About the job
At TI, Validation Engineers leverage strong technical knowledge working hands-on to bring differentiated power solutions to our customers globally. Validation Engineers also partner closely with Design, Test, Systems and Application engineers to ensure our power solutions are both meeting customer and market requirements and are technically and cost-wise optimized. The validation engineer in MVB has to evaluate the system-level performance also for enterprise computing.
About the role and team:
- Develop validation board, schematics and layout, matching it with customer use-case & applications. The validation boards include - modularization of the Val board for generic flow, solving mixed-signal challenges, scalability of HW for a large number of setups and most importantly closeness to the customer EVMs.
- Build, design, and document the full validation plan. The validation plan needs a detailed understanding of not only the device but also the system environment.
- Define the Validation Strategy in terms of Hardware, Software and Instrumentation
- Building Validation test cases and implementing them on different scripting languages. (i.e. Python, Test stand, Labview etc.)
- Bring the device on the bench; Perform system level and parametric test on the bench with a strong break-the-part mentality.
- Work with design and Firmware team to support customer needs, and implement custom features in FW. Close collaboration with FW and application teams to understand the device issues and bugs and find the FW-level workaround for the fix.
- Debug device and setup-related issues and drive the issue to closure independently
- Engaging on customer issues and fixes with application engineers, to help them understand the device better, help to fix the issues and provide modifications if any tweaks are needed. This is done in collaboration with application engineers.
- Team leading skillset along with mentoring and guiding junior engineers in the team.
Minimum requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field of study
- 5+ years of relevant experience; 8+ preferred.
Preferred qualifications:
- Experience in validation engineering of analog products
- Demonstrates hardware debugging skills.
- Excellent time management; Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Experience in simulating and designing inverters and/or DCDC converters
- Knowledge of semiconductor power switches like MOSFET, IGBT, and SiC MOSFET
- Expertise in tools e.g. Simplis, Matlab, Altium, PSPICE, LabView, Python
- Schematic and PCB layout design in Altium.
- Physical layout management, signal grounding and routing tradeoffs, optimization
- Must budget time, manage schedule and complete complex design tasks on time
- Must have depth of experience and meticulous approach to ensure high-quality results
- Must account for limitations of system-level specifications, testability, and debug
- Must work well with colleagues and customers to foster a highly creative, interesting, productive, and fun working environment
