Hardware Test Engineering Co-op

Delta Faucet Company develops innovative plumbing products and digital water technologies. The Hardware Test Engineering Co-op will support the Connected Water Team by working hands-on with embedded systems and product hardware, including circuit board programming, electrical testing, PCB layout, debugging, test automation, and engineering lab management.

What you'll do:

• Solder, rework, and modify through-hole and surface-mount assemblies for prototypes, test fixtures, and engineering samples
• Assemble and wire test fixtures, harnesses, and benchtop setups from schematics and written instructions
• Program, flash, and bring up circuit boards; verify power rails, signal integrity, and basic functionality on new builds
• Execute electrical, functional, and reliability tests on products and subassemblies, and record results accurately
• Investigate test failures: reproduce the issue, isolate it to a component or subsystem, and document what you found so an engineer can act on it
• Write and maintain basic test scripts and data-logging routines to automate repetitive measurements
• Operate and troubleshoot standard bench equipment — oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, function generators, data acquisition systems, environmental chambers
• Produce PCB layouts for test fixtures, adapter boards, and design revisions under engineering guidance
• Review schematics and layouts for manufacturability and testability, and raise concerns before boards are ordered
• Suggest product and process improvements based on what you observe on the bench
• Organize and manage the engineering lab: equipment inventory, tool and fixture storage, consumable stock, workspace layout, and bench readiness
• Run the equipment calibration program — track calibration due dates, coordinate with vendors, maintain certificates, and keep instruments in a known-good state

What they're looking for:

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or related field
• Demonstrated hands-on experience — coursework labs, senior design, competition teams (IEEE, Robotics, etc.), maker projects, or personal builds. Show us what you have made
• Excellent soldering experience, including small components and SMT rework
• Foundational understanding of analog and digital circuits. Comfort reading schematics and interpreting datasheets and basic specifications
• Careful, methodical work habits. In test engineering, sloppy data is worse than no data, and this role is built on trustworthy measurements
• Clear written communication — you will write procedures and failure reports that other people rely on
• Familiarity with microcontrollers, embedded systems, and electronics lab equipment
• Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and a willingness to learn in a hands-on engineering environment
• Interest in IoT, connected products, or consumer electronics is a plus

Benefits:

• Equality, diversity and inclusion, flexibility, and work-life balance
• Comprehensive benefit plans
• Retirement and savings programs
• Tuition reimbursement
• Employee incentive programs
• Resources for mental, physical, and financial wellbeing
• LinkedIn Learning access
• Internal opportunities to work on projects cross-company
• Four employee-led and self-directed Business Resource Groups
• Paid volunteer day annually
