Senior Application Engineer

SR PRODUCT ENGINEER - Hardware Validation

At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world. 

Job Overview

We are hiring a hands-on Electrical & Electronics Engineer to drive high-speed and high-power validation for next-generation data centre systems. This role requires strong ownership, deep technical expertise, and the ability to work in an aggressive, fast-paced environment.
The candidate will be responsible for end-to-end testing, from bench setup and instrumentation to debug, analysis, and automation. You will work closely with design, SI/PI, and system teams to ensure robust and scalable hardware performance.

Key Responsibilities:

1. High-Speed Validation
•    Perform validation of multi-Gbps links and PAM4-based systems
•    Conduct signal integrity analysis including eye diagrams, jitter, loss, and equalization
•    Use tools such as VNAs, BERTs, and high-speed oscilloscopes for characterization and debug

2. High-Power Testing
•    Execute testing of high-current / high-power subsystems
•    Validate power delivery networks and perform stress and corner testing
•    Identify and debug power integrity and thermal-related issues

3. Debug & Root Cause Analysis
•    Diagnose complex failures across signal integrity, power integrity, and system interactions
•    Perform deep dive analysis and provide actionable insights to design teams
•    Drive issue closure with clear documentation and data-backed conclusions

4. Test Automation & Infrastructure
•    Develop automated test solutions using NI TestStand and LabVIEW
•    Select and integrate NI hardware platforms (PXI, DAQ, modular instruments)
•    Build scalable and repeatable test setups for high-throughput validation

5. System-Level Validation
•    Validate boards, subsystems, and rack-level hardware for data centre applications
•    Execute reliability, stress, and compliance-oriented testing
•    Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure system robustness and performance

Mandatory:

•    Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical / Electronics Engineering
•    ~10 years of hands-on experience in high-speed hardware validation / test engineering
•    Strong expertise in:
o    High-speed digital design and signal integrity fundamentals
o    PAM4 signaling and validation
o    High-power / power delivery testing
•    Proven experience with:
o    VNAs, BERTs, high-bandwidth oscilloscopes
o    NI Test Stand and LabVIEW – good to have
o    Selection and deployment of NI-based test systems
•    Demonstrated ability to independently debug complex system-level issues

Nice to Have

•    Experience with data center interfaces (Ethernet 100G/200G/400G/800G, PCIe Gen4/5/6, SerDes)
•    Familiarity with compliance testing and industry standards
•    Exposure to rack-level systems, power shelves, or accelerator platforms
•    Experience with Python or other scripting languages for automation and data analysis
•    Understanding of thermal validation and system-level interactions
