Senior Validation Engineer

Join a cutting-edge start-up revolutionising GNSS and IoT connectivity! We are a pioneering semiconductor scale-up transforming how devices connect, communicate, and operate through our groundbreaking Digital RF technology. Applications from outside of the EU will be considered depending on skills.

Our customer is looking for a Senior Validation Engineer to join our team and contribute to shaping the future of connectivity.

As a Senior Silicon Validation Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the functionality and performance of our System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions that integrate digital, analog, and RF components. This is a hands‑on role that requires expertise in debugging, analyzing, and characterizing SoCs through automated test setups.

• Collaborating with design, firmware, and software teams to define digital test requirements and validation plans
• Developing and executing comprehensive test plans to validate digital functionalities
• Managing SoC-level validation and bring‑up, from component‑level tests to full system operation
• Creating Python/C scripts to automate tests and collect measurements using digital test equipment
• Collecting, organizing, and analyzing data to verify performance across various conditions and samples
• Utilizing tools like Python for scripting and data handling to automate processes and enhance analysis
• Debugging and troubleshooting hardware, firmware, and digital interface issues, and collaborating with cross‑functional teams to implement solutions
• Documenting test procedures, validation results, and specifications for internal reference and compliance

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field
• Strong knowledge of digital circuits, including memory, MCU architecture, and digital interfaces, with experience in low‑power IoT systems
• Hands‑on experience with bus protocols (AHB, APB) and peripheral interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART)
• Working knowledge of FPGA systems for pre‑silicon debugging, particularly Zynq processors
• Proficiency in firmware debugging and real‑time troubleshooting using debugging tools and creating mini‑firmware to test hardware
• Experience with automated test setups and conducting concurrent lab tests on multiple products
• Hands‑on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, digital multimeters, signal generators, and programmable power supplies
• Proficiency in Python programming for automation and data analysis; familiarity with tools like Excel, database management, and version control software (e.g., Git)
• Knowledge of GNSS technologies for precise location‑based IoT applications
• Experience in Power, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) characterization and expertise in analog hardware testing
