Electrical Engineer – Board-Level Validation & Test

Job Summary

We are seeking a hands-on Electrical Engineer to support the validation, troubleshooting, and incremental improvement of digital circuit boards used in robotic systems . The primary focus of this role is executing established Design Verification Testing (DVT) , troubleshooting board-level issues in the lab, and supporting a limited number of PCB revisions.

This position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys practical, hands-on lab work, learns quickly, takes initiative, and is comfortable working closely with senior engineers and cross-functional teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute established DVT test plans for digital circuit boards, including test setup, data collection, documentation, and identification of performance deviations.
• Troubleshoot board-level hardware using oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, bench power supplies , and other standard electrical test equipment.
• Reproduce hardware failures, inspect signals and power rails, document findings, and assist with root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Support PCB re-spins by implementing and reviewing minor schematic changes.
• Update and review electrical schematics and coordinate PCB layout changes using Cadence Allegro .
• Support testing and debugging of digital interfaces such as USB, JTAG, MIPI, I2C, and SPI .
• Maintain accurate engineering documentation, including test reports, lab notes, schematic revisions, issue tracking, and engineering change documentation.
• Participate in Agile planning, task tracking, and regular engineering activities.
• Communicate project progress, risks, issues, and blockers to the appropriate engineering teams.
• Collaborate with electrical, firmware, software, manufacturing, and external testing teams to support validation and board updates.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Approximately 2–3 years of hands-on electrical engineering experience with board-level electronics.
