Your day begins by powering up the bench: you route a fresh wiring harness you built the day before, bring an oscilloscope online, confirm the hi‑pot tester is ready, and load a test plan. An electrical engineering consultant drops in to review the setup you prepared, and together you finalize parameters before you run the first series. By mid‑morning, you’ve isolated an intermittent fault with a multimeter and methodical probing. After lunch, you fabricate a small fixture to stabilize a connector under load and collaborate with assembly to reroute cabling for cleaner signals. You wrap up by documenting results and staging equipment for tomorrow’s runs—on a schedule that allows flexibility around your working hours.
If you enjoy translating engineering intent into reliable test setups—and you like the autonomy to organize your day—this role will let you apply your craft to critical projects while maintaining flexibility in how you get great work done.
