Hardware Test Engineer

About the Position

We are seeking a Hardware Test Engineer to lead onsite testing and debugging of our hardware products in Rochester and Winona, Minnesota. This role requires regular on-site presence at our contract manufacturer (CM) and offers a relocation package.

Responsibilities

As a Hardware Test Engineer at Oxide, you will:

• Be the onsite Hardware Test Engineering subject matter expert. You will lead the CM with debugging and troubleshooting complex hardware systems.
• Validate new test functions before transitioning to production.
• Collaborate with manufacturing software teams to improve test design and provide inputs.
• Interface with systems as you test and troubleshoot our product.
• Learn about every piece of Oxide’s hardware, from PCBAs to rack-level, including reading schematics and drawings.
• Participate in new product introduction (NPI) bring-up and development planning with the engineering team.
• Recommend hardware and equipment needed for test system bill of materials (BOMs).
• Work with the hardware design team to provide DFx feedback and integrate it into Oxide’s product.
• Provide inputs and recommendations for procedural guidance for test documentation.
• Work with Oxide and CM Quality functions to debug trending failures and provide insight into root cause analyses.

Requirements

You will thrive in this role if you:

• Have previous electrical hardware testing and debug experience, specifically in an environment with rapid new product introduction.
• Are comfortable digging into technical issues with no known solutions, but not too proud to ask for help when needed.
• Know how to use oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, frequency counters, and logic analyzers to debug complex hardware issues.
• Have experience with Rust and bash for reading and manipulating software.
• Love getting into the details of circuit design and finding new ways to simulate and test board designs.
• Have developed and deployed solutions to test extremely high-speed data paths.
• Want to work with the latest technologies, even if it means limited documentation and figuring things out yourself.
• Have experience with leading-edge PCB technology and electrical design, including familiarity with DDR4/5, PCIe, and I2C/SPI/UART buses.
• Get energy from enabling robust manufacturing in a rapidly growing company.
• Have a strong curiosity and drive to achieve the impossible.
• Believe in fully documenting your ideas and enjoy reading documentation produced by others.
