Staff Verification Engineer

Overview

Validate and deliver reliable hardware via test planning, verification, and automation.

Key Responsibilities

• pcb layout
• test automation
• rf design
• fixture development
• python scripting
• design verification

Tasks

-Develop block diagrams, controlled-impedance schematics, and multi-board PCB layouts; lead design reviews and incorporate feedback. -Provide mentorship to team members to follow best practices for test execution -Translate ambiguous test requests into clear, peer-reviewable specifications including schedules, risk registers, and success metrics. -Propose and implement automation and verification improvements from concept through deployment. -Conduct and review Gage R&R analyses, yield reports, and test issue resolutions. -Build mechanical and electrical test fixtures supporting repeatable, high-throughput testing. -Identify and escalate design risk factors, proposing alternatives with cross-functional considerations. -Root-cause factory issues by isolating failures at the system and component levels using design and manufacturing knowledge. -The next step will be to do a technical case study and present in a final virtual interview of 1 hour. We normally give candidates a week to complete the case study. -Design PCBs for prototypes, fixtures, and development tools. -Analyze experiment results and peer test reports to issue formal approval or rejection. -Conduct HALT/ALT testing to expose vulnerabilities and improve design robustness. -Collaborate with cross-functional teams (firmware, regulatory, manufacturing, design) to align test activities and results. -Contribute to the continuous improvement of design verification and automation processes across programs. -Develop Python-based scripts to interface with SCPI instruments, analyze datasets, and visualize results. -Recommend and drive improvements to test methods, reports, procedures, and fixtures. -Perform PFMEAs and define test coverage for high-volume production builds. -Perform environmental, ESD, surge, EFT, and compliance testing of products. -Design, simulate, and match antennas for Wi-Fi, BLE, and Sub-GHz bands; validate performance using VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and OTA chambers. -Execute cost-benefit and risk analyses to optimize test and verification decisions. -Perform engineering assessments of test and verification activities against real-world product applications. -Create production test plans, scripts, and fixtures for manufacturing validation. -Adapt fixture and RF designs mid-cycle in response to evolving product requirements without impacting delivery timelines. -Perform precision hand-soldering of micro-coax, 0201 passives, and BGA rework when needed. -Identify and validate alternate components to reduce BOM cost or mitigate supply chain risks. -Research and execute applicable UL, CSA, IEC, and other international standards. -Prepare and execute reliability test plans to support warranty and service life targets. -Coordinate pre-validation and regulatory test activities with firmware and compliance teams, including timing, margin analysis, and documentation. -Monitor schedules and escalate risks related to verification, compliance, and fixture delivery deadlines. -Create and execute engineering design verification (DV) test plans using circuit design knowledge and best practices for DUT bench testing. -Prototype and validate new circuits before inclusion in production designs. -Build and iterate custom verification fixtures to enhance repeatability, scope, and throughput. -Design and build test instrumentation systems to standardize and automate data capture across multiple DUTs. -Provide recommendations on design integrity and readiness for mass production. -Create thorough documentation and reports for all tests performed.
