Hi, we are ecobee.
ecobee introduced the world's first smart Wi-Fi thermostat to help millions of consumers save money, conserve energy, and bring home automation into their lives. That was just the beginning. We continue our pursuit to create technology that brings peace of mind into the home and allows people to focus on the moments that matter most. We take pride in making a meaningful difference to the environment, all while being part of the exciting, connected home revolution.
In 2021, ecobee became a subsidiary of Generac Power Systems. Generac introduced the first affordable backup generator and later created the category of automatic home standby generator. The company is committed to sustainable, cleaner energy products poised to revolutionize the 21st century electrical grid. Together, we take pride in making a meaningful difference to the environment.
Why we love to do what we do: We're helping build the world of tomorrow with solutions that improve everyday life while making a positive impact on the planet. Our products and services work in harmony to provide comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind for millions of homes and businesses. While we're proud of what we've done so far, there's still a lot we can do–and you can be part of it.
Join our extraordinary team.
We're a rapidly growing global tech company headquartered in Canada, in the heart of downtown Toronto, with an office in Leeds, UK, and remote ecopeeps in the US. We get to work with some of North America and UK's leading professionals. Our colleagues are proud to bring their authentic selves to work, confident that what we do is grounded in a greater purpose. We're always looking for curious, talented, and passionate people to join our team.
Who'll you be joining: Our Hardware Team is made up of engineers with a wide variety of specialties, skill sets,



backgrounds, and experiences ranging from HVAC control to RF design, digital logic, avionics, test fixtures, embedded software development, PCB layout and power electronics. They aim to bring their wide experience to the cross-functional squads that they are a part of, with a focus on collaboration, learning, development.
As an Associate Verification Engineer, you will be at the forefront of validating and delivering high-reliability products and test systems for next-generation hardware. This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys working across electrical, mechanical, RF, and software domains. You'll own the full lifecycle in executing complex test systems-from concept and design to automation and compliance-ensuring our products meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and regulatory readiness.
This role follows a hybrid schedule, requiring four days per week in the office to support collaboration, and flexibility to work remotely for the remainder of the week.
How you'll make an impact: Verification Testing Execute design verification tests on pre-production hardware using oscilloscopes, power supplies, e-loads, thermal chambers, and data loggers
Modify hardware to facilitate verification testing to measure current consumption, voltage ripple, etc. under specific verification test cases




Validate signal integrity and timing of communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, SDIO) using oscilloscopes, decoders, logic analyzers
Perform hardware verification testing under changing environmental test conditions by creating custom thermal test profiles
Record results, annotate screenshots, summarize findings, and create clear documentation for peer-reviewable reports
Host meetings to summarize results, elevate blockers, and request support when needed
Provide engineering judgement to conceptualize, design, and propose verification test cases
Test Development & Automation Document standardized test procedures to facilitate rapid testing and development
Interface several test instrumentation systems and setup acquisition equipment for overnight testing
Create Python scripts to interface with test equipment via SCPI commands, compile, align, analyze data, and generate plots
Develop basic Linux shell scripts to evaluate stress hardware and collect metrics for long-term tests
Import example application code for new hardware evaluation modules, modify C code to configure basic settings to ensure hardware is in specific operational modes
Hardware Development Modify and rework pre-production samples as needed to support verification testing by changing component values, fly-wiring design corrections, etc.
Read and interpret datasheets, understand component specifications, compare and contrast results to verification tests
Support evaluating and testing prototype circuits for recent products
With the help of senior engineers, complete the schematic capture and layout for basic circuits
Perform SMT assembly using stencils and reflow equipment for low component count and fine pitch circuit boards
Collaboration & Continuous Improvem
