Dataforth Corporation is a global leader in high-performance signal conditioning, data acquisition, and data communication products for demanding industrial markets. We are looking for a talented and motivated engineer to join our team in Tucson, AZ. This unique, dual-focus role is critical to our success, blending hands-on test development with direct customer and product support. You will not only ensure our products meet the highest standards of quality but also become a key technical resource for the products you help bring to life.
Our collaborative environment and on-site manufacturing facility mean you see the immediate impact of your work, from initial design to production and customer implementation.
How You'll Make an Impact

This includes everything from PCB-level fixture design to complete system integration with custom enclosures and safety interlocks.
- Create Intelligent Test Software: Write and maintain sophisticated test software using LabVIEW, Python, or C#/C++. Your code will manage instrument control, implement complex test sequences, communicate with devices via SPI, I2C, and UART, and handle comprehensive data logging to our databases.
- Drive Innovation: Be the test engineering lead for next-generation products, ensuring our testing capabilities evolve with our cutting-edge analog and data acquisition technology.
- Enhance Existing Systems: Continuously improve and maintain current test hardware and software across all manufacturing lines to maximize uptime, precision, and efficiency.
2. Product and Customer Application Support:
- Become the Product Expert: Develop a deep technical understanding of Dataforth's entire product line, from our SCM5B signal conditioning modules to the MAQ20 data acquisition system.
- Provide Tier-3 Technical Support: Serve as the go-to engineering expert for complex customer issues escalated by our support team. Troubleshoot applications, analyze data, and help customers successfully integrate our products into critical industrial and SCADA systems.
- Collaborate for Quality: Work closely with design engineering to identify the root cause of product issues found in production or by customers and contribute to permanent solutions.
- Own Your Projects: Independently manage the technical execution, scheduling, and cost considerations for your test development and support projects based on defined requirements.
What You'll Bring to the Table
Required:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or a closely related field.
- 4+ years of direct experience in designing, developing, and implementing test solutions for analog and mixed-signal products.
- Strong foundational knowledge of analog and digital circuit design, especially as it applies to test fixtures and device interfaces.
- Proficiency in a relevant programming language for test automation (e.g., LabVIEW, Python, C#, C++).
- Hands-on experience using and controlling test equipment like DMMs, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and function generators.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a detail-oriented mindset.
- Strong communication and documentation skills.
Preferred:
- Experience in a customer-facing technical support or applications engineering role is a significant plus.
- Familiarity with various communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, USB, Ethernet).
- Experience with database interaction for test data storage and analysis.
- Hands-on mechanical aptitude or CAD experience for designing enclosures and fixtures.
Why You'll Love Working at Dataforth
