Hardware Validation Engineer

Hardware Engineer
We are a high‑growth startup focused on the intersection of quantum software and hardware systems for quantum computing. We are looking to expand our hardware team and need a hardware engineer to play a pivotal role in the development of our next‑generation system.

Our R&D team tackles complex challenges; you will test, characterize, validate, and debug high‑performance electronic hardware, working at the intersection of high‑speed digital, RF, and ultra‑low‑noise measurement systems. This role requires deep expertise in circuit analysis, experience with automated test frameworks, and mastery of lab equipment.

Key Responsibilities

Create test plans based on hardware specifications for characterization and validation measurements.

Initial board bring‑up of new PCBAs.

Debug hardware prototypes, identifying and resolving signal‑integrity, noise, and performance issues.

Perform characterization and validation measurements of high‑speed digital, RF, and low‑noise analog PCBAs to ensure all requirements are met.

Collaborate with design, firmware, and software engineers to debug issues, analyze data, and ensure design meets requirements.

Generate and maintain detailed technical documentation and validation reports.

Act as a mentor and guide supporting junior engineers.

Job Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

Strong background in RF circuit design, simulation and measurements.

Expertise with lab equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers).

Proficiency in Python for testing and data analysis.

Ability to debug complex hardware systems at board and system level.

Deep understanding of signal integrity and power integrity principles.

Experience with Altium Designer.

Familiarity with Agile methodology and Jira issue tracking systems.

Strong problem‑solving and analytical skills, with attention to detail.

Highly motivated, proactive, and a collaborative team player.
