About the role
NXP is a semiconductor company whose analog validation teams support devices in development for the Automotive, Industrial and Select Consumer Electronics industries. The work centers on bench characterization and design evaluation of analog IPs such as ADC, DAC, PLL, USB, VREG, OSC, DDR, low power and IO PADs, including associated test hardware and automation. This role develops characterization methodologies and automated test code, reviews schematics and PCB layouts for signal integrity, and works with marketing, systems, design, test and project management through new product launch.
What you will do
- Develop unique and sometimes complex bench characterization test methodologies for ADC, DAC, PLL, USB, VREG, OSC, DDR, LOW POWER and IO PADs in order to determine and verify the device’s functional and electrical performance across Manufacturing Process, Voltage, and Temperature combinations for the datasheet parameters.
- Develop and write automated code to control all test equipment during the collection and processing of characterization data which can run automatically to generate required PVT electrical parameters.
- Perform Design Evaluation and Bench Characterization for Analog IPs on devices still in development servicing the Automotive, Industrial and Select Consumer Electronics industries.
- Provide requirements, review schematics and PCB layout to develop circuit boards that maintain excellent Signal Integrity to enable design evaluation and characterization of ADC, DAC, PLL, USB, VREG, OSC, DDR, LOW POWER and IO PADs.
- Provide customer application note support by generating characterization data for customer scenarios.
- Participate with a team consisting of marketing, systems, design, test, and project management to support the successful launch of new products.
