About The Position

The Lab Infra Engineer supports the Systems Engineering function through prototype bring-up, test execution, device farm operations, and cross-functional engineering work. The role keeps devices and lab infrastructure ready for testing and validation cycles in a fast-paced R&D environment. The engineer sets up, configures, and maintains prototype hardware and test systems; supports device provisioning, firmware flashing, and requested configuration changes; and maintains lab racks, devices, cables, and power and network connectivity. The role also manages prototype device farms for automated testing, ensures systems are ready for continuous integration pipelines, and manually intervenes when automation fails or needs remediation. The engineer executes hardware, firmware, and system-level test procedures; helps debug test failures and distinguish hardware from software issues; and supports functional, regression, performance, and reliability validation. The role includes troubleshooting device failures, connectivity issues, and test anomalies; collecting logs, contributing to root-cause analysis, and escalating defects. Additional duties include maintaining lab cleanliness, organization, and safety; tracking inventory and supporting calibration and maintenance schedules; documenting configurations, issues, and test results; collaborating with Systems Engineering, Firmware, Hardware, and Infrastructure teams; assisting with new platform bring-up, debug sessions, experiments, and validation; and coordinating with third-party vendor teams and internal stakeholders on hardware equipment and accessories.

Requirements

Eight years of experience in lab infrastructure engineering, hardware validation, or a test lab environment.
Hands-on experience working with consumer electronics, embedded systems, or prototype devices.
Strong understanding of device setup, configuration, and hardware troubleshooting.
Familiarity with Linux operating systems and basic command-line operations.
Ability to analyze logs, document results, and track issues systematically.
Strong attention to detail and ability to follow structured test procedures.
Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.

Nice To Haves

Experience with device automation environments or CI/CD test infrastructure, such as Jenkins.
Basic Python or Shell scripting knowledge for test execution or debugging.
Exposure to Android/iOS debugging tools such as ADB and Logcat.
Familiarity with networking, device provisioning, and lab-scale hardware setups.
Prior experience in AR/VR, wearable devices, or consumer hardware R&D environments.

Responsibilities

Set up, configure, and maintain prototype hardware devices and test systems.
Support device provisioning, firmware flashing, and configuration changes requested by engineering teams.
Maintain lab infrastructure, including racks, devices, cables, and power and network connectivity.
Manage and monitor prototype device farms used for automated testing workflows.
Ensure systems are test-ready and operational for continuous integration pipelines; manually intervene when automated systems fail or require remediation.
Execute hardware, firmware, and system-level test procedures across devices.
Support debugging test failures by isolating hardware versus software issues.
Assist with functional, regression, performance, and reliability validation activities.
Investigate and troubleshoot device failures, connectivity issues, and test anomalies.
Work with engineering teams to capture logs, perform root-cause analysis, and escalate defects.
Maintain lab cleanliness, organization, and safety standards.
Track inventory of devices, cables, and consumables; support calibration and maintenance schedules.
Document configurations, issues, and test results accurately.
Collaborate with Systems Engineering, Firmware, Hardware, and Infrastructure teams.
Support rapid prototyping cycles and bring-up activities for new hardware platforms.
Assist engineers during debug sessions, experiments, and validation cycles.
Work with third-party vendor teams and internal stakeholders on hardware equipment and accessories.
