We're looking for a hands-on System Practical Engineer to own hardware bring-up, integration, and validation in our R&D lab, working closely with experienced R&D engineers. You'll spend your days with real hardware - bringing up boards, flashing firmware, chasing down faults, writing test scripts, and running thermal and environmental characterization. The heart of this role is ownership: taking a task and making it happen end-to-end, working independently and knowing when to escalate.

What you'll do

• Bring up and integrate boards and systems; debug hardware and firmware; support prototype development.
• Own thermal characterization end-to-end - assemble units, run burn-in and environmental testing, and write the scripts that drive it.
• Build Python automation, test sequences, and diagnostic tools.
• Run system-level testing (signal integrity, power analysis) using lab instruments.
• Support mechanical assembly and mechanical-electrical integration.
• Own the lab: maintain equipment, manage BOMs and test procedures, document results, and work with R&D engineers to improve performance and reliability.
  
  

Requirements

• Electrical Practical Engineer diploma or equivalent technical certification.
• Strong understanding of schematics and analog/digital fundamentals (sensors, op-amps, logic, DC-DC converters, power management).
• 3+ years Hands-on with PCB components, soldering (SMD/TH), and communication protocols (RS-232, RS-485, I2C, SPI).
• Comfortable with lab instruments (multimeter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer) for measurement and debugging.
• Experience with microcontrollers and hardware interfaces (GPIO, PWM, ADC).
• Self-driven - able to take a task end-to-end and solve problems independently, with good communication and teamwork.
  
  

Nice to have

• Python scripting (automation, test, data collection/analysis).
• Firmware tools (flashing, terminal, debugging interfaces).
• Thermal testing or thermal imaging.
• Automated test frameworks and test-station development.
• Mechanical CAD (SolidWorks, STEP files).
• Signal integrity, power analysis, or reliability testing.
• R&D lab experience; DFM principles; Git for hardware files; OrCAD / PCB Editor (viewing).
