Hi weareecobee.

ecobee introduced the worlds first smart Wi-Fi thermostat to help millions of consumers save money conserve energy and bring home automation into their lives. That was just the beginning. We continue our pursuit to create technology that brings peace of mind into the home and allows people to focus on the moments that matter most. We take pride in making a meaningful difference to the environment all while being part of the exciting connected home revolution.

In 2021 ecobee became a subsidiary of Generac Power Systems. Generac introduced the first affordable backup generator and later created the category of automatic home standby generator. The company is committed to sustainable cleaner energy products poised to revolutionize the 21st century electrical grid. Together we take pride in making a meaningful difference to the environment.

Why we love to do whatwe do:

Were helping build the world of tomorrow with solutions that improve everyday life while making a positive impact onthe planet. Ourproducts and serviceswork in harmonytoprovide comfort efficiency and peace of mind for millions of homes and businesses. While were proud of what weve done so far theres still a lot we can doand you can be part of it.

As an Associate Verification Engineer you will be at the forefront of validating and delivering high-reliability products and test systems for next-generation hardware. This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys working across electrical mechanical RF and software domains. Youll own the full lifecycle in executing complex test systemsfrom concept and design to automation and complianceensuring our products meet the highest standards of performance reliability and regulatory readiness.

This role follows a hybrid schedule requiring four days per week in the office to support collaboration and flexibility to work remotely for the remainder of the week.

How youll make an impact:

Verification Testing

• Execute design verification tests on pre-production hardware using oscilloscopes power supplies e-loads thermal chambers and data loggers
• Modify hardware to facilitate verification testing to measure current consumption voltage ripple etc. under specific verification test cases
• Validate signal integrity and timing of communication protocols (I2C SPI UART SDIO) using oscilloscopes decoders logic analyzers
• Perform hardware verification testing under changing environmental test conditions by creating custom thermal test profiles
• Record results annotate screenshots summarize findings and create clear documentation for peer-reviewable reports
• Host meetings to summarize results escalate blockers and request support when needed
• Provide engineering judgement to conceptualize design and propose verification test cases

Test Development & Automation

• Document standardized test procedures to facilitate rapid testing and development

Hardware Development

• Modify and rework pre-production samples as needed to support verification testing by changing component values fly-wiring design corrections etc.
• Read and interpret datasheets understand component specifications compare and contrast results to verification tests
• Support evaluating and testing prototype circuits for new products
• With the help of senior engineers complete the schematic capture and layout for basic circuits
• Perform SMT assembly using stencils and reflow equipment for low component count and fine pitch circuit boards

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Design Firmware Manufacturing Test Fixtures) to expose design problems and determine root cause
• Author clear and concise requests or instruction sets for other teams to implement a specific set of requirements
• Create block diagrams and documentation that communicates verification test design implementation
• Track and communicate test progress risks and summarize key findings

What YoullBring to the Table:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Computer or related Engineering field
• 2 years of experience in hardware development and test automation
• Proficient in Altium for schematic capture and PCB layout
• Skilled in scripting with Python
• Familiar with embedded development in C and Linux environments
• Hands-on experience with lab instruments such as oscilloscopes power supplies e-loads signal generators thermal chambers
