Staff Verification Engineer

Description

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

Requirements

• Proficiency in PCB design tools, SolidWorks, and Python-based data analysis.
• Excellent communication and project management skills.
• Strong understanding of RF principles and hands-on experience with lab instrumentation.
• 7+ years of experience in hardware development, test automation, and regulatory compliance.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
