Eightsleep Hardware Prototype & Test Engineer at Eight Sleep leading testing and validation of hardware products. Build physical prototypes, run experiments, and manage test data to support product development.
Responsibilities
We’re looking for an experienced HW Systems Test Engineer, Special Projects to lead testing and validation of our products. You’ll be part of a small, mission-driven team working on innovative new technology products. We’re growing quickly so there are ample opportunities for career growth.
This is hardware test engineering, end to end. Build physical prototypes, bring up hardware, run through experiments that stresses our state of the art products and sensors to generate test data, then manage data to create actionable information for the team.
This is not QA - it’s test for hardware systems and manufacturing environments.
This role is based out of our San Francisco Office 5 days/week or Boulder/Denver area, and expected travel up to 20%.
How you’ll contribute
Design and run experiments to validate the performance of new designs, as well as track and analyze results.
Develop and maintain automated test applications and GUIs for production environments, hardware validation, and reliability testing.
Prototype and test complex electromechanical systems, including sensors, pumps, mechanisms, and electronics.
Build prototypes using techniques like 3D printing, machining, and quick turn tooling with in-house tools and external suppliers.
Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software engineering to support efforts across the product development lifecycle.
Develop test systems using embedded hardware like Arduino, and coding in Python.
Software integrations with physical instrumentation and custom hardware/firmware
