Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about an automated test setup you built. What did you use to control it and collect data?
What they are checking: Whether they can build automated test systems with tools like Python or LabVIEW to scale testing.
Tell me about a time your testing found a problem the design team had missed.
What they are checking: Whether they have caught real issues and handled the conversation with designers well.
How do you keep your test equipment and fixtures organized so others on the team can use them?
What they are checking: Whether they think about shared lab resources and repeatable setups.
What would you do
A board fails one test out of a hundred runs. How do you figure out whether it's the board or your test setup?
What they are checking: Whether they question their own setup and isolate variables before blaming the design.
The design team wants test results by Friday, but a proper test needs two weeks. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they can offer useful early data while being honest about what a shortened test can and can't show.
About the work
Walk me through a test plan you wrote for a new electronic assembly. How did you decide what to test and how hard to push it?
What they are checking: Whether they can design tests that find weak points rather than just confirm the design works.
How would you test a motor controller board for a cordless tool so you're confident it will survive real jobsite use?
What they are checking: Whether they think about stall, temperature, vibration and battery voltage extremes that tools actually see.
What does a good failure report look like, so the design engineer can act on it right away?
What they are checking: Whether they report failures with conditions, data and evidence clear enough to drive a fix.
How do you test the safety features in a tool's electronics, like overcurrent and overtemperature protection?
What they are checking: Whether they verify that protections trip correctly and reliably, which protects users.
How do you make sure your measurements of current, voltage and temperature are accurate?
What they are checking: Whether they understand sensor placement, calibration and measurement error.
How would you test a battery pack and charger system for safety and performance?
What they are checking: Whether they know lithium-ion testing hazards and the conditions that stress a pack.
