Senior Electrical Engineer II, Design Assurance

What you will be doing

• As a Senior Electrical Engineer, Design Assurance at Neros, you will validate the electronics that go into our next generation airside and groundside platforms.
• You will perform circuit analysis, bring up and characterize new hardware, run qualification testing, and design the fixtures and test stations that support it.
• You will work directly with design engineers during product development so that what you find makes it back into the design before production.

Responsibilities

• Perform worst-case circuit analysis and component derating from schematic through post-layout, update the analysis 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 and validate the results on the bench, feeding findings back into stackup, layout, and decoupling decisions
• Plan and execute qualification testing, including HALT/HASS, thermal, vibration, and EMC pre-compliance, and lead root-cause analysis on failures
• Design and build test fixtures, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) stations, and HALT/HASS setups, including the automation and data acquisition behind them
• Support design engineers during product development with design-for-test (DFT) and design-for-reliability (DFR) input

You should have the following

• 8+ years of experience in electrical hardware engineering, with hands-on ownership of design verification, validation, or qualification of circuit boards
• Hands-on 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 your own test plans and reports
• Signal and power integrity simulation (HFSS, HyperLynx, SIwave, or similar), with bench validation using TDR, VNA, and high-speed oscilloscopes
• Qualification testing experience, including HALT/HASS and environmental testing (thermal, vibration) to MIL-STD-810 or equivalent standards
• Experience designing and building test fixtures, HIL stations, and automated test setups, including scripting in Python or similar
• Board-level design experience: schematics and PCBs you designed yourself. Test fixtures and test stations count
• Deep proficiency with bench instrumentation: oscilloscopes, network and spectrum analyzers, power analyzers, electronic loads, and environmental chambers
• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field

Nice to Have

• EMC/EMI pre-compliance testing (MIL-STD-461 or equivalent)
• High-speed interface compliance testing (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
