TL;DR · Board Validation Engineer

As a Board Validation Engineer, you will join the engineering team to validate next-generation products against rigorous technical requirements while ensuring maximum reliability and performance. You will design, develop, and implement end-to-end validation procedures, perform deep signal analysis, and execute standardized compliance tests for storage controllers, network cards, switch devices, and AI accelerators. Your daily work involves managing hardware verification strategies, analyzing performance data to mitigate risks, and authoring comprehensive test reports. You will utilize laboratory tools like oscilloscopes, digital multi-meters, thermal chambers, and soldering tools while interpreting complex board schematics via PCB Viewer. Technical requirements include proficiency in DDR4, PCIe, UART, I2C, and SPI protocols. You will also use Python for scripting, GitHub for version control, and AI developer tools like Claude Code to automate workflows across Windows and Linux environments.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and implement end-to-end hardware validation procedures for next-generation products.
  • Perform deep signal analysis and execute standardized compliance tests for power, thermal, and timing.
  • Validate high-speed digital designs and host/target interfaces across diverse product portfolios.
  • Analyze performance data to identify product risks and communicate findings to cross-functional teams.
  • Author comprehensive test reports documenting results, deviations, and detailed failure analyses.
  • Architect and implement automation frameworks to streamline test execution and data collection.
  • Utilize Python for test scripting and GitHub for version control in the validation process.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in hardware testing or board-level design.
  • Proficiency with laboratory tools including oscilloscopes, digital multi-meters, thermal chambers, and soldering tools.
  • Proven ability to read complex board schematics and use PCB Viewer software tools.
  • Deep familiarity with common bus protocols such as DDR4, PCIe, UART, I2C, and SPI.
  • Competency working across both Windows and Linux operating systems.
  • Experience utilizing Python for test scripting and GitHub for version control.
  • Experience using modern AI developer tools like Claude Code to accelerate workflow automation.
