Responsibilities

• Support radar hardware development through requirements review, interface definition, design reviews, verification, validation, and issue tracking
• Assist with reviews of schematics, PCB layouts, RF front ends, antennas, signal chains, power, embedded compute, thermal behavior, diagnostics, and hardware interfaces
• Set up and execute bench, laboratory, environmental, simulation, and vehicle-integration tests using appropriate instrumentation and documented procedures
• Support hardware bring-up and troubleshooting by taking measurements, analyzing results, reproducing issues, and documenting root-cause findings
• Evaluate engineering data to assess hardware and sensor performance, identify trends, and support design or corrective-action decisions
• Assist with investigations involving signal integrity, power, thermal performance, electromagnetic compatibility, reliability, interfaces, and other hardware behaviors
• Collaborate with firmware, embedded software, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, supplier, and vehicle-integration teams to resolve issues and assess design maturity
• Contribute to technical documentation, including requirements, design decisions, test results, validation evidence, risk assessments, issue logs, and lessons learned

Skills
