ICONMA

Hardware Validation Engineer

Our client, an EV manufacturing company, is looking for a Hardware Validation Engineer for their Palo Alto, CA location. Responsibilities include:

  • High-Fidelity Testing: Plan and execute durability, electrical, and functional validation for component-level ECUs.
  • Silicon Characterization: Validate silicon-level performance (SoCs, microcontrollers) within the ECU environment, focusing on power integrity, thermal boundaries, and signal analysis.
  • Failure Analysis: Lead deep-dive root cause investigations for test failures, utilizing data reproduction and fault simulation to solve complex hardware/firmware bugs.
  • Data Analytics: Provide advanced data analytics from conducted tests to drive design improvements and ensure compliance with Component Technical Specifications (CTS).
  • Operational Excellence Standardization: Maintain and enhance technical templates, "ADV Toolboxes," and Drawing Templates to ensure a unified validation approach across the engineering org.
  • Traceability: Establish and manage end-to-end traceability between requirements and test results using JAMA, JIRA, and version control systems.
  • Continuous Improvement: Manage "Lessons Learned" repositories to refine the Bill of Materials (BoM) and improve product performance and safety based on real-world test data.

Requirements include:

  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related technical field.
  • Experience: 6+ years of experience in automotive or consumer electronics, with a strong focus on the design and development of electronics.
  • Domain Expertise: Strong background in silicon-level validation and ECU component testing; proficient in automotive communication protocols: CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, and Flexray.
  • Working knowledge of ISO/IEC 17025 requirements for testing labs.
  • Lab Skills: Hands-on experience with bench-level testing [oscilloscopes, power supply, digital multimeter] & thermal chambers.
  • Software & Tooling: Proficiency in JIRA and JAMA for requirement management.
  • LabView, Test Stand, and CAPL programming skills (highly preferred).
  • Ability to interpret complex electrical schematics and mechanical drawings.
  • Soft Skills: A collaborative communicator capable of working cross-functionally in a fast-paced "Engineering Ops" service model.

Why should you apply? Health benefits, referral program, excellent growth and advancement opportunities.
