About the position

Join the team which delivers highly differentiated silicon into Blink and Ring battery powered devices. Our validation team works on state-of-the-art SoCs in a vertically integrated team environment to deliver products our customers love. The team works backwards from customer requirements to build super-low power, energy efficient designs that include the latest in AI, video processing, low power communications, and CMOS fabrication technology. Because we are vertically integrated, we directly get to see products built and shipped based on our silicon. We work directly with product teams to increase the velocity of features and time to ship products. As a Hardware Development Engineer II, you will design and develop hardware products, including circuit boards, components, and systems, while adhering to industry standards and best practices. You will generate and maintain hardware design, testing, and quality control documentation. Participation in design reviews, risk assessments, and product validation activities will be essential to ensure compliance with regulations. Collaboration with cross-functional teams, including design, development, and customer support, will be necessary to provide feedback and input on product design, performance optimization, and manufacturability. In your day-to-day activities, you will execute comprehensive test plans, test cases, and test scripts to validate the performance, functionality, and durability of hardware products. Conducting thorough testing and validation of hardware products to ensure compliance with specifications, requirements, and quality standards will be a key responsibility. You will perform root cause analysis and troubleshooting of hardware defects and implement preventive measures for malfunctions to minimize future occurrences. Staying up to date with the latest advancements in hardware testing methodologies and applying them to improve the overall quality of our products will be crucial.
