Bench Digital & Mixed-Signal Validation Engineer

Bench Digital & Mixed-Signal Validation Engineer

Location: Coimbatore, Bengaluru, India
Work Mode: Onsite
Experience: 3- 10 Years

Role Overview

We are seeking a Bench Digital & Mixed-Signal Validation Engineer to support silicon validation, characterization, and board-level verification for semiconductor products. The role involves first silicon bring-up, bench validation, hardware debugging, interface validation, and laboratory automation using industry-standard test equipment. The engineer will work closely with Design, Product Engineering, Embedded Software, PCB Design, and Manufacturing teams throughout the product development lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities
Develop, integrate, and debug bench validation setups for Digital and Mixed-Signal semiconductor devices.
Perform first silicon bring-up, board bring-up, engineering validation, and silicon characterization.
Design and validate evaluation boards, interface boards, adapter boards, interposers, and custom validation fixtures.
Review schematics and PCB layouts while performing power sequencing and board-level debugging.
Validate communication interfaces including I C, SPI, UART, GPIO, USB, PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, SD/eMMC, MIPI, CAN, LIN, and JTAG.
Develop automated validation frameworks for instrument control, data acquisition, regression testing, and report generation.
Execute electrical validation, functional validation, stress testing, interoperability testing, and regression testing.
Analyze waveforms, timing diagrams, protocol transactions, and register-level behavior using laboratory instruments.
Debug hardware, firmware, software, silicon, and system-level issues through structured root cause analysis.
Develop validation procedures, test plans, characterization reports, and engineering documentation.
Support Engineering Validation (EV), New Product Introduction (NPI), Product Qualification, Reliability, and Customer Validation activities.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Design, Firmware, Embedded Software, Product Engineering, Manufacturing, and Customer Support.

Required Qualifications
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE), Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering (EIE), Instrumentation Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, VLSI Design, Microelectronics, Semiconductor Technology, or a related engineering discipline.
3 -10 years of experience in semiconductor bench validation, silicon characterization, laboratory validation, or product validation engineering.
Hands-on experience with semiconductor validation hardware and laboratory instrumentation.
Strong understanding of digital electronics, mixed-signal systems, board-level debugging, and validation methodologies.
