Job Description
The Electronics Verification Engineer is responsible for validating and qualifying electronic hardware from prototype through production. On a day-to-day basis, this role involves hands-on board bring-up and bench testing using lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, etc.), executing validation plans against design requirements, troubleshooting circuit-level failures, performing PCB rework, and capturing/analyzing test data. The engineer writes and maintains test procedures, documents results in clear lab reports, tracks issues to resolution with cross-functional teams, and supports NPI milestones (EVT/DVT/PVT). This is a lab-heavy role that balances structured test execution with real-time debug and root-cause analysis to ensure hardware meets performance, reliability, and quality standards.

Candidate Requirements
Must-Have Skills

1. 2+ years experience in electronics test, validation, or hardware quality engineering (or equivalent) shipping products to consumers experience
2. Hands on rework skills (sodering-putting out and taking out components) - Proficient with lab instrumentation: oscilloscope, DMM, function generator, power supplies, electronic loads, LCR meter (plus protocol/debug tools as applicable
3. Best practices of testing and verification, data analysis

Nice-to-have Skills
1. Knowing how a board is designed, familiar with reliability tests, familiar with product development cycles
2. Use of LLM based tools to expedite processes.
3. Experience with NPI phases (EVT/DVT/PVT), fixture design, and design-for-test concepts.

Minimum Qualifications
2+ years experience in electronics test, validation, or hardware quality engineering (or equivalent).
Strong fundamentals in analog and digital circuits; able to read schematics, review PCB layout, and perform board bring-up.
Hands-on troubleshooting, failure analysis, and PCB rework; proficient soldering of fine-pitch components.
Proficient with lab instrumentation: oscilloscope, DMM, function generator, power supplies, electronic loads, LCR meter (plus protocol/debug tools as applicable).
Ability to create and execute validation plans (test matrix/DVP&R), define pass/fail criteria, and trace tests to requirements/specifications.
Experience designing and executing manual and/or automated tests; strong test data capture, organization, and analysis.
Clear written and verbal communication: lab reports, test summaries, issue tracking.

Preferred Qualifications
Experience with NPI phases (EVT/DVT/PVT), fixture design, and design-for-test concepts.
Python-based test automation, data analysis, and plotting.
PCB schematic/layout familiarity (Altium/Cadence/KiCad/Eagle).
Use of LLM based tools to expedite processes.
Reliability/environmental testing exposure (thermal, vibration/shock, humidity, ESD).
DOE/statistics experience and strong presentation of results.
