Staff Design Evaluation Engineer

About the role

Analog Devices is hiring a Staff Design Evaluation Engineer for its Post-Silicon Engineering organization, within the Digital Business Unit. You will run bench evaluation (validation) for new SoC products, working with Design, Product Test Engineering and Applications teams from first-silicon bring-up through full validation across PVT corners.

Key responsibilities

• Design and develop bench hardware and software solutions for complex digital and mixed-signal SoCs.
• Drive the post-silicon evaluation lifecycle: hardware and silicon bring-up, functional validation, debug and PVT characterization.
• Develop, execute and automate test scripts for validation, debug and characterization.
• Contribute early to DFT definition and development with Design teams.
• Collaborate with Product and Test Engineering to define and run a Silicon Characterization and Measurement plan.
• Partner with Applications teams on system-level use cases for bench validation.
• Correlate bench results with production test data to support product ramp and release.

Required profile

• B.Tech/M.Tech in Electronics or Electrical Engineering.
• 4-8 years of hands-on experience in high-speed digital validation and firmware development of MCUs (ARM Cortex), DSPs and NPUs.
• Experience characterizing precision analogue IPs such as ADCs, DACs and voltage references.
• Experience running system-level performance benchmarks for power and speed.
• Proven ability to work with Design, Product Engineering and Test Engineering teams.

Required skills

• Firmware development for MCUs, DSPs and NPUs; electrical compliance characterization of DDR3, PCIe, CSI, USB and HDMI.
• Working knowledge of I2C, SPI, USB and other serial protocols.
• Embedded toolchains such as IAR and Keil.
• Programming in Python, C, C# and VHDL/Verilog for automation and validation.
• Bench instruments: oscilloscopes, Audio Precision systems, signal generators and analyzers.
