Original job description

Job Title: Hardware EngineerJob DescriptionWe are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineering (EE) Validation Engineer to support the hardware validation of next-generation smart glasses at our Sunnyvale, CA location. The role involves close collaboration with the validation lead and focuses on monitoring validation progress, reviewing contract manufacturer (CM) test reports, analyzing failures, and coordinating with EE design partners to drive issues to closure. This position requires strong hands-on measurement skills, as well as the ability to interpret data, track issues, and ensure efficient problem resolution.

Responsibilities

Review CM-generated validation reports to verify data quality, flag anomalies, and confirm correct application of pass/fail criteria.
Analyze validation failures to determine whether they are due to measurement errors, design defects, or assembly quality problems.
Coordinate with EE design partners to present data, propose root cause hypotheses, and support corrective action decisions.
Track open issues through resolution, ensuring fixes are validated and closed promptly.
Facilitate communication between CM, EE design, layout, and firmware teams to maintain issue momentum.
Maintain issue tracker and provide regular status updates to the validation lead.
Monitor overall validation progress against milestones, escalating risks and blockers early.
Develop clear, repeatable test procedures (SOPs) for CM technicians to execute independently.
Train and guide CM engineers/technicians on proper measurement techniques, probe placement, fixture usage, and data collection.
Define probe points and measurement access strategy, communicating to CM with annotated layout markups.
Provide real-time technical guidance to CM when measurements yield unexpected results.
Establish clear acceptance criteria and escalation paths for CM to follow, in alignment with the validation lead.
Perform PI/SI measurements that require senior-level judgment.
Validate CM measurement setups by performing correlation measurements.
Debug escalated issues that CM cannot resolve independently.
Develop new measurement methodologies and fixtures for novel circuits or challenging probe access.
Support prototype bring-up and characterization during build phases.

Essential Skills

BS/MS in Electrical Engineering.
4+ years of EE hardware validation experience with a strong emphasis on power integrity and signal integrity.
Proven ability to analyze test data, identify root causes, and drive issues to closure with cross-functional teams.
Experience reviewing test reports for correctness, identifying gaps, and driving follow-up actions.
Ability to develop test procedures that others execute, including clear technical writing, structured SOPs, and annotated diagrams.
Strong schematic reading skills, including tracing signal paths, understanding power distribution, and mapping circuit function from schematics and datasheets.
PCB layout review experience, including assessing probe access, SI/PI risk, and debug strategy.
Expert-level knowledge of lab instruments: high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, power rail probes, active/differential probes, current probes, spectrum analyzers.
Experience with DC-DC converter characterization and high-speed digital signal measurements.
Solid understanding of transmission line theory, impedance matching, and flex PCB signal integrity challenges.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex EE issues clearly to CM teams and design partners.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience working with CMs or ODMs in a validation support capacity.
Experience with wearable, mobile, or IoT hardware (space-constrained, low-power designs).
Familiarity with RF measurement (BLE/WiFi TX power, sensitivity, antenna return loss).
Familiarity with proto/EVT/DVT/PVT build cycles and NPI environments.
Experience with issue tracking systems and cross-functional coordination in hardware programs.

Work EnvironmentThe position involves working on-site in Sunnyvale, CA. The role requires daily interaction with the validation lead, CM engineers (both remote and on-site), the EE design team, and firmware teams. Tools and technologies used include Keysight/Tektronix oscilloscopes (1 GHz), power rail probes, active probes, SMUs, VNAs, protocol analyzers, along with scripting, schematic/layout viewers (Allegro, Altium, or equivalent), and data analysis tools. Documentation and collaboration are facilitated through Google Workspace, Tasks/JIRA for issue tracking. Job Type & LocationThis is a Contract position based out of Sunnyvale, CA. Pay and BenefitsThe pay range for this position is $100.00 - $100.00/hr.
