Silicon Systems Validation Engineer
Qorvo (a leading provider of innovative semiconductor solutions) seeks a seasoned Silicon Systems Validation Engineer to strengthen their Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) Semiconductor design and test validation team.
This role requires a critical thinker with experience in IC and system validation, able to work on loosely defined problems and create innovative solutions.
The ideal candidate will have a strong degree in a relevant engineering discipline and 5+ years of experience in IC and system validation, with a focus on wireless ICs, RF experience, and automated test equipment set-ups and scripting.
Key Responsibilities:
- Debug faulty products, root-cause analysis, and defect reporting
- Work with cross-functional teams on the application of UWB in customer products
- Partner with project management and engineering leadership to develop lab characterization plans for UWB ICs
- Design test solutions for characterization of UWB ICs
- Identify test-gaps and time-consuming tests and build solutions that are reliable and fast to improve time-to-market
- Design, build, and execute lab characterization tests using automated test software (Python based)
- Debug, analyze, and report on IC functionality and performance
- Analyze large datasets, write technical reports, and contribute measurement results to the product datasheet
- Work closely with IC designers and architects to improve product performance
- Drive data-review meetings for specification compliance
Key Requirements:
- Strong degree or equivalent in a relevant engineering discipline
- 5+ years' experience in IC and system validation
- Experience with evaluating/characterizing ICs, preferably wireless ICs
- Experience with C programming in Embedded microcontroller environments
- Experience with automated test equipment set-ups and scripting (Python, LabVIEW, etc.)
- Well-versed in the usage of lab equipment (oscilloscope, programmable power supplies, signal generators, spectrum analyzer, etc.)
- RF experience is highly desirable
- A systematic problem-solving approach and a strong desire to see the product succeed
- Ability to work in a fast-paced cross-functional team environment
- Ability to work on own initiative to come up with innovative solutions
