How You Will Contribute:

We are looking for a highly skilled hardware validation engineer. The candidate will be involved in the HW validation (DVT) of Networking Platforms for our next-generation carrier-class networking products across the product line. This position will focus on System level testing which includes the functional testing of the systems, integration testing, and environmental testing. The roles and responsibilities of this position will also include the electrical level of testing that involves capturing the electrical parameters of the system as part of the SI analysis. As part of a hardware validation team, you will be introduced to useful tools and resources that will help you grow both professionally and personally. It is a unique opportunity to develop your engineering knowledge and skills in an environment dedicated to maintaining industry superiority.

The candidate will be expected to provide a basic assessment of his/her own work including effort estimation, status reporting, etc. The candidate will get enough exposure for continuous learning and development of skills in the related domain.

Roles and Responsibilities: As a HW DVT engineer, you would be involved in the following:

• Board-level and system-level testing including functional testing, electrical parameters testing, thermal and environmental testing.
• Understand the functional specification of the system and then write the test cases/test specifications to test all the hardware interfaces present in the system.
• Bench and system-level testing of new designs for verification against design specifications, record all the issues/anomalies, and track/test fixes before release into production.
• Complete all documentation that is required to capture test specifications and results.
• Communication and coordination with HW Design, System Validation, Compliance/Reliability, and Manufacturing teams throughout the development cycle from prototype through production.
• Attend meetings, report progress, and take technical leadership to debug the issues.
• Help investigate and collect information to resolve process or design issues found in a current design or in previous designs.
• Provide guidance and mentoring to junior engineers hired into the team who may be tasked to perform some of the above duties.
