Silicon Validation

JOB REQUIREMENTS

Develop and implement functional, performance and system level/use-case validation of 8 and 32 bit microcontrollers

Experience with Microcontrollers, FPGAs, and in general, Embedded Systems. Familiar with embedded ARM Cortex M family, RISC-V, MIPS is preferred

Experience with communication busses (GPIB, RS-232, RS-485, SPI/QSPI, I2C, I2S, USB, EBI, Ethernet, etc.).

Experience with Embedded firmware development and should have strong hands-on knowledge of  embedded C programming language

Candidate will have the primary role of creating, auditing, and overseeing test procedures, validation plans,  data collection, post-processing of validation data, reports, and documenting results.

Candidate should be familiar with using lab equipment such as Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, Power Supplies, Arbitrary Waveform and Pulse generators, etc.

Fluent in use of PCB schematics and layout.

Develop performance tests for determining circuit margin and datasheet parameters.

Develop automated lab-based testing of microcontroller for both digital and analog modules at the unit level and at the full chip level and should be able to troubleshoot and resolve issues found during validation

Design or assist in the development of new testing infrastructure for use within the validation team

Drive design recommendations to improve the validation process, such as enhancements to test software and hardware environments, lab equipment usage, and data management.

Work with the validation team on customer support requests for released products.

Work in an international environment (Europe, Asia, USA) with diverse functional groups (Architecture, Analog/Digital Design, Applications, Marketing, Product and Test Engineering).

 

 

Requirements/Qualifications:
