Design Validation Engineer Position Description:
Protingent Staffing has an exciting contract Design Validation Engineer opportunity located in Redmond, WA. Responsibilities Develop and execute detailed hardware validation and verification plans for complex analog, digital, and embedded systems. Collaborate closely with hardware design, integration, and systems engineering teams to ensure product requirements are accurately tested and validated. Design and perform board-level bring-up, debug, and validation of new hardware, including testing of microcontrollers, SoCs, FPGAs, power supplies, and communication interfaces (e.g., SPI, I2C, CAN, QSPI). Create and maintain test cases, test procedures, and traceability matrices that align with project and regulatory requirements (e.g., GEVS, SMC-S-016). Perform hands-on bench testing and electrical debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and other lab equipment. Lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions for hardware issues uncovered during validation or integration phases.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field, with 5+ years of experience in board-level design verification for aerospace, automotive, or consumer electronics products. Experience developing requirements, plans, and procedures for product design verification. Experience developing and executing verification plans, test cases, and test procedures to ensure proper functioning of hardware designs. Excellent communication and leadership skills; strong board-level electrical circuit troubleshooting and debugging skills. Strong hands-on soldering skills, including experience with both through-hole and surface-mount components as part of hardware preparation for testing. Proven experience in design verification for hardware systems, including board-level debugging and analysis. Ability to work in a team-oriented environment and collaborate effectively across disciplines.
Preferred Qualifications
Solid understanding of EE and test fundamentals with emphasis on power electronics. Experience with design or test of circuit boards with complex microcontrollers, SOCs, or FPGAs, and with design or test of communication buses, switching power supplies, electric motors, IMUs, sensors, RF, and high-speed signal characterization. Experience with the definition of test requirements or the development of manufacturing test equipment. Experience with the development of acceptance, production, and qualification test plans and aerospace standards (GEVS / SMC-S-016). Experience with the development of automated test systems and hands-on IO bring-up and compliance testing for protocols such as SPI, QSPI, I2C, I3C, and CAN bus. Familiarity with programming languages used in automation (e.g., Python, C). Experience leading small groups of test engineers across multiple designs. Hands-on experience with IO bring-up and compliance testing for protocols such as SPI, QSPI, I2C, I3C, and CAN bus.
