Job Description
We are seeking an experienced System Integration Engineer – QA with 5–10 years of experience in electronic product validation, system integration, and quality assurance. The role is responsible for ensuring that hardware and embedded firmware-based products are thoroughly tested and validated to meet design requirements, quality standards, reliability targets, and regulatory compliance throughout the product development lifecycle, including EVT, DVT, PVT, and New Product Introduction (NPI) phases.
As a key interface between hardware, firmware, manufacturing, and quality teams, the successful candidate will lead system-level validation activities, identify and resolve integration issues, and ensure products are production-ready before release. This role requires strong technical expertise, leadership skills, and the ability to work effectively in a global, cross-functional environment.
Required Skills
• Strong background in electronics hardware and embedded firmware systems, with hands-on experience in validating integrated hardware-software products. Familiar with the full product validation cycle (e.g., EVT, DVT, PVT stages) and associated test processes.
• Proficient in functional, integration, and reliability testing of electronic products, including board-level testing (digital/analog circuits) and system-level verification.
• Demonstrated ability in root cause analysis and troubleshooting of hardware-firmware issues using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers.
• Experience with Design for Test (DFT) and failure analysis techniques.
• Solid understanding of industry quality standards and regulatory compliance for electronics (e.g., ISO 9001, IPC-A-610 for PCB assembly, safety and EMI/EMC regulations) to ensure products meet all reliability and safety requirements through proper testing.
• Hands-on experience with test and measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, spectrum or logic analyzers, and environmental chambers for hardware/firmware validation.
• Ability to develop or utilize test automation scripts and tools to execute test cases and streamline data collection.
• Proficiency in using test management software and defect tracking tools to document test plans, test results, and track bugs through resolution.
• Comfortable with data analysis tools for analyzing test data, calculating statistics (Cp/Cpk, yield), and generating reports on quality metrics.
• Basic PCB design and debugging tools (schematic viewers, logic analysers) to interpret and debug hardware issues.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Strong leadership and team coordination capabilities to drive cross-functional teams.
• Strong problem-solving aptitude and decisiveness to address technical and logistical challenges promptly.
• Customer-focused mindset with the ability to build trust and long-term relationships.
• High adaptability, proactive attitude, and ability to perform effectively under tight deadlines.
Added Benefits
• Proven experience leading projects within a global, cross-cultural environment and coordinating with international teams, suppliers, and customers.
• Experience developing system integration test plans, validation strategies, and end-to-end test execution for hardware and embedded firmware products.
• Exposure to New Product Introduction (NPI) activities and supporting the transition from development to manufacturing.
• Experience establishing end-of-line testing, troubleshooting processes, and production validation methodologies.
• Familiarity with quality metrics, statistical analysis, and continuous process improvement initiatives.
• Experience preparing test reports, validation documentation, defect summaries, and quality performance reports for stakeholders.
• Ability and willingness to travel approximately 15–20% for supplier visits, customer meetings, audits, and program reviews.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Mechatronics, or a related field
