3. Prototyping, Testing & Validation
  • Support the development of functional prototypes, samples, and demonstration units to validate design intent.
  • Perform engineering verification and validation testing in the lab under supervision.
  • Gain familiarity with ANSI, IEC and applicable industry standards and their application to product design and testing.
  • Assist with verification and functional testing of new PCB designs, documenting results and observations.
4. Continuous Improvement & Product Optimization
  • Participate in product usability, reliability, and value improvement initiatives through the Value Improvement (VIP) system.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering processes, drafting standards, PCB design practices, and documentation workflows.
  • Support continuous improvement efforts focused on manufacturability, quality, and lifecycle performance.

Minimum Qualifications:
