Overview Lead Engineer, Hardware Test in Celestica's hardware validation team. You will bridge design and production to ensure PCBAs are robust, compliant, and ready for real-world use. You will work with senior engineers to execute complex test plans, debug prototypes, and analyze signal performance. Expect hands-on lab work across bring-up, signal integrity, and power testing, with documentation to help root-cause hardware issues. This role offers meaningful impact by shaping reliable hardware as part of a cross-functional, mission-driven team.
Responsibilities- Board bring-up and functional verification of new PCB assemblies
- Signal integrity testing on high-speed interfaces (PCIe, USB, DDR)
- DC-DC power characterization, including efficiency and power sequencing
- Electrical characterization to verify conformance to specs
- Data analysis and results reporting; collaborate with design team to root-cause failures
Key requirements- BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical field
- Hands-on lab experience with Digital Oscilloscopes (high bandwidth), DMMs, Programmable Power Supplies and Electronic Loads
- Scripting in a terminal environment
- Spectrum Analyzers or VNAs is a plus
- Foundational signal integrity concepts and ability to read schematics/PCB layouts
- Basic soldering for rework and attaching test probes
- 3+ years of relevant experience
- Strong analytical mindset
- Proactive problem-solving
- Clear technical communication
- Signal Integrity (impedance matching, transmission lines)
- PCB reading and layout interpretation
- High-speed interface testing (PCIe, USB, DDR)
