ABOUT COREKINECT
CoreKinect is an innovative technology company specializing in the design, development, and manufacturing of connected IoT solutions.
Our team works across the full product lifecycle; from hardware and firmware development through validation, manufacturing, deployment, and ongoing support. At CoreKinect, reliability is non-negotiable, and validation plays a critical role in ensuring our products perform as intended before they reach our customers.
JOB DESCRIPTION
At CoreKinect we develop connected IoT devices where reliability is non-negotiable. As a Validation Engineer, you'll verify firmware before it reaches customers by designing tests plans, building automated validation tools, and investigating failures across embedded systems.
This role is hands-on. You will work directly with embedded firmware, test fixtures, bench instruments, and automated test infrastructure. If you prefer reports over lab-time, this is probably not the right fit.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
* Author and execute test cases against firmware validation plans, tracing coverage back to requirements
* Write test scripts and tooling to automate repetitive validation steps
* File defects with enough detail that firmware and hardware engineers can reproduce them without asking follow-up questions
* Maintain fixture and bench setups for RF and power validation
* Review test results, identify failure patterns, and elevate them with data
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
* BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent hands‑on experience
* 3+ years validating embedded hardware or firmware, ideally in a regulated or life‑safety context
* Comfortable using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and digital multimeters for hardware debugging
* Ability to read schematics and correlate measurements with expected hardware behavior
* Familiarity with common embedded communication buses: UART, SPI, I2C, USB
* Experience writing automation scripts in C#, Python or a similar language
* Comfortable working in a Linux environment from the command line
* Strong troubleshooting skills and the curiosity to investigate problems through to root cause
* Able to communicate technical findings clearly to engineers across disciplines
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
* Experience validating cellular modems
* GPS/GNSS validation
* LoRa or LoRaWAN protocol validation
* Battery and battery charging validation
* Experience with embedded RTOS environments
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
* Enjoy figuring out why something failed, not just that it failed.
* Like moving between schematics, firmware logs, test code, and bench equipment.
* Prefer building better automation over repeating manual tests.
* Take satisfaction in preventing customer issues before products ship.
* Want your work to have a visible impact on the quality of real hardware.
BENEFITS
* A small, technical team where your work is visible and your opinion carries weight
* Exposure to the full hardware development cycle, from first silicon to manufacturing handoff
* Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
