Test Engineering
  • Develop and debug automated test programs for analog power ICs on industry-standard ATE platforms
  • Design, build, and qualify load boards and test hardware to support device test requirements
  • Optimize test time and cost while maintaining quality and coverage requirements
  • Collaborate with design and validation engineers to translate device specifications into test algorithms
  • Support transfer of test programs and hardware to manufacturing test sites
  • Analyze test data to identify escapes, outliers, and opportunities for quality improvement

Validation Engineering
  • Develop and execute validation plans for analog power ICs across operating conditions including temperature, voltage, and load variations
  • Design and build bench test setups including hardware fixtures and software automation
  • Characterize device performance and identify deviations from specification
  • Identify, document, and drive resolution of silicon issues through structured debugging and root cause analysis
  • Collaborate with IC design engineers to validate functional correctness and resolve performance gaps
  • Develop scripts and tools to automate data collection, measurement, and analysis
  • Support product release by executing reliability and qualification testing per industry standards
