Hardware Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Hardware Engineer to support the design, development, testing, validation, and debugging of analog and digital electronic hardware. The engineer will work closely with electrical engineers, software/firmware engineers, technicians, and PCB layout resources to develop and validate circuit designs., * Design, develop, test, and debug analog and digital electronic circuits and systems to the component level.

• Assist with board bring-up, bench testing, troubleshooting, and validation of PCBs.
• Design and build electronic circuits based on reference designs and guidance from the lead electrical engineer.
• Perform circuit analysis and component selection as required.
• Create and maintain schematics using schematic capture tools; Cadence experience is preferred.
• Work closely with PCB layout engineers by providing layout direction and reviewing completed PCB layouts.
• Review engineering documentation and create Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) for design releases.
• Develop detailed board validation plans, test plans, specifications, and test reports.
• Personally execute board validation and electrical testing.
• Develop efficient methods for testing individual circuit sections, including designing custom test fixtures/jigs when needed.
• Assist software engineers and laboratory technicians with hardware-related testing and troubleshooting.
• Support bring-up and debugging of other PCBs within the program.
• Analyze component datasheets and translate hardware requirements into actionable information for software/firmware engineers.
• Work with interfaces and devices such as I2C and SPI I/O expanders and multiplexers.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams throughout the development and validation process.
• Convert minimal verbal requirements into clear technical documentation and execute the resulting test plans.
