System Hardware Engineer – Prototype Bring-Up (Profile)
Required: U.S. Person Only
Summary
A System Hardware Engineer specializing in prototype bring-up, debug, and validation
of early-stage hardware platforms. Experienced working in hardware labs with bench-
top instruments to evaluate system performance, identify design issues, and ensure
reliable operation of new devices. Collaborates closely with design, firmware, and
manufacturing teams to accelerate product readiness.
Key Responsibilities
- Prototype Bring-Up & Validation
- Power-on, configure, and validate first-article prototype boards and
- subsystems.
- Perform initial silicon bring-up and evaluate board/system functionality.
- Debug hardware issues such as signal integrity, power sequencing, timing
- failures, and component misbehavior.
- Hardware Lab Operation
- Use standard benchtop equipment including oscilloscopes, digital
- multimeters (DMM), power supplies, logic analyzers, and function
- generators.
- Set up automated test benches for repetitive debugging or data collection.
- Debug & Root Cause Analysis
- Measure critical signals, rails, clocks, and high-speed interfaces.
- Interpret schematics, PCB layouts, and datasheets to root-cause failures.
- Coordinate with PCB layout, EE design, and firmware teams to isolate
- cross-domain issues.
- System-Level Testing
- Validate power delivery network (PDN), signal integrity (SI), and thermal
- behavior.
- Verify buses and protocols such as I²C, JTAG, and DDR.
- Characterize device performance, stability, and compliance.
- Documentation & Reporting
- Document bring-up procedures, test results, and debug findings.
- Provide clear reports and recommendations for design updates or ECO
- changes.
- Maintain lab test logs, configuration notes, and measurement snapshots.
