IC hardware Validation Developer (post silicon)

Projects: Low current and temperature sensing device with NFC and digital interfacing and/or system on chip around an ARM Cortex processor and machine learning engine with multiple interfaces and peripherals.

Key areas of responsibility

• The person will mainly be responsible for the IC (integrated circuit) validation test development and run in collaboration with a V&V Lead and validation team. In more details:
• Participate to definition, implementation, documentation and execution of test cases, according to the V&V plan with the proper quality, re-usability and maintainability.
• Implement & support automated validation regression suite and integration of validation test cases into it
• Support efficient validation results reporting
• Consult with other V&V-, Design- and Product- engineers.
• Support a structured project approach.
• Propose effort and planning for own developments in close cooperation with the V&V Lead.
• Execute the work according to the engineering process defined in the department and/or within the project.
• Report on the status of own developments.
• The validation teams are located in Leuven(BE) and Eindhoven(NL). The V&V developer will mainly work in Leuven, but might need to be present in Eindhoven on sporadic occasions
