Senior Manufacturing Test Engineer (PCBA)
Posted May 29, 2026
Austin is home to Optiver’s hardware research, development, and manufacturing group. We build some of the world’s most competitive trading hardware—high-speed, high-density systems that push the limits of performance, reliability, and manufacturability. We’re growing fast and looking for a Manufacturing Test Engineer focused on PCBA test development and deployment. You’ll own board-level test solutions from early prototypes through volume production—building fixtures, developing automation, driving debug, and partnering closely with contract manufacturers and our internal EE/ME/FPGA/firmware teams. We’re a small, highly technical team, and this role comes with real autonomy: you’ll have the runway to improve how we do test, raise the bar on factory readiness, and build scalable processes as our hardware footprint grows.
