Hardware Test Engineer

Hardware Test Engineer

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

As part of the medical product testing team, you will plan, identify, and execute system-level testing activities in an embedded product development environment to meet project goals through the following actions:

• Understand embedded product hardware architecture, subsystem boundaries, interfaces, and isolation diagrams.
• Review Hardware Design Documents (HDD), System Design Documents (SDD), schematics, interface specifications, and related design documentation to derive test scenarios and test cases.
• Plan, design, prepare, and execute subsystem-level hardware and firmware verification tests against defined design specifications.
• Verify communication interfaces and protocols such as UART, SPI, I²C, RS-232/RS-485, and Ethernet, as applicable to the product.
• Use laboratory instruments such as oscilloscopes, logic analysers, digital multimeters, and function generators to measure signals, validate timing, and investigate electrical or communication issues.
• Verify signal integrity, electrical characteristics, interface timing, state transitions, and fault/error handling against specified requirements.
• Set up test benches, fixtures, and measurement arrangements appropriate to the subsystem under test.
• Record test procedures, configurations, measured results, evidence, and deviations in a clear and reproducible manner.
• Investigate failures, support root-cause analysis with hardware/firmware design teams, retest fixes, and maintain defect records.
• Maintain traceability to design requirements and contribute to test coverage reviews, early defect identification, and process improvement.
• Follow applicable safety, quality, and regulatory procedures and support project timelines.

ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATION AND EXPERIENCE

QUALIFICATION:

• Engineering degree or above in Electrical & Electronics (EEE), Electronics & Communication (ECE), Biomedical Engineering, Bioelectronics, or equivalent.

TECHNICAL COMPETENCY: (ESSENTIALS)

• 4–5 years of professional experience in embedded hardware, firmware-interface, or subsystem verification/testing.
• Hands-on experience using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and digital multimeters; experience with function generators is an advantage.
• Ability to interpret hardware schematics, hardware architecture, isolation diagrams, and interface documentation.
• Experience deriving test cases from Hardware Design Documents (HDD), System Design Documents (SDD), and technical specifications.
• Practical knowledge of communication protocol verification/validation for embedded systems.
• Understanding of analog/digital electronics, microcontroller-based systems, and hardware/software interfaces.
• Experience with structured test execution, technical result reporting, and defect lifecycle management using Jira or an equivalent tool.

ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATION AND EXPERIENCE (DESIRABLES)

• Experience in medical device/healthcare domain and familiarity with medical industry standards is highly preferred but not mandatory.
• Experience using Test management tools such as Code beamer or Doors for requirement traceability.
• Working knowledge of agile development methodologies.
• Basic exposure to scripting or test automation (e.g. Python) for embedded environments.
