Senior Test Engineer

The posting, as Senra Systems wrote it

At Senra Systems, we believe that the future of manufacturing lies not in automation, but in configuration.

We supercharge electrical wire harness manufacturing through software configuration, transforming skilled assembly tasks into high-throughput production lines. We enable customers to design what they want, when they want it and deliver harness builds at record-breaking speed.

We're continuing to build the test organization at Senra Systems and are looking for a Senior Test Engineer to serve as a key technical leader of the function. This role goes beyond executing and developing test programs. You will be the senior technical authority for electrical test across the factory, responsible for establishing best practices, reviewing and approving test programs, solving the most challenging technical problems, and developing the next generation of Test Specialists.

You'll partner closely with Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Quality, and Program Management to ensure every harness leaves the factory with robust, repeatable, and scalable verification processes.

If you enjoy solving difficult technical problems, mentoring others, and building systems, not just running them, this role is for you.
