Passionate about power electronics, testing and cutting-edge technology?
At Eltek in Drammen our R&D environment works on advanced solutions within power electronics, including power converters and controllers.

We are now looking for a new colleague joining us to develop and realize smart, robust testing solutions during the early stages of industrialization. This is a role at the intersection of hardware, software and manufacturing, where your electronics expertise and programming skills contribute directly to a successful transition from R&D to production.

About the role
As our new Manufacturing Test Engineer, you will be part of the R&D Manufacturing Test Engineering team in Drammen, working closely with product development and support industrialization of our products.

You will be involved in New Product Introduction (NPI) projects, particularly during the EVT/DVT phases, developing test solutions that are reliable, efficient and suitable for use in manufacturing.

The position offers a varied combination of electronics, test software development, measurement technology and practical troubleshooting, with close collaboration across R&D and manufacturing.

Your main responsibilities
• Develop and realize test concepts, test flows and equipment configurations based on product, customer and manufacturing requirements, following established technical guidelines.
• Collaborate with design teams to translate test requirements into practical testing solutions, ensure adequate test coverage and provide guidance on Design for Testability (DfT).
• Define test fixtures, adapter boards and interfaces for safe and reliable connections between test equipment and products.
• Develop, debug and optimize test code to execute automated test sequences, and create drivers for new hardware.
• Analyse test results, troubleshoot failures and optimize test performance and equipment reliability.
• Documentation: create test specifications in cooperation with product designers.
• Create and maintain technical documentation such as schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, instrument definitions and maintenance guidelines.
• Transfer documentation and support factory in design of test equipment for high volume production.
• Provide hands-on factory support, troubleshooting test equipment fixtures and software issues, to maintain production uptime.
• Occasional planned business travel will be required.

What we are looking for
• An engineer with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical or electronics engineering.
• Experience within Power electronics, power converters or related technologies, and a solid understanding of electronic circuits, electrical systems (including AC), measurement techniques and test equipment.
• Programming skills, relevant to automated testing and hardware related applications.
• An analytical mindset, strong technical understanding and a hands-on approach to problem-solving.
• A Proactive, structured and self-driven engineer, taking ownership of tasks and continuously seeking improvements.
• You are highly collaborative, adaptable and resilient, and able to handle changing priorities.
• Cultural awareness and a team-oriented approach, with experience or interest in working with global teams.
• Good written and verbal communication skills in both Norwegian and English.

We particularly value experience or knowledge within:
• Automated test systems and test software development using NI LabVIEW, Python, C# or NI TestStand.
• Instrument control and communication interfaces such as CAN, VISA, GPIB and LAN.
• Electronics manufacturing and production test processes.
• PCB design, test fixtures and Design for Testability (DfT).
• Test data analysis and tools such as WATS.

Why join Eltek?
You will be part of a team developing cutting-edge technology in power electronics, contributing to complex systems where software and hardware truly meet.

This is an opportunity to work on meaningful engineering challenges in a highly collaborative environment.

Eltek Norway is in a newly renovated facility in Kobbervikdalen in Drammen.

We have placed strong emphasis on creating a pleasant and functional working environment, including on-site fitness facilities, canteen, dedicated areas for social activities, and a sunny rooftop terrace.
