workflows
Familiarity with power distribution, grounding practices, and signal integrity in production environments
Experience writing test plans, procedures, and providing go/no-go judgment and rationale
Experience working in Linux environments
Documentation and configuration management experience in a production environment COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:
Pay range:
Electrical Integration & Test Engineer: $115,000.00 - $140,000.00/per year
Title and base salary are determined on a case by case basis commensurate with experience and merit.
