Location:

Phoenix, AZ (Onsite)

Position Summary

We are seeking a Hardware Verification & Validation (HW V&V) Engineer to support board-level hardware validation and automated test development in a lab environment. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with hardware interfaces, Python scripting, hardware debugging, and test automation. This role requires an individual who can work independently, collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams, and drive test development from design through execution while ensuring high-quality documentation and traceability.

Hardware Validation & Test Development

• Develop, maintain, and debug Python-based hardware validation scripts for board-level and interface-level testing.
• Design and execute hardware verification and validation test procedures.
• Translate hardware requirements into automated test cases with clear pass/fail criteria.
• Support hardware bring-up activities and validation of embedded systems.

Hardware Interfaces & Lab Testing

• Perform validation using hardware interfaces such as:
• UART / RS-422 / RS-485
• SPI
• I2C
• GPIO
• Ethernet
• CAN (as applicable)
• Utilize laboratory equipment including:
• Oscilloscopes
• Logic analyzers
• Digital multimeters (DMM)
• Power supplies
• Signal generators

Debugging & Troubleshooting

• Investigate and resolve failures related to hardware, firmware, and Python test scripts.
• Isolate issues between hardware defects, software defects, and test environment problems.
• Perform root cause analysis and recommend corrective actions.

Software Development & Automation

• Develop clean, modular, and maintainable Python code.
• Implement robust logging, timeout handling, retries, and error recovery.
• Use Git for version control and participate in code reviews.
• Support automated test execution and continuous integration (CI) workflows.

Documentation & Traceability

• Maintain requirement-to-test traceability.
• Generate validation reports, logs, test evidence, and execution summaries.
• Document test environments, setup procedures, troubleshooting guides, and known issues.
• Share best practices and technical knowledge across engineering teams.

Collaboration & Ownership

• Own validation activities from test design through execution and closure.
• Coordinate with multiple product teams to resolve technical issues.
• Provide regular project status updates.
• Continuously improve test coverage, automation reliability, and execution efficiency.

• Python scripting for hardware verification and validation
• Hardware interface experience (UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO, Ethernet, CAN, RS-422/RS-485)
• Hardware debugging and troubleshooting
• Verification & Validation (V&V) test development and execution
• Experience using laboratory test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, power supplies)

• Experience developing and executing hardware verification and validation test procedures.
• Strong Python programming skills for hardware automation.
• Hands-on experience with board-level hardware testing and debugging.
• Proficiency with common communication interfaces and embedded hardware protocols.
• Experience using electronic laboratory equipment for hardware validation.
• Familiarity with Git and software development best practices.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.
• Excellent communication and documentation abilities.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams.
