Verification Engineer II

12 months

New York - Farley - onsite

Job Description

The Electronics Verification Engineer is responsible for validating and qualifying electronic hardware from prototype through production. On a day‑to‑day basis, this role involves hands‑on board bring‑up and bench testing using lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, etc.), executing validation plans against design requirements, troubleshooting circuit‑level failures, performing PCB rework, and capturing/​analyzing test data. The engineer writes and maintains test procedures, documents results in clear lab reports, tracks issues to resolution with cross‑functional teams, and supports NPI milestones (EVT/DVT/PVT). This is a lab‑heavy role that balances structured test execution with real‑time debug and root‑cause analysis to ensure hardware meets performance, reliability, and quality standards.

Minimum Qualifications

• 2+ years experience in electronics test, validation, or hardware quality engineering (or equivalent).
• Strong fundamentals in analog and digital circuits; able to read schematics, review PCB layout, and perform board bring‑up.
• Hands‑on troubleshooting, failure analysis, and PCB rework; proficient soldering of fine‑pitch components.
• Proficient with lab instrumentation: oscilloscope, DMM, function generator, power supplies, electronic loads, LCR meter (plus protocol/debug tools as applicable).
• Ability to create and execute validation plans (test matrix/DVP&R), define pass/fail criteria, and trace tests to requirements/specifications.
• Experience designing and executing manual and/or automated tests; strong test data capture, organization, and analysis.
• Clear written and verbal communication: lab reports, test summaries, issue tracking.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with NPI phases (EVT/DVT/PVT), fixture design, and design‑for‑test concepts.
• Python‑based test automation, data analysis, and plotting.
• PCB schematic/layout familiarity (Altium, Cadence, KiCad, Eagle).
• Use of LLM‑based tools to expedite processes.
• Reliability/environmental testing exposure (thermal, vibration/shock, humidity, ESD).
• DOE/statistics experience and strong presentation of results.

Must Haves

• 2+ years experience in electronics test, validation, or hardware quality engineering (or equivalent) shipping products to consumers experience.
• Hands on rework skills (soldering‑putting out and taking out components).
• Proficient with lab instrumentation: oscilloscope, DMM, function generator, power supplies, electronic loads, LCR meter (plus protocol/debug tools as applicable).
• Best practices of testing and verification, data analysis.

Nice to Have

• Knowing how a board is designed, familiar with reliability tests, familiar with product development cycles.
• Use of LLM based tools to expedite processes.
• Experience with NPI phases (EVT/DVT/PVT), fixture design, and design‑for‑test concepts.

Education

Degrees/Certifications Required: Electrical engineering and technology, EET degrees.
