Job: Senior Electrical/Systems Test Engineer

Location: San Francisco, CA

What the job involves

We are seeking an Electrical/Systems Test Engineer to join our team. In this role, you

will play a critical part in the testing and validation of our hardware systems. You will

work on Electrical/system testing, validation, and hardware debugging of electrical

components and systems involving edge processors, cameras and Linux environment.

Responsibilities

• You will be responsible for system-level testing & debugging, and hardware/software
• integration for edgeAI devices (cameras, onboard computers, telemetry modules) used
• in transit and enforcement systems.
• System Debugging: Diagnose and resolve functional or performance issues in
• systems combining edge processors (e.g., ARM-based SoCs), camera sensors,
• and embedded Linux platforms.
• Hardware/Software Troubleshooting: Work across electrical interfaces (MIPI-CSI,
• USB, I2C, etc.) and low-level software layers.
• Linux Debugging: Use Linux tools (e.g., dmesg, strace, gdb, perf, systemd,
• journalctl) for root cause analysis.
• Python Automation: Develop and maintain Python-based tools and test scripts for
• regression testing, system monitoring, and validation workflows.
• Design and execute test plans, Build and maintain test benches, cable
• harnesses, designs fixtures, and improve automated test systems.
• Debug and troubleshoot electrical issues, including power supply, signal integrity,
• and EMI/EMC etc.,
• Support electrical compliance and qualification testing processes.
• Assist in prototype bringup, lab debugging (scopes, VNAs, logic analyzers).
• Perform functional, performance, and environmental testing to validate designs.
• Develop test setups and procedures to validate hardware performance and
• compliance with industry standards.
