EE Validation Lead Job Description

• Hardware Validation engineers are responsible for delivering results from one or multiple areas of device testing including wireless functional and performance testing, new feature and regression testing.

Responsibilities:

• Define electrical validation methodologies for PCB and different subsystems by working with system integration EE team and technology teams.
• Define and track detailed test plans for the different modules and top level systems. Validation coverage includes SoC, low speed signal interface (I2C, I2S, PDM...etc), I/O signals, high speed differential interface, electrical performance of subsystems such as optical sensors, microphones, cameras, battery, charger, and RF.
• Drive and execute validation to meet key deadlines and priority goals.
• Own execution, interpretation, and reporting of electrical validation work status and results.
• Clearly document test results. Keep track of bugs encountered and fixed
• Design, expand EE test automation and processes.
• Support system bring up and debug activities
• Clearly communicate test plans and results 

Minimum qualifications:

• Experience with definition of validation test plans and writing detailed electrical validation SOPs.
• Experience owning significant areas of electrical validation
• Experience executing electrical validation on the bench. Familiarity with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMM, e-load, power supply, power analyzer, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, and temp chamber.
• Understanding of board schematics and board layout. Ability to find proper probe locations and identify potential points of failure in the DUT.
• Working knowledge of Python, and LabVIEW for data processing and automation.
• A team player with strong communication skills. A self-motivated person who thrives in a cross-functional and fast-paced environment.

Preferred qualifications:

• Board and system level validation and debugging experience.
• FW verification experience.
• System and Subsystem power verification.
• Python, and LabVIEW development experience
• Experience with VNA and ENA, logic analyzer, signal analyzer, battery simulator, data acquisition device
