Hardware Test Engineer

Hardware Engineer

Must have technical/functional skills: 10 years minimum experience with hardware bring-up, design validation, manufacturing, and troubleshooting. Deep overall understanding of computer systems: electrical, functional, logical, software, mechanical, thermal etc. Experience applying hardware evaluation methodologies (lab measurements, data analysis, infrastructure setup and maintenance, etc). Strong program management skills; able to lead a multi-disciplinary group with minimal supervision, ensuring that each provides thorough test plans and executes in a timely fashion. Hands-on (HW assembly, test infrastructure setup, electrical/functional test execution, root cause analysis). Proficient in operating test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DC power supplies, etc. Natural problem-solver, self learner (I don't know but I will find out). Excellent communication and documentation skills (ex: first level analysis of test results and generate summaries, visualizations, conclusions, reports).

Bonus: Familiar with Linux OS. Ability to make minor modifications to test scripts. Automotive test experience. RF test experience.

Roles and responsibilities: Lead design verification (DV): Drive the creation, execution, and reporting of comprehensive test plans across multiple hardware domains (e.g., SI/PI, RF, antenna, thermal, reliability, and compliance). Manage failure analysis (FA): Serve as the primary engineering point of contact for all hardware failure analysis activities across the product lifecycle (DV, manufacturing, reliability, field, etc.). Drive manufacturing test strategy: Develop, plan, and oversee manufacturing hardware test strategies, including FP/ICT, BFT, and run-in. Oversee lab operations: Manage hardware lab environments, including hardware allocation, tracking, configuration, setup, and rework processes. Cross-functional testing support: Provide hands-on support for ongoing electrical, functional, RF, radar, reliability, thermal testing initiatives. Support manufacturing builds: Ensure successful manufacturing builds by managing materials readiness, providing training, and resolving production FA issues. Lead hardware sustaining efforts: Drive post-launch hardware quality improvements, manage field quality FA, coordinate end-of-life (EoL) responses, and lead PRQ initiatives. [Optional] Develop HW test tools: Create, optimize, and maintain hardware test scripts and automation tools.

Salary range: $100,000-$125,000 a year
