Electrical Test Engineer

Oura Oura · Consumer · Oulu, Finland · Hardware

Electrical Test Engineer role focused on hands-on electrical testing, validation, and debugging of wearable products throughout the product lifecycle. Responsibilities include developing and automating electrical tests, executing hardware validation, debugging electrical issues, performing failure analysis, and defining/transferring test methods to manufacturing. Requires experience with electronic components, embedded systems, communication interfaces (UART, BLE), and electrical measurement equipment.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design and own electrical tests used for component- and subsystem-level validation in development and manufacturing.
  2. Write Python-based test code that communicates directly with devices over UART and BLE, handling measurements, timing checks, and protocol verification.
  3. Create test cases that verify electrical behavior against datasheet limits and design requirements.
  4. Assemble, modify, and maintain physical test setups and fixtures used during hardware bring-up, debugging, and failure analysis.
  5. Execute electrical tests on components and subsystems during prototype bring-up, validation, and production support.
