Position: Hardware Validation Engineer
Location: Gurugram
Working Days: Monday to Friday
Experience Required: 1 to 3 years
Our Client is building a wearable that works at the edge of what's physically possible. Validating that hardware means going deep: power, signal integrity, thermals, firmware, and reliability, all held to a standard where failure isn't an option.
- Power profile the device across sleep, active, workout, and charging states
- Capture and analyse signals on oscilloscopes and logic analysers: timing, voltage rails, power sequencing, peripheral behaviour
- Validate circuit-level behaviour across MCU, MOSFETs, BJTs, diodes, op-amps, and ASICs in charging, sensing, and control subsystems
- Verify communication integrity on I2C, SPI, UART, and USB using protocol analysers
- Characterise sensors for accuracy, noise floor, drift, and response across operating conditions
- Support firmware bring-up: boot sequence, peripheral init, low-power state transitions
- Run functional validation end-to-end: display, touch, haptics, sensors, wireless, charging
- Reproduce errors systematically and isolate root cause across HW, FW, or process
- Write Python scripts to automate test sequences, parse logs, and extract key metrics
- Build automated report generation and data visualization pipelines
- Write structured test reports with clear methodology, pass/fail criteria, and conclusions
- Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analysers, protocol analysers, and bench supplies
- Comfort at the circuit level: MOSFETs, op-amps, diodes, ASICs, sensor ICs
- Familiarity with climate chamber testing, thermal cycling, drop/shock/vibe, ESD, and IP rating validation
- Ability to read datasheets, define expected behaviour, and derive test limits
- Python scripting for test automation, log parsing, and data visualization
- A systematic approach to reproducing and isolating defects
- Experience with sensor calibration and factory test sequences is a bonus
