TL;DR · Sustaining and Validation Hardware Engineer

The Sustaining and Validation Hardware Engineer joins the team to support the design, development, and integration of electrical systems for hardware products. This role involves performing parts selection, qualification, FPGA design, and schematic capture while ensuring compliance with performance, power efficiency, and reliability requirements. The engineer will manage board floor planning, high-speed signal routing, and EMI mitigation while troubleshooting power and signal integrity issues. Key responsibilities include testing, validating, and debugging analog and digital systems through test setup, execution, and data analysis. The position requires expertise in Bash scripting, Shell scripting, and test script automation to maintain validation platforms. Additionally, the role involves creating technical documentation like bills of materials and test reports while addressing sustaining engineering tasks such as root cause analysis for customer escalations and resolving end-of-life component issues within the server product domain.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and integrate electrical systems for hardware products following established engineering guidelines.
  • Perform parts selection, qualification, FPGA design, and schematic capture for electrical subsystems.
  • Develop board floor planning and layout designs focusing on component placement and high-speed signal routing.
  • Execute test setups, data analysis, and debugging for analog and digital systems.
  • Create and maintain technical documentation including schematics, test plans, and bills of materials.
  • Maintain automation platforms for electrical subsystem validation using test automation scripting.
  • Perform sustaining engineering tasks such as root cause analysis and qualifying alternate components.
  • Ensure hardware products meet safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and environmental regulations.

What we're looking for

  • Candidates must have 3 to 5+ years of relevant experience.
  • Applicants must be able to read, write, and speak English.
  • Candidates must possess solid electrical and electronics engineering knowledge.
  • Experience in electrical system testing, validation, and debugging is required.
  • Proficiency in Bash scripting, Shell scripting, and writing test scripts is required.
  • Skills in test automation and hardware validation workflows are required.
  • Strong problem-solving, technical communication, and leadership skills are required.
  • Ability to perform schematic capture, parts selection, and FPGA design for electrical subsystems.
