• Development software experience is a plus (such as C++, C#, .net, and Python)
• Work closely with Design Engineering, Test Engineering, and manufacturing teams to ensure product specifications are met.
• Analyze validation data, identify trends and patterns, and prepare reports detailing test results.
• Work with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot and debug problems that arise during validation.
• Provide technical support to manufacturing and customer service teams to address product issues.

Requirements

• BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering or related field or equivalent experience
• 3+ years of experience testing integrated circuits
• Experience with National Instruments suite of tools (such as LabVIEW, TestStand, and PXI) for developing and implementing automated test solutions is a definite plus.
• Knowledge of test methodologies and familiarity with automated bench test equipment such as oscilloscopes, digital sources and receivers, waveform generators, and audio

analyzers.

• Software development and debug skills.
• Familiarity with PCB schematic entry and layout tools such as Allegro, OrCad, or Altium
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot complex problems.
• Excellent documentation, communication, and interpersonal skills to collaborate with crossfunctional teams.
• Ability to define and execute to a plan.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks and priorities simultaneously.
