Test Hardware Engineer (Electrical)

Join Impulse as a Test Hardware Engineer, where you will design, build, deploy, and support the common electrical test hardware that powers our test infrastructure. You will create standardized, reusable building blocks for test engineers and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure rapid, reliable deployment of test assets. This role offers a competitive salary, equity allocation, and generous PTO accrual.

• Design, build, deploy, and support common electrical test hardware for test infrastructure.
• Create standardized, reusable building blocks for test engineers, including various test systems and support hardware.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure rapid, reliable deployment of test assets.
• Bachelor's degree in electrical, aerospace, mechanical, or related engineering discipline
• Experience with EPLAN or similar electrical design tools
• Experience creating and maintaining electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, and assembly documentation
• Working knowledge of data acquisition, instrumentation, sensors, controls, wiring, power supplies, networking, and electrical system integration
• 2+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, integrating, or operating electrical test hardware, laboratory equipment, industrial automation systems, or similar engineering hardware
• Hands-on experience with hardware checkout, commissioning, troubleshooting, and operation in a fast-paced environment
• 4+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, integrating, or operating electrical test hardware, laboratory equipment, industrial automation systems, or similar engineering hardware
• Strong EPLAN experience, including project structure, device tagging, terminal blocks, wire numbering, panel layouts, reports, and drawing release workflows
• Experience designing modular or reusable test hardware platforms rather than one-off test equipment
• Experience with NI, Beckhoff, ifm, PLCs, real-time control systems, IO-Link devices, Ethernet/IP devices, EtherCAT devices, or other industrial automation hardware
