**Responsibilities**

**Design**

· Displays deep knowledge in a specific engineering domain and acquires advanced knowledge of industry trends, competitors' products, the customer experience, and advances in various engineering fields. Shares knowledge with others on their team.

· Creates and executes on robust, scalable, secure, and extensible designs and/or verification plans for the electrical engineering aspects of moderately complex and well-defined products or features.

· Participates in creating intellectual property. May file patents within own area of scope and completing necessary patent documentation.

· Implements known solutions to moderately complex technical and/or design challenges that may involve multiple technical variables (e.g., heat reduction, size, performance) and provides guidance to other team members.

· Reads device specification sheets and interprets complex details required to design and test various hardware features.

· Develops design documentation which could include drawings, specifications, schematics, or diagrams for products or features with some general guidance and feedback from other engineers.

· Reviews supplier or partner technical sheets for available parts and chooses appropriate parts needed to support product development.

· Uses root cause analysis to identify complex problems or flaws that may affect a feature or product design change. Identifies possible solutions and brings them to the attention of other engineers or team leads.

**Design/Testing and Verification**

· Participates in simulation of a moderately complex components or subassemblies to ensure design is robust and to virtually test hardware features under different environments and/or conditions.

**Testing and Verficiation**

· Documents the appropriate test requirements and improvements to be included in relevant hardware designs by applying an understanding of how moderately complex features or products work under a variety of customer scenarios.

· Determines whether current test equipment is suitable for measuring features of new product technology based on newly created or modified verification plans.

· Writes design verification test cases using standard templates and test methodologies, or creating new templates.

· Develops, reviews, and executes test plans and/or infrastructure for moderately complex or small sized scope feature areas or products.

· Designs and develops automated testing solutions; independently conducts automated testing on moderately complex feature areas or products within a subsystem.

· Develops coverage and processes in the outsourced testing plans that defines the format of the content to be reported by the external testing supplier or partner.

· Sets up and breaks down testing environment for other engineers. Follows safety guidelines.

· Develops elements of dashboards or reports for testing and quality metrics based on hardware characterization and performance data.

· Uses data and statistical analyses to identify complex problems or flaws that may affect a feature or product design change. Identifies possible solutions and brings them to the attention of other engineers or team leads.

· Develops basic test fixtures for use in testing or validation of new product features with minimal guidance

**Technical Project Implementation**

· Coordinates a project implementation schedule to deliver the hardware engineering aspects of a moderately complex feature or product. Escalates issues to management as necessary.

· Implements and tracks product plans with minimal guidance in order to ensure plans account for the user experience, enable customer/partner testing scenarios, identify critical requirements (e.g., function, quality, safety, reparability, and/or reliability), and are verifiable.

· Identifies opportunities to affect downstream execution of projects by identifying issues and suggesting design tradeoffs within scope (e.g., performance vs. reliability and manufacturing concerns).

· Researches new tools, technologies, or processes for project implementation and provides recommendations to project team members as to which tool is appropriate.

· Recognizes trends to make recommendations to optimize existing processes, or creates new processes that can be used by own team.

· Identifies common project risks (e.g., supplier or partner delays, incomplete specs, or tool issues) at the outset of a project, and develops plans to address those risks.

· Communicates project progress/status within the project team and escalates issues as necessary.

**Reporting and Documentation**

· Follows established procedures to create detailed reports and functional specifications for a well-defined product or product feature, based on audits and information from product development and verification processes.

· Documents complex details about materials, components, and/or functionality for a device via accepted release processes and highlights potential compatibility issues. Accurately records and tracks changes to designs following established processes with minimal guidance.

**Other**

· Embody the Microsoft One culture and values .
