• Specify schematic for characterization hardware

• Embedded software Development on new microcontrollers

• Automatic test bench development (NI Labview and TestStand)

• Debug new products with design teams to identify root cause issues

• Analysis of measurement results, correlations with design simulations and writing of characterization reports for each IP

• Electrical performance specification of the analog blocks for the product datasheet

• Contribute to the overall improvement of methods, quality, and optimization of the validation processes (flow, tools, test infrastructure).

Requirements/Qualifications:

Required Qualifications:

• MSEE/MSCE from an accredited engineering school

• New graduate to 2–3 years of related work experience.
