## Description

We are seeking an experienced Hardware Test Engineer with a strong background in automotive hardware engineering, hardware design, and prototype testing. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience testing automotive electronic components, validating power management and protection features, and performing laboratory measurements and debugging. Key Responsibilities
Test automotive hardware prototypes, including Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs), smart fuses, load switches, voltage/current/temperature sensing circuits, microcontrollers, memory, and automotive Ethernet interfaces.
Verify and analyze overcurrent protection (OCP), undervoltage protection (UVP), overvoltage protection (OVP), current limiting, inrush current, short-circuit protection, and thermal protection features.
Perform fault analysis, power sequencing and timing verification, and load profile testing.
Conduct laboratory testing and measurements using power supplies, oscilloscopes, digital multimeters (DMMs), electronic loads, and other test equipment.
Perform hardware debugging, flashing, troubleshooting, and validation using tools such as Lauterbach.
Analyze test results, document findings, troubleshoot hardware issues, and support root-cause analysis.
Collaborate with hardware design, embedded systems, validation, and automotive engineering teams to ensure product functionality and reliability. Required Qualifications
