Hardware QA Engineer System Level Mechanical and Environmental Testing

Skills

About the Role

You will plan and perform system- and set-level validation for NPU products. You will evaluate functional performance, environmental reliability, mechanical stress, and long-term stability; investigate failures; coordinate corrective actions; and report validation results.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or higher in electrical engineering, electronics, computer engineering, semiconductors, or a related field.
• At least 3 years of Hardware QA, validation, or reliability experience.
• Ability to plan and perform system- and set-level hardware functional, reliability, and environmental evaluations.
• Understanding of PCB, PCBA, basic circuits, power, thermal behavior, and mechanical environments.
• Ability to use hardware validation equipment and analyze anomalies from test conditions and measurements.
• Ability to translate product requirements into test plans and pass or fail criteria and document results.
• Ability to collaborate with development, manufacturing, and supplier organizations on root-cause analysis and improvement validation.

Responsibilities

• Define system-level validation plans, samples, conditions, test items, and pass or fail criteria across EVT, DVT, and PVT stages.
• Evaluate NPU accelerator functionality, performance, and long-term stability under environmental conditions.
• Plan and perform mechanical shock, vibration, power-cycling, burn-in, RDT, and ORT testing.
• Compare pre-stress, in-stress, and post-stress behavior and identify intermittent, thermal, and power-related failures.
• Investigate PCB, PCBA, NPU, and power-circuit failures using logs and measurements.
• Coordinate X-ray, SAT, and cross-section analysis with specialist teams and suppliers.
• Manage test conditions, sample histories, equipment settings, results, and reliability reports.
