Inertial Systems & Hardware Testing Engineer

Si-Ware Systems is seeking an Inertial Systems & Hardware Testing Engineer to join our team. This vital role involves the characterization and validation of inertial sensors, serving as a link between hardware design, embedded firmware development, and data analysis efforts.

Develop and maintain robust automated test plans, scripts, and proprietary device drivers for high-speed data acquisition, control, and performance characterization across diverse test setups (e.g., thermal chambers, rate tables).

Deeply review, trace, and debug C-based firmware to gain a complete understanding of sensor logic, internal state machines, calibration routines, and power management. Focus on validating the correct implementation of digital interfaces, like SPI and I2C communication protocols, and register configurations.

Utilize advanced laboratory equipment, including high-bandwidth Oscilloscopes, Logic/Protocol Analyzers, and Digital Multimeters (DMMs), to perform hardware diagnostics. Proactively troubleshoot and isolate root causes for signal integrity issues and communication protocol errors on Printed Circuit Boards.
Advanced Data Analysis & Reporting

Process, clean, and analyze datasets generated from testing runs.

Execute environmental stress tests. This includes controlled thermal sweeps and mechanical stress tests to accurately model and compensate for sensor behavior and performance stability across the full operational envelope.
Documentation & Collaboration

Create and maintain clear, high-quality technical documentation, including validation reports, test procedures, and bug reports. Collaborate closely with design, firmware, and production teams to drive issues to resolution.
