Job Requirements

The achievers and courageous challenge-crushers we seek, have the following characteristics and skills:

What You Will Do:

The Hardware Validation & Integration Engineer is responsible for ensuring the reliability, performance, and qualification of complex digital hardware systems. This role spans signal integrity testing and analysis, hardware bring-up, environmental validation, cross-functional debugging, and sustaining engineering support. The engineer will collaborate closely with firmware, FPGA, manufacturing, and system integration teams to drive high-quality hardware releases from prototype through production.

Job Description:
• Design and develop Python-based test automation frameworks for FPGA qualification, regression testing, and data collection, improving test coverage, repeatability, and execution efficiency.
• Drive reliability growth initiatives by analyzing field and lab failures, identifying failure trends, implementing corrective actions, and validating improvements through structured testing and qualification efforts.
• Analyze test results and reliability data, identify failure modes, conduct root-cause analysis, and recommend design, manufacturing, or process improvements to enhance product reliability.
• Manage the build, maintenance, configuration, and continuous improvement of engineering targets with hardware platforms used for product development and verification activities.
• Provide target-level and bay-level technical support, troubleshooting the hardware, firmware and FPGA issues to ensure maximum availability and efficiency of validation environments.
• Establish and maintain a transparent target/bay scheduling process, proactively collecting team requirements on a weekly basis, prioritizing resource allocation, and coordinating usage across engineering teams to maximize utilization and minimize conflicts.
• Perform bay-level and target-level interoperability, performance, stress, and reliability testing to validate system functionality across multiple hardware and software configurations.
• Debug hardware failures, perform component-level and system-level root-cause analysis, and collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to drive issue resolution and corrective action closure.
• Support firmware and FPGA development teams with hardware setup, board bring-up, programming workflows, validation of new firmware drops, and debugging hardware-dependent firmware issues.
• Drive Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) through internal release systems (e.g., MyWorkshop), ensuring alignment with stakeholders and timely implementation of approved changes.

What You Will Bring:
• Test Automation (using Python) for FPGA Qualifications
• Reliability Growth & Failure Analysis
• Hardware Validation and Qualification
• Target/Bay Infrastructure Management
• Cross-Functional Technical Support
• Resource Planning and Schedule Management
• Hardware/Firmware/FPGA Integration and Debug
