• Support electrical hardware validation, testing, debugging, and integration of analog and digital systems and subsystems.
• Execute electrical validation and characterization tests to evaluate hardware performance, signal quality, and reliability.
• Perform electrical signal-quality measurements, including jitter, noise, timing, and waveform analysis, using high-speed oscilloscopes, differential probes, logic analyzers, and network analyzers.
• Assist in identifying, isolating, and troubleshooting board-level electrical issues, including signal integrity, power integrity, and high-speed signaling problems.
• Support structured root-cause investigations through electrical measurements, test data analysis, and hardware debugging techniques.
• Develop, configure, and maintain hardware test setups and validation environments for prototype testing, system integration, and reliability testing.
• Support test automation activities, including developing and maintaining Python scripts, automated test procedures, and data collection workflows.
• Analyze validation results, document findings, and collaborate with engineering teams to investigate anomalies and verify corrective actions.
• Review electrical schematics, board layouts, and hardware specifications to support troubleshooting, validation, and subsystem integration.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, software, and diagnostics teams to resolve electrical performance and system integration issues.
• Assist with sustaining engineering activities, including hardware failure analysis, customer escalations, component qualification, and end-of-life component management.
• Participate in design and validation reviews, providing feedback on electrical performance, test coverage, and potential hardware improvements.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including test plans, validation reports, troubleshooting procedures, and electrical measurement results.
• Support electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), compliance, and pre-compliance testing activities as needed.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of electrical validation processes, test methodologies, and hardware troubleshooting workflows.
