Responsibilities
Develop and execute system-level validation plans derived from typical customer use cases and cross functional teams’ requirements.
Develop embedded firmware (C/Assembly) to enable validation scenarios using HAL/driver layers
Build automation frameworks in Python to control lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, SMUs, spectrum analyzers, and AWGs
Validate and characterize analog, digital, and mixed-signal subsystems on silicon
Debug system-level issues and collaborate with design, firmware, and applications teams
Analyze results, identify failure modes, and drive root cause analysis
Document validation results and contribute to product quality and release readiness
Drive or participate in cross functional technical reviews
Infrastructure development for our automated silicon characterization platform which consists of hardware, device/instruments drivers, software toolchains, frameworks, libraries and databases
Implement and develop work processes to scale efficiently and ensure high product quality
Close cooperation with existing IoT MCU Validation teams in other locations, with IC design engineers and SW/FW developers
Lead validation projects in an inter site, cross functional team environment.
Mentor new team members
