Hardware System Validation Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Hardware System Validation Engineer
• Focus: Validate system-level performance of SoCs and hardware modules in an environment that mirrors real product use

Description

Join the system validation team to validate EE circuits/components and hardware systems as a whole for future products. You will lead prototype bring-up, debugging, functional verification, and electrical characterization, using advanced lab equipment to assess signal quality and design robustness. You will also review and execute factory test plans, mine factory-scale data (including AI/ML for anomaly detection and analytics), and drive root-cause fixes into design and process.

Responsibilities

• Lead prototype bring-up, debugging, functional verification, and electrical characterization
• Perform electrical design validation using oscilloscopes, network analyzers, BERT, and VNAs
• Review and execute factory test plans to ensure comprehensive hardware validation
• Mine factory-scale data to assess hardware quality, optimize design parameters, and improve robustness
• Debug manufacturing issues and lead root-cause analysis with corrective actions into design and process
• Optimize test and calibration flows for hardware sub-systems
• Apply AI/ML techniques for test data mining, anomaly detection, and factory data analytics
• Communicate status on concurrent priorities, open issues, and deadlines
• Travel internationally ~5 weeks/year (~10%)

Requirements

• BS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
• 3+ years of relevant industry experience focused on EE or CS
• EE fundamentals in DC/DC conversion, power and signal integrity, and analog/digital design
• Scripting proficiency for building and maintaining automation and/or scripting
• Hands-on lab experience with oscilloscopes, multimeters, and similar tools for bring-up, debugging, and validation

Benefits

• Work across EE and CS with multidisciplinary teams
• Hands-on validation with advanced lab equipment and factory-scale data analytics, including AI/ML
