What you’ll be doing

• Work closely with EE design engineers and other engineering teams to examine the individual PCBs, their function, and interconnections
• Simulation & hands‑on characterization of a circuit, sub‑circuit, PCBA, or system and articulating feedback in formal or informal design reviews
• Partner with design leads to perform a variety of design verification & validation tasks
• May engage with CM’s or internal Manufacturing teams to ensure smooth roll‑out in an NPI function
• Support EE team in backend design support including RMA, FA, and customer interfacing

What you have

• BS or Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 1‑4 years experience in the Electrical Hardware / product space with robust, hands‑on lab experience
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
