Taipei/Taoyuan/Hsinchu, Taiwan

Summary

Alarm.com is seeking a highly motivated and technically skilled System Design Validation Engineer to join our design quality assurance team. This role is responsible for end-to-end system-level validation of camera-related products, including video doorbells, battery-powered doorbells, indoor cameras, outdoor security cameras, and battery-powered outdoor cameras, from early-stage NPI through mass production. The ideal candidate bridges the gap between engineering and design quality, ensuring that products meet video image quality, audio performance, functional, reliability, and system-level requirements before reaching mass production.

Duties to be Performed

System Validation Engineering

- Serve as the technical subject matter expert for system-level validation across mainly camera product lines, including video doorbells, battery-powered doorbells, indoor cameras, outdoor security cameras, and battery-powered outdoor cameras.

- Partner with Mechanical Engineering (ME), Electrical Engineering (EE), Optics, Acoustic, RF, and Product Management (PM) teams during early development to define validation strategies and test coverage with particular emphasis on video image quality and audio performance validation.

- Develop and maintain system validation plans, test specifications, acceptance criteria, and validation reports for EVT, DVT, and PVT milestones, including dedicated video and audio quality benchmarks and pass/fail criteria.

- Lead and execute environmental and mechanical reliability validation from sample run to pilot run stages, including second source reliability evaluation and qualification.

- Evaluate and approve engineering changes affecting system-level performance and reliability, including changes that may impact camera image quality, video streaming, microphone sensitivity, and speaker output. .

- Drive component and system qualification activities including functional testing, environmental testing, video image quality validation (e.g., resolution, low-light performance, WDR, color accuracy, latency), audio performance validation (e.g., microphone sensitivity, SNR, echo cancellation, speaker frequency response), and wireless connectivity testing.

- Maintain standardized test documentation, issue tracking processes, and validation records across all managed product lines.

Product Test Engineering

- Support the design, development, and deployment of automated production test programs for wireless functionality including WiFi, BT/BLE, LoRa, cellular, image quality screening, and audio/video performance verification.

- Support On-going Reliability Test (ORT) on the implementation of automated video quality test routines covering resolution, frame rate, exposure, white balance, and streaming stability, as well as automated audio test routines covering frequency response, SNR, THD, and two-way talk performance.
