Founded in 2010, we are a fast-growing Inc 5000 company focused on product excellence, outstanding service, and a high-performing team.
We are currently seeing a Hardware Applications Engineer to be responsible for hands on testing and documentation preparation to validate computer hardware solutions to our customers problems.
About the Role
You'll be the hands on bridge between customers, Sales, and Engineering-validating hardware solutions, documenting results, and closing the loop on issues in the lab and in the field. Your work accelerates design-ins, de-risks deployments, and raises product quality for industrial and medical use cases.
What you'll do..
Pre-sales validation: Plan and execute hardware/software validation (power-on, imaging, driver/firmware, thermal/EMI pre-checks), produce test reports, and present findings to customers to secure design-ins and approvals. Target turnaround: ≤5 business days for standard requests.
Witness & onsite testing: Serve as technical lead for customer or NRTL witness tests; capture logs, reproduce issues, and align on pass/fail criteria and risks.
Technical risk reviews: Review specs/SOWs for feasibility, identify edge cases, and propose mitigations (alternate components, BIOS/UEFI settings, thermal profiles).
Post-sales support: Lead escalations from production or field, drive root-cause with Engineering/Ops/Suppliers, and document Corrective Actions, aiming for >90% first-pass fix.
Medical documentation: Create/maintain V&V artifacts, change records, and traceability aligned to IEC 60601-1/-1-2, ISO 13485, and ISO 14971 (as applicable).
Continuous improvement: Trend validation failures/RMAs and recommend design or process changes to reduce defects and time-to-resolution
