DescriptionMission:
You will be responsible for setting up, maintaining, and operating lab equipment used for testing and validating high-performance hardware systems. You will collaborate with design engineers, validation teams, and manufacturing to ensure our products meet the highest quality and reliability standards before release.
Responsibilities & opportunities in this role:
Hardware Testing & Validation
Execute test plans for electronic components, PCB’s and system-level-assemblies.
Perform functional, performance and environmental testing using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies and other instrumentation.
Collect and analyze test data to identify root causes of failures or performance deviations.
Technical Support
Support HW design, bring-up and validation activities by preparing workstations, test setups and prototypes.
Assist engineers with hardware builds, soldering, rework, and board-level troubleshooting as needed.
Implement and improve processes for hardware prototype tracking and test documentation.
Lab Operations & Maintenance
Maintain and calibrate test equipment, ensuring the lab remains organized and compliant with safety standards.
Manage hardware inventory, including prototypes, test boards, and lab assets.
Support setup and teardown of test benches, racks, and measurement systems.
Generate detailed test reports and communicate results to cross-functional teams.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with hardware design, validation, and manufacturing engineers to improve test coverage and debug hardware issues.
Provide feedback to design teams to enhance product reliability and manufacturability.
Ideal candidates have/are:
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
5+ years of experience in a hardware test, validation, or engineering lab management role.
Strong hands-on experience with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, multimeters, etc.).
Solid understanding of electronics fundamentals (digital, analog, and power systems).
Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
Preferred:
Familiarity with hardware validation workflows for ASICs, FPGAs, or embedded systems.
Experience working in a production or prototype hardware lab environment.
Knowledge of thermal, mechanical, or environmental testing.
Familiarity with safety and ESD standards in lab environments.
Experience with high-speed digital interfaces (PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, etc.).
Familiarity with data acquisition systems or measurement automation frameworks.
Strong organizational and documentation skills.
Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
Attention to detail and a proactive attitude toward troubleshooting and process improvement.
Ability to work independently and manage multiple test activities concurrently.
