Automotive Sensor IC Validation Engineer

Allegro MicroSystems; Buenos Aires; Presencial; ARS 106.678.000 - 152.397.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Allegro MicroSystems seeks an enthusiastic Product Validation Engineer (PVE) in its Sensors unit to evaluate first-silicon performance and validate it against datasheets. You will design bench test setups and automate data collection across temperature and voltage corners (-40°C to 150°C).

In this early-career role, you will work closely with senior validation leads, Analog Design, Systems Engineering, and Test Engineering to ensure automotive-grade quality for magnetic and power sensor ICs,

Formación

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 1–3 years of hands-on semiconductor lab evaluation, characterization, or academic/internship validation experience.
• Proficiency using bench test equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, SMUs, arbitrary waveform generators, DMMs).
• Experience with test automation languages (Python preferred, LabVIEW, MATLAB, or C/C++).
• Solid foundational understanding of analog mixed-signal circuits (op-amps, bandgaps, regulators, ADCs, sensor front-ends).
• Familiarity with standard communication protocols (I2C, SPI, SENT, or CAN).
• Basic knowledge of statistical data analysis (histograms, standard deviation, CPK, corner analysis).
• Strong analytical problem solver, clear communicator, and proactive collaborator eager to learn in a structured, cross-functional team.

Responsabilidades

• Develop, debug, and execute automated bench test setups and scripts (e.g., using Python, LabVIEW, or MATLAB) to validate silicon functionality across supply, voltage, and temperature corners (-40°C to 150°C).
• Execute the Silicon Validation Plan, characterizing critical analog and mixed-signal performance parameters (such as noise, offset, linearity, sensitivity, and ADC/DAC behavior) against requirements.
• Support the creation and execution of the validation timeline, assisting in the definition, layout review, and assembly of custom bench evaluation hardware and socketed test boards.
• Perform Bench-to-System and bench-to-ATE correlation studies with Test Engineering to establish robust test limits and verify register/EEPROM trimming behavior.
• Identify, document, and track silicon anomalies and bugs using issue-tracking platforms, participating in root-cause debug sessions alongside Analog and Digital Design Leads.
• Compile and summarize characterization data, contributing to executive summaries and updating core parameter presentations to support project milestone phase gates.
