The ideal candidate is comfortable working in both software and hardware environments and enjoys solving complex electronic system issues at the component and system level.
Responsibilities
Test Development & Automation
- Develop and maintain automated test scripts using Python, C++, or LabVIEW.
- Interface with embedded systems and electronic instrumentation for functional validation.
- Create repeatable test procedures for prototype and production environments.
- Support hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and bench-level testing activities.
Hardware Troubleshooting
- Diagnose and resolve failures in PCBAs and electronic assemblies.
- Perform root-cause analysis using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and other diagnostic equipment.
- Debug digital, analog, and power electronic circuits.
PCB Rework & Prototyping
- Perform precision soldering and desoldering of SMT components, including fine-pitch ICs.
- Modify and repair prototype boards during development and validation phases.
- Assist engineering teams with prototype bring-up and verification.
Validation & Quality Engineering
- Develop test plans and validation procedures based on engineering specifications.
- Verify system reliability and functionality under real-world operating conditions.
- Document test results, failure analysis findings, and corrective actions.
- Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and manufacturing teams to improve product quality and test coverage.
Required Qualifications
