Analog Validation Engineer (1-2 Years)

Domain : Analog Validation Experience : 1-2 Years Basic Qualifications: Bachelor's/Master's Degree in EE Basic Job Qualifications: · Very strong understanding of analog circuit fundamentals · Solid experience in automated silicon validation · Hands-on experience with silicon validation and characterization setups, including scripting automation. · Good back ground in analog and mixed signal board design and layout · Strong and proven track record of LabVIEW based automation software development · Should be able to work independently to drive device debug and root cause analysis with minimal supervision · Well versed in statistical process control for data analysis and yield improvement · Very good hardware and test software troubleshooting skills · Good command over usage of test equipment like Oscilloscopes, Active Loads, thermal force equipment, Precision Power Supplies etc Primary responsibilities: · Validation of Analog IC · Demonstrate and drive technical innovation to improve performance and efficiency of validation solutions of the products under development · Define overall automated silicon bench validation / characterization plans and schedules; plan for validation to “break” the devices to determine where potential marginalities and issues could arise above/beyond the given specifications. · Comprehend system-level and customer-driven use cases in validation to meet and exceed product requirements · Drive validation reviews and work with design, systems, verification, test, applications and program management during new product development · Develop required hardware and system evaluation boards for first-pass success. · Develop software to automate the test cases to achieve best coverage at the highest efficiency. · Define long-term validation roadmap of capabilities, flows and methodologies to continuously improve productivity. · Test and troubleshoot devices in the lab to identify device performance issues. Work with design to identify root cause and proposed fix for each issue. · Work with FA lab for any customer returns during development and occasionally with customer quality · Ensure close tracking of validation to timely closure and documentation of validation plans and reports. · Identify risks from definition to ramp and be adaptable to support additional validation requests that arise during the debug and ramp-up phases without impacting on-going milestones. · Communicate with internal and external customers to align on validation activities, key system-level use cases, customer test procedures, etc.
