Position Overview

We are seeking a Design Verification Test Engineer to support the verification and validation of electronic hardware designs through hands-on laboratory testing and measurement. This role is highly lab-focused and involves executing test plans, performing detailed measurements, and verifying hardware performance against design requirements. The ideal candidate has a strong engineering background, extensive test and measurement experience, and the ability to work independently in a professional lab environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute design verification test plans and validate hardware performance against specifications
• Perform detailed electrical measurements, including clock and protocol measurements
• Bring up and verify new circuit boards and assemblies
• Measure and validate critical interfaces and subsystems
• Conduct verification testing on hardware under development, including portions of boards currently in design
• Use laboratory equipment such as power supplies, function generators, DMMs, oscilloscopes, and specialized probes
• Debug hardware issues, identify root causes, and document findings with clear technical analysis
• Record, track, and report test results and issues using tools such as Confluence and Jira
• Work full-time in the lab environment, taking measurements and producing thorough test reports

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline
• Strong engineering background with hands-on test and measurement experience
• Demonstrated experience in design verification testing
• Ability to read and interpret schematics and PCB layouts
• Experience measuring and validating electrical interfaces
• Proficiency working in a professional laboratory setting
• Experience with test execution, including test case generation, execution, and reporting
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Design experience supporting or collaborating with hardware design teams
• Experience with clocking, timing, and protocol-level measurements
• Familiarity with verification methodologies and standards relevant to the space or aerospace industry
• Multiple years of experience focused on test measurement and verification (as opposed to purely design roles)
• Stable work history demonstrating long-term engagement in prior roles

Work Environment

• Primarily lab-based role with daily hands-on testing and measurements
• Close collaboration with hardware design and engineering teams

• Comprehensive medical benefits
• Competitive pay
• 401(k) retirement plan
