Tarana is a fast revenue growth company built by outstanding talented people and with innovative technology. Our hardware development team is looking for a smart, experienced, and hardworking member working to test various Hardware systems in different configurations. The ideal candidate would have experience with board-level hardware validation, system testing, debugging, and qualification for wireless hardware (5G, WiFi, etc.) by using equipment such as spectrum analyzers and high-speed oscilloscopes. Experience with 1G Ethernet, 10G/25G+ Serdes, DDR4/DDR5 waveforms and protocols, wireless performance tests are desired. Minimum qualifications include a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and 5+ years of experience in hardware testing and automation.
What you'll be doing:- Define test strategy, detailed test plan/protocol for new Hardware designs or value-added engineering projects.
- Develop hardware validation and qualification test plans
- Perform board bring-up and functional verification
- Execute electrical, functional and reliability testing
- Signal characterization for high speed interfaces such as DDR4,PCIe Gen3/Gen4/Gen5, Ethernet (1G/10G/25G) like Eye diagram analysis, Jitter decomposition (RJ, DJ, TJ)
- Create a test plan/protocol based on requirements in order to test the specific hardware modules or PCBA
- Create test reports/presentations based on results from test execution.
- Execute and automate interface compliance testing for high-speed standards such as:
- PCI Express (PCIe)
- Ethernet (1G/10G/25G)
- DDR4
- Automate test execution using Python, LabVIEW or scripting tools on manufacturing test stations for wireless products
- Diagnose and troubleshoot failed units from the field (Conduct failure analysis, and perform Root cause analysis) and factory tests in a lab
- Come up with continuous optimizations and tests to improve coverage
- Work with design engineers to resolve hardware issues
- Actively provide inputs for HW design for testability and repeatability.
- Collaborate with hardware design, FPGA, and firmware teams to optimize board performance based on characterization results
- Finding alternate parts from different suppliers with exact form, fit and function (perform Like for Like analysis).
- Alternate Part qualification and testing (functional and performance).
- Support EMC/EMI pre-compliance and compliance testing
What You'll Need:- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent field with 5-10 years of relevant experience
- Hardware test equipment usage (e.g. spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes)
- Statistical analysis abilities is a plus
- Ability to code and use scripts in a Linux environment is a plus
- Knowledge of wireless networks and products
- Ability to create ECOs, Deviations in Arena BOM management environment
- Knowledge of industry compliance specifications and test methodologies for high-speed digital interfaces.
- Experience with statistical data analysis, automated report generation and dashboard development.
- Familiarity with laboratory automation, regression testing and hardware validation best practices.
What we offer: We don't just build next-gen wireless technology - we build people. The salary range for this position is: $130,000 to $165,000
Compensation will be determined based on several factors including, but not limited to: skill set, years of experience and the employee's geographic location.
Tarana provides competitive benefits to employees in this role including: Medical, dental and vision benefits, 401K match, flexible time off and stock option.
