Electrical Hardware Validation Engineer

Customer:  Wipro

Location: Redmond, WA

Work Setup: 100% Onsite

Primary Skills

• Board-level and system-level validation
• Electrical hardware testing and debugging
• PCB testing and board bring-up
• Component-level troubleshooting
• Basic lab equipment usage (Oscilloscope, DMM, Function Generator, Logic Analyzer, etc.)
• High-speed and low-speed interfaces (PCIe, USB, I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, Ethernet, etc.)
• Hardware validation, root-cause analysis, and failure debugging
• Schematic reading and hardware troubleshooting
• Exposure to Python, LabVIEW, or test automation is a plus

Please focus on candidates with practical hands-on hardware experience rather than purely software, manufacturing, or assembly backgrounds.

Job Responsibilities

• Define electrical validation methodologies for PCB and different subsystems by working with system integration EE team and technology teams.
• Define and track detailed test plans for the different modules and top level systems. Validation coverage includes SoC, low speed signal interface (I2C, I2S, PDM...etc), I/O signals, high speed differential MIPI C-PHY/D-PHY, PCIe, USB SS, and UFS), electrical performance of subsystems such Display, Camera/Vision systems, Power/PMIC, Analog/Mixed-Signal, or Silicon IC FAE (e.g., TI, Renesas, Maxim, Qualcomm).
• Drive and execute validation to meet key deadlines and priority goals.
• Own execution, interpretation, and reporting of electrical validation work status and results.
• Clearly document test results. Keep track of bugs encountered and fixed.
• Design, expand EE test automation and processes.
• Support system bring up and debug activities.
• Clearly communicate test plans and results.

Minimum Qualifications

• 3+ years of Electrical System Verification for consumer electronics - experience with mobile technology (smartphone, watches, AR/VR) is a plus.
• Experience with definition of validation test plans and developing detailed electrical validation SOPs.
• Experience executing electrical validation on the bench. Familiarity with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMM, e-load, power supply, power analyzer, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, protocol analyzer and temp chamber.
• Understanding of board schematics and board layout, finding proper probe locations and identify potential points of failure in the DUT.
• Board and system level validation and debugging experience.
• Working knowledge of Python, and LabVIEW for data processing and automation.
