Design

• Develop basic knowledge of industry trends, competitors' products, customer experience, and advances in various engineering fields. Consult with other engineers to help understand and apply advanced concepts.
• Assist in the creation and execution of robust, scalable, secure, and extensible designs and/or verification plans for the electrical engineering aspects of a well-defined feature or product extension (e.g., a product refresh, or line extension).
• Participate in creating intellectual property. May file patents within personal area of scope and complete necessary patent documentation.
• Implement known solutions to common technical and/or design challenges, with some guidance from other engineers.
• Read device specification sheets and interpret common details required to design and test various hardware features.
• Develop design documentation which could include drawings, specifications, schematics, or diagrams for features of well-defined products with guidance and direction from a manager or other engineers.
• Review supplier or partner technical sheets for available parts and choose appropriate parts needed to support product development.

Testing and Verification

• Ensure that test requirements are included in documentation and specifications for a feature or product.
• Determine the appropriate test equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers) for measuring a feature of a product according to existing verification plans, with minimal supervision from other engineers.
• Write design verification test cases using standard templates and test methodologies.
• Develop, review, and execute test plans and/or infrastructure for standard features or products.
• Assist in developing automated testing solutions and independently conduct automated testing on standard feature areas or products.
• Gather data for external testing supplier or partner selection options.
• Assist in setting up and breaking down testing environments with guidance and supervision from other engineers. Follow safety guidelines.
• Participate in the development of dashboards or reports for testing and quality metrics that can be utilized to characterize hardware and hardware performance.
• Analyze and interpret results of data and statistical analyses to identify common problems or flaws that may affect a feature or product design change and bring them to the attention of other engineers or team leads.
• Assist in the development of basic test fixtures for use in testing or validation of new product features under guidance from other engineers.

Technical Project Implementation

• Follow project implementation schedules to deliver the hardware engineering aspects of a well-defined feature or product. Escalate issues to management as necessary.
• Implement and track product plans, under guidance from other engineers.
• Highlight potential issues that may affect downstream execution of projects (e.g., performance vs. reliability and manufacturing concerns).
• Research new tools, technologies, or processes for project implementation and provide reports to project team members.
• Assist in implementing risk assessments (e.g., supplier or partner delays, incomplete specs, or tool issues) into project plans.
• Communicate project progress/status within the project team and escalate issues as necessary.

Reporting and Documentation

• Follow established procedures to participate in creating detailed reports and functional specifications for a well-defined product feature or extension, based on audits and information from product development and verification processes.
• Document essential details about materials, components, and/or assemblies for a device via accepted release processes. Accurately record and track changes to designs following established processes with some guidance from other engineers.
