Electrical Validation Engineer; Power & Signal Integrity

Job Title: Electrical Validation Engineer (PI/SI)

Location: Sunnyvale, CA (Onsite)

Duration: 12-Month Contract

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Validation Engineer to support the development and validation of consumer hardware products. This role focuses on hardware validation execution,
failure analysis, issue tracking
, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure high-quality product performance.

The ideal candidate will possess strong expertise in Power Integrity (PI) and Signal Integrity (SI) validation
, hands‑on debugging skills, and the ability to analyze complex technical data while driving issues to resolution. You will work closely with electrical engineers, manufacturing partners, firmware teams, and program stakeholders throughout product development and validation cycles.

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering
• 4+ years of EE hardware validation experience with strong emphasis on power integrity and signal integrity
• Proven ability to analyze test data, identify root causes, and drive issues to closure with cross‑functional teams
• Experience reviewing test reports for correctness, identifying gaps, and driving follow‑up actions
• Ability to develop test procedures that others execute, clear technical writing, structured SOPs, annotated diagrams
• Strong schematic reading skills trace signal paths, understand power distribution, map circuit function from schematics and datasheets
• PCB layout review experience assess probe access, SI/PI risk, debug strategy
• Expert‑level knowledge of lab instruments
  : high‑bandwidth oscilloscopes, power rail probes, active/differential probes, current probes, spectrum analyzers
• Experience with DC‑DC converter characterization and high‑speed digital signal measurements
• Solid understanding of transmission line theory, impedance matching, and flex PCB signal integrity challenges
• Strong communication skills: ability to explain complex EE issues clearly to CM teams and design partners
