System & HW Validation Engineer

Responsibilities

• choose the method, the instruments, and the measurement approach that verify the requirement at hand.
• mechanical layout, fixtures, wiring, instrument selection, and validation of the new setup.
• Keep the lab running with your own hands: solder and rework boards, build cables and harnesses, and debug bench electronics.
• Take complex test processes apart, understand every test step and the physics behind, and intervene to optimize the process — cycle time, measurement quality, repeatability, yield.

Design and redesign test benches

Debug hardware/firmware interactions using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers Perform signal and power integrity measurements; identify noise and crosstalk sources Establish and maintain the lab’s communication infrastructures: instruments, benches, and computers connected and exchanging data reliably.

Judge measurement health in real time

spot drift, bad fixtures, or suspect data before it contaminates a dataset. Support new bench bring-up, pilot runs, and acceptance of new setups.

Required Qualifications

BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering ~5+ years of hands-on lab experience with precision hardware for device bring-up, system validation, or failure analysis A solid general physics foundation — optics, electronics, mechanics, thermal Working programming skills: able to understand and debug scripts in Python, C/C++, Bash, or MATLAB. Handling large datasets through code is a must. Laser safety, ESD, and cleanroom discipline as second nature. Schematic, layout, and datasheet fluency Preferred Qualifications Working with mechatronics systems and testing. Basic CAD for fixtures and bench mechanics — CATIA, Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, or similar. Experience with automated test stations (automated test equipment) in a production or validation environment. Benefits (subject to location and local regulations) Competitive salary and equity Flexible vacation and time-off policy Collaborative, fast-paced, and inclusive work environment Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies with a highly cross-functional team
