Hardware Engineer

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

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working with CMs or ODMs in a validation support capacity

Experience with wearable, mobile, or IoT hardware (space-constrained, low-power designs)

Familiarity with RF measurement (BLE/WiFi TX power, sensitivity, antenna return loss)

Familiarity with proto/EVT/DVT/PVT build cycles and NPI environments

Experience with issue tracking systems and cross-functional coordination in hardware programs
