Responsibilities
- Develop test strategies, test plans, and test automation for new and existing products
- Collaborate with R&D product design engineers on Design for Test (DFT), ensuring new products are testable and manufacturable from the start
- Design, develop, and maintain board-level and functional test systems - including modern flying probe platforms from SPEA, bed-of-nails systems, and internally developed automated test stations
- Analyze test data to identify trends, root causes of failures, and opportunities for improvement
- Evaluate and implement new test technologies and methods
- Continuously identify, measure, and improve processes - continually driving to improve test performance and coverage
- Our manufacturing facilities are US-based, modern, clean, safe, and growing. Test Engineers are at the heart of what we do-you will see your work go from concept to production floor, often within the same building.
- Roles We Are Filling
- This Might Be For You If:
- You have a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering Technology, or equivalent
- You have a solid understanding of analog and digital electronics-that foundation matters more than prior test engineering experience
- You enjoy hands-on work and problem solving
- You have experience with (or want to learn) test system development, scripting, and instrumentation design
- You communicate clearly and work well on a team
- For lead-level candidates, we also look for:
- Experience in electronics test development-designing and building production test systems
- A track record of leading or mentoring engineers or technicians
- Experience with automation, instrumentation, and circuit analysis
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
- Even Better If:
- You have experience with DFT practices in electronics manufacturing
- You have knowledge of power systems protection products
- You have experience with flying probe, bed-of-nails, or functional test system development
- You have a background in firmware development for embedded test or self-test applications
- You have exposure to programming (Python, C, or similar)
- Why SEL
- Your work has purpose. Our customers rely on our products to keep critical systems fully operational-and we stand behind them 100 percent. By concentrating on our purpose, we continue to build our service to the electric power industry worldwide.
- You own what you build. SEL is 100% employee-owned. There are no outside shareholders. When the company succeeds, you share directly in that success through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
- You will grow here. We employ, train, and challenge highly qualified people. We know that th

Additional Information
Electronics Test Engineer (All Levels) We are hiring Electronics Test Engineers at all experience levels in Pullman, WA and Lewiston, ID . Whether you are early in your career and ready to grow into test engineering or a seasoned engineer ready to lead, we have a place for you on our team. Why This Work Matters Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories exists to make electric power safer, more reliable, and more economical. Our devices must respond to system faults within milliseconds-to ensure safety, avoid damage, and minimize outages. Hundreds of utilities and millions of industrial, commercial, and residential consumers depend on SEL products every day. Our products are industry-leading, and our test infrastructure must be as well. Test engineering is where electronics design, instrumentation, Design for Test (DFT), and quality engineering meet production. We engineer the infrastructure, test systems, methods, and automation that help ensure our products perform reliably in production and in the field. As an Electronics Test Engineer, you sit at the intersection of product design and manufacturing, doing hands-on test development from concept through production.
