## Description

The Hardware Test Engineer will be responsible for verifying, validating, and troubleshooting medical device hardware components and systems. Working closely with cross-functional R&D and manufacturing teams, this role focuses on creating and executing test plans that ensure device reliability, performance, and strict regulatory compliance. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience in a laboratory environment, utilizing standard test instrumentation to diagnose board-level and system-level issues, alongside using scripting languages to automate verification testing., * Design, set up, and execute comprehensive hardware verification and validation (V&V) protocols for medical device electronics and PCBAs.

 * Diagnose, troubleshoot, and perform root-cause analysis on hardware failures down to the component level.
 * Utilize standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and data acquisition systems) to validate hardware performance against design specifications.
 * Develop and maintain automated test scripts (e.g., Python) to control lab equipment, streamline data collection, and ensure repeatable test execution.
 * Collaborate with design engineers to review schematics, understand system architecture, and define test coverage.
 * Document strict, compliant test plans, generate detailed verification reports, and maintain traceability matrices in alignment with quality management standards.
