4+ years of industry experience in development testing.
Degree in mechanical, electrical, mechatronics, engineering physics or equivalent hands-on experience.
Experience with hardware-in-the-loop or instrumentation-heavy tests.
Strong systems-level thinking across entire device functionality.
Capable of designing rapid experiments that prioritize learning and risk reduction.
Proven record of independently building custom test setups from scratch.
Demonstrates high integrity and strong professional judgment.
Responsibilities
Design and build test systems for evaluating device performance and safety.
Identify key testing priorities at the system level and create impactful experiments.
Execute comprehensive tests and analyze results for feedback into design processes.
Maintain and expand a library of validation and characterization tests as systems evolve.
Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams while managing tasks autonomously.
Benefits
Collaborative work environment encouraging innovation.
Opportunity to work on diverse testing technologies across multiple domains.
Engagement in meaningful projects affecting device development and clinical applications.
Full Job Description
About the role
As a development test engineer at Nudge, you will:
Design and build test systems to evaluate device performance, safety, and reliability with mechanical, electrical, acoustic, fabrication, and software components
Identify what matters most to test at a system level and translate risk into high-signal experiments before clinical use
Execute tests, analyze results, and feed clear learnings back into device and system design
Own and grow a library of validation and characterization tests as the system evolves
About you
We are looking for engineers with at least 4 years of industry experience. Regardless of your career level, you should have:
Experience building and running hardware-in-the-loop or instrumentation-heavy tests (acoustic, mechanical, electrical, or mixed-domain)
A degree in an engineering discipline (mechanical, electrical, mechatronics, engineering physics, or similar) or equivalent hands-on experience
Strong systems-level thinking of the entire device rather than isolated components
Comfort designing scrappy, fast experiments focused on learning and risk reduction rather than polish
Proven ability to work autonomously while collaborating closely with interdisciplinary engineering teams
A track record of building custom test setups from scratch when no standard test exists
