Hardware System Verification Intern
Infineon · Xi’an
The Hardware System Verification Intern will support system-level hardware verification and testing, working closely with hardware engineers to validate the functionality, performance, and robustness of hardware systems.
The role is primarily hands-on and laboratory based. The intern will learn the system, execute tests, investigate unexpected behavior, collect and analyze measurement data, and support engineers in identifying and resolving hardware issues.
The ideal candidate is curious, hands-on, systematic, and eager to understand why things work or fail, rather than simply completing a predefined test checklist.
Your role
Key responsibilities in your new role
- Work closely with hardware engineers to perform system-level hardware verification and validation.
- Set up hardware, test boards, instruments, power supplies, loads, cables, and other equipment required for verification.
- Execute verification according to test plans and defined test conditions.
- Perform functional, electrical, interface, and system-level testing of hardware.
- Use laboratory equipment to measure and capture relevant electrical signals and system behavior.
- Record test conditions, measurement results, abnormalities, and observations in a structured way.
- Analyze test data and compare results against expected system performance or specifications.
- Support troubleshooting and root-cause investigation when abnormal behavior or test failures are observed.
- Repeat and modify test conditions to help isolate hardware, interface, configuration, or system-related issues.
- Work with engineers to continuously improve test methods, test coverage, and test efficiency.
- Prepare concise test reports, data summaries, plots, and technical documentation.
- Maintain a safe, organized, and disciplined working approach in the laboratory.
