Hardware Verification Engineer

The OpportunityOpTalent is partnering with a fast-growing Canadian technology company that designs connected hardware used in millions of homes across North America. We’re looking for a
Hardware Verification Engineer
early in their career to help test and deliver its next generation of products.
This is a hands-on lab role for an engineer who enjoys getting into the hardware: running tests, finding problems and working across electrical, RF, firmware and software teams. You’ll join a supportive, multidisciplinary hardware team where you’ll learn quickly and see your work go into products people use every day.
Please note:
this is a
hardware
verification role. It is not ASIC or chip-design verification, and it is not software QA.
What You’ll Be DoingVerification Testing
Run design verification tests on pre-production hardware using oscilloscopes, power supplies, e-loads, thermal chambers and data loggers
Validate signal integrity and timing on I2C, SPI, UART and SDIO interfaces
Build thermal test profiles and test hardware under changing environmental conditions
Modify and rework prototype boards to measure current draw, voltage ripple and other performance metrics
Write clear test reports and present your findings to the team
Test Automation
Write Python scripts to control lab equipment, analyze data and produce plots
Set up equipment for overnight and long-term stress tests using basic Linux scripts
Adjust example C code so new hardware runs in the right modes for testing
Write step-by-step test procedures so testing is fast and repeatable
Hardware Development
Read datasheets and compare component specs against test results
Help evaluate prototype circuits, and with senior engineers’ support, design schematics and circuit boards for simple circuits
Assemble small circuit boards using stencils and reflow equipment
Work with the Design, Firmware, Manufacturing and Test Fixture teams to find and fix root causes
Track progress, flag risks early and keep everyone informed
What We’re Looking For
Degree in Electrical, Computer or a related engineering discipline
2+ years
of experience in hardware development and test automation
Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, power supplies, e-loads, signal generators and thermal chambers
Strong Python skills;
familiarity with embedded C and Linux
Experience with Altium or a similar tool for schematic and circuit board design
Strong communication and organization skills
What’s on Offer
$75,000–$95,000 base salary, plus short- and long-term incentives
Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental and vision, life and disability insurance, retirement savings and paid time off
Hybrid schedule with 4 days a week in the office
Mentorship from experienced engineers and real room to grow
