Position Summary

The Voting System/Hardware Test Engineer supports the testing and certification of voting technology systems, including hardware, software, firmware, and related documentation. This role conducts structured tests, documents results, identifies discrepancies, and helps assess compliance with applicable regulatory and certification requirements.

This position also provides administrative and project oversight for hardware-related testing activities within the Voting System Test Laboratory (VSTL). Responsibilities include scheduling tests, coordinating with subcontractor laboratories, managing hardware analysis and functional testing, and developing hardware testing methodologies.

This role is ideal for candidates with a strong foundation in electrical engineering and an interest in compliance, quality assurance, regulated technologies, and election systems.

• Support re-testing efforts following issue resolution.

• Oversee hardware test tools, including maintenance and calibration.

• Oversee on-site and off-site laboratory testing to ensure hardware testing is completed successfully.
• Work with the Test Manager to estimate, track, and compare planned versus actual hardware testing hours for internal projects.
• Support technical discussions, analyze engineering change orders, and answer technical questions, seeking assistance from the Test Manager as needed.

• Maintain detailed and accurate records throughout the testing lifecycle.
• Learn and apply Election Assistance Commission (EAC) and other applicable voting system requirements.

• Collaborate with team members to complete testing projects in line with quality, schedule, and regulatory expectations.
