Senior Electrical Engineer II, Design Assurance

Neros Technologies•Torrance, CA

12d•$187,000 - $315,000

About The Position

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, Design Assurance at Neros, you will validate electronics for next-generation airside and groundside platforms. You will perform circuit analysis, bring up and characterize new hardware, conduct qualification testing, and design the fixtures and test stations that support this work. You will work directly with design engineers during product development to ensure findings are incorporated into designs before production.

Requirements

8+ years of experience in electrical hardware engineering, with hands-on ownership of circuit-board design verification, validation, or qualification.
Hands-on experience with worst-case circuit analysis and component derating on production hardware, from schematic-level analysis through post-layout checks and bench correlation.
Board bring-up, characterization, and validation experience, including writing test plans and reports.
Signal and power integrity simulation using HFSS, HyperLynx, SIwave, or similar tools, with bench validation using TDR, VNA, and high-speed oscilloscopes.
Qualification testing experience, including HALT/HASS and environmental testing such as thermal and vibration testing to MIL-STD-810 or equivalent standards.
Experience designing and building test fixtures, HIL stations, and automated test setups, including scripting in Python or a similar language.
Board-level design experience, including schematics and PCBs designed by the candidate; test fixtures and test stations count.
Deep proficiency with bench instrumentation, including oscilloscopes, network and spectrum analyzers, power analyzers, electronic loads, and environmental chambers.
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field.

Nice To Haves

EMC/EMI pre-compliance testing experience (MIL-STD-461 or equivalent).
High-speed interface compliance testing experience (PCIe, MIPI, USB, Ethernet).
Experience taking hardware through a production ramp with a contract manufacturer, including production test development.
Background in UAV, aerospace, automotive, defense, or medical device hardware.

Responsibilities

Perform worst-case circuit analysis and component derating from schematic through post-layout; update analyses with bench measurements and work with the responsible engineer to close findings before release.
Bring up, characterize, and validate new circuit boards against requirements, including authoring test plans, procedures, and reports.
Perform signal and power integrity simulation, validate results on the bench, and feed findings back into stackup, layout, and decoupling decisions.
Plan and execute qualification testing, including HALT/HASS, thermal, vibration, and EMC pre-compliance testing; lead root-cause analysis on failures.
Design and build test fixtures, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) stations, and HALT/HASS setups, including their automation and data acquisition.
Support design engineers during product development with design-for-test (DFT) and design-for-reliability (DFR) input.
