Job Description

Role:

The Validation Engineering group is seeking qualified engineers with expertise in Python automation and RF validation/testing. We are looking for Python Automation Engineers who have practical experience in RF/hardware testing and validation of RF/wireless products, specifically related to WLAN, Bluetooth (BT), BLE, and Zigbee standards. The selected candidate will participate in all stages of product validation, including FPGA pre-silicon testing, post-silicon IC package, module, and board-level evaluations. Responsibilities will include conducting both RF and wireless testing.

Meet the team:

The Validation Team serves as an essential interface between the Design team and product datasheet development. This group ensures that products satisfy all specified performance requirements. Upon successful validation, the team compiles the datasheet based on comprehensive characterization data. If the product does not meet requirements, the Validation Team collaborates with Designers to diagnose and resolve underlying issues. The team oversees the full operation of radio systems and associated domains within wireless MCUs, including analog and digital components, peripheral and core elements, RF and baseband signaling, power amplifiers, packet handlers, oscillators, random pattern generators, and various transmitter or receiver functions. Additionally, the Validation Team is responsible for enabling hardware support across all wireless solutions, such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, and proprietary protocols.
