Summary
Our team is new, growing, and evolving quickly, and we are hiring across multiple disciplines. We work at the intersection of machine learning, hardware, and software, creating technologies that reshape how people communicate and experience the world around them in everyday life.

Description
We are looking for a highly motivated validation engineer to join our validation team. Our group is working on a unique, innovative technology in the field of cameras and lasers.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with hardware design teams to influence board architecture for optimal validation coverage
• Validation and characterization of analog and power domains for camera and laser sensor subsystems
• Perform detailed power consumption analysis across all system operating modes — active, standby, sleep, and transition states
• Characterize laser drive circuits — including drive current profiles, modulation behavior, thermal effects, and compliance voltage margins
• Validate protection circuits — over-current, over-voltage, under-voltage lockout (UVLO), thermal shutdown, and eye-safety interlock mechanisms
• Validate system behavior across all defined operating modes and transitions
• Characterize power efficiency, conversion losses, and thermal performance of power delivery networks
• Execute corner-case and stress testing to identify margins and failure boundaries
  
  

Minimum Qualifications

• BSc in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering
• 5+ years of experience in analog/power validation, characterization, or hardware design verification
• Extensive experience in lab and measurement equipment such as: oscilloscope, DMM, power supplies, signal generator, thermal imaging, electronic load, spectrum analyzer etc.
• Hands on CAD tool such as Cadence Capture and Allegro or Altiumv
• Hands-on experience with power domain characterization in multi-sensor systems
• Strong proficiency in Python for test automation, data acquisition, instrumentation control, and analysis
• Demonstrated ability to work across the full validation cycle — from test plan definition through execution, analysis, and reporting
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Proven experience designing validation strategies and DFV methodologies for development platforms – Advantage
• Proven experience in board EMC and thermal simulations CAD tools such as Ansys or ADS - Advantage
• Solid understanding of laser safety standards and protection circuit requirements for compliance - Big advantage.
