You will drive electrical validation for PCBs and subsystems through the design and execution of detailed test plans.
Responsibilities
- Define electrical validation methodologies for PCBs and subsystems in collaboration with system integration and technology teams.
- Design validation test plans, including specific test procedures and targets for modules, subsystems, and FATP.
- Execute validation across low-speed interfaces (I2C, I2S, SPI, PDM), high-speed differential interfaces (MIPI DS, CSI, CPHY, USB, PCIe), and subsystem performance (optical sensors, microphones, cameras, display, battery, charger, RF).
- Own the hardware bring-up, bench testing, debugging, and reporting of electrical validation results.
- Track coverage metrics and manage the lifecycle of bugs encountered during testing.
Required Skills
- 5+ years of experience in electrical system verification for consumer electronics.
- Proven experience defining validation test plans and owning significant areas of electrical validation.
- Hands-on experience executing electrical validation on the bench and performing hardware debug.
- Proficiency with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, DMM, e-load, power supply, power analyzer, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, and temp chamber.
- Strong understanding of board schematics and board layout.
- Ability to identify probe locations and potential points of failure in the device under test.
- Knowledge of Python and LabView for data processing and automation.
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
Preferred Skills
- Experience with wearable or small form factor consumer electronics.
- FW verification experience, including flashing software images and verifying boot up.
- Knowledge of power electronics and high-speed signal interface validation.
- Proficiency in C#, shell scripting, C, and data processing.
- Experience with VNA, ENA, logic analyzers, signal analyzers, battery simulators, and DAQ.
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science.
