Frequently Asked Questions
What does a test engineer do in manufacturing?
Test engineers design and build the automated systems — ATE, functional test stands, and end-of-line fixtures — that verify a product works before it ships. They write the test program, design the fixture, integrate instrumentation, and validate that the test correctly separates good units from defective ones.
What is ATE (automated test equipment)?
ATE is a hardware-and-software system that automatically tests a product against measurable pass/fail limits. It combines instruments (power supplies, DMMs, oscilloscopes, DAQ), a fixture that mates to the product, and a test program — often written in LabVIEW or TestStand — that runs the sequence and logs the result for traceability and yield analysis.
How much do test engineer contractors charge?
Rates for test engineering contractors vary with experience, specialization and the scope of the work. On Automate America every contract shows its rate before anyone applies, and professionals apply at that rate; each professional's rate is on their profile, so you can compare before you request or hire.
What certifications do test engineers need?
The most recognized credentials are NI’s Certified LabVIEW Developer (CLD) and Certified LabVIEW Architect (CLA), plus Certified TestStand Developer. For reliability and HALT/HASS roles, ASQ CRE (Certified Reliability Engineer) is valued; electronics roles often add IPC certifications.
What programming languages do test engineers use?
The dominant test-automation environments are NI LabVIEW and TestStand, with Python and C#/.NET increasingly common for sequencing and data handling. Test engineers also use SCPI/VISA over GPIB, USB, or Ethernet to control instruments, and SQL to log results for yield and traceability.
