Senior System Integration Engineer - Test & Validation

Halo Industries, Inc., a pioneer in manufacturing innovation with light-based technologies, seeks a highly skilled System Integration Engineer to join our dynamic team. Our proprietary advancements replace traditional processes with novel light-based equivalents, offering higher quality, lower cost, and enhanced functionality. As we rapidly expand our operations, we're looking for a team to oversee our prototype systems' integration and verification activities.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Senior System Integration Engineer – Test & Validation to join our dynamic team. This role is crucial for the successful integration, testing, and deployment of our cutting-edge laser-based wafer manufacturing systems. The ideal candidate will have deep hands-on experience with complex electro-mechanical and optomechanical hardware, including lasers, motion stages, and control electronics, and will be responsible for ensuring that all system components perform to specification through rigorous test and validation.

This position requires a strong understanding of system-level hardware integration, data acquisition, and test automation, along with the ability to diagnose issues across electrical, mechanical, and optical domains. This is a hardware-focused, documentation, test, and validation role – ideal for an engineer passionate about working directly with instrumentation, sensors, and high precision actuators to drive reliability and performance improvements in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Responsibilities

• Lead the hardware integration and validation of complex laser-based wafer manufacturing systems, including optical, mechanical, electrical, and precision motion subsystems.
• Develop and execute detailed hardware test procedures – from subsystem acceptance tests to system-level validation – ensuring performance meets design and reliability requirements.
• Author and maintain comprehensive test documentation including ATP’s, subsystem and system test plans, checklists, assembly and build instructions, and user manuals.
• Work closely with technicians to ensure consistent build quality, accurate documentation, and reproducible test processes.
• Design and specify test setup, instrumentation and data acquisition requirements needed to validate system functionality and performance.
• Perform hands-on testing, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis across electrical, mechanical, optical and controls domains.
• Collect, analyze, and interpret test data, identifying trends, deviations, and opportunities for design or process improvements.
• Contribute to the development of automation tools for data collection and test execution (LabVIEW, Python, or equivalent).
• Collaborate with cross functional teams – including mechanical, electrical, optical, and software engineers to resolve integration and performance issues.
• Contribute to design and readiness reviews, providing feedback focused on hardware testability, manufacturability, and serviceability.
