Analog and Mixed Signal Bench Testing Engineer Contractor

Overview

This position involves bench testing the analog and mixed-signal portion of our IC products. The candidate will execute a bench verification test plan, write multiple Python scripts to communicate with the device-under-test (DUT), and control bench equipment such as power supplies, function generators, oscilloscopes, and a temperature chamber to monitor/record the DUT response. Our product contains many analog IPs such as LDOs, ADCs, DACs, amplifiers, PLL/oscillators, comparators, and more.

We are responsible for bench testing and characterizing the mentioned IPs against the specification.

• Develop Python test scripts to test/characterize the IC’s analog and mixed-signal IPs
• Build and maintain (debug) automated bench setups using Python to control equipment such as power supplies, function generators, oscilloscopes, etc.
• Execute tests (running automated tests) over multiple parts and across different voltages and temperatures
• Work with a team of engineers
• Analyze test data for anything out-of-spec or unusual behavior
• Identify bugs through bench testing

• Experience with Python programming for electronic equipment automation
• Strong knowledge of various analog and mixed-signal functions such as comparators, ADCs, DACs, low-pass filters, oscillators/PLLs, LDOs, amplifiers, etc.
• Experience with lab test equipment and bench testing
• Good technical knowledge of various mixed-signal IPs such as interrupts, GPIO, RESET, SPI, etc.
• Experience in semiconductor bench testing and verification is a plus
• Skills in data analysis and technical reporting
• Self-starter and team-oriented with a willingness to learn

• Type: Contract
• Location: Irvine, CA
• Duration: 6-12 months
• Pay Rate Range: $60-75/h (DOE)
