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 escalate 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
JTAG/SWD debug
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. xhqgsiq

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
