Texas Instruments is seeking validation engineers to ensure our devices meet datasheet specs and VVCM requirements.

You will design PCB boards, develop automation software to improve coverage and speed data collection, and create measurement methods to troubleshoot systems.

This role often operates in a post-silicon lab or in software environments used to run measurements.

Responsibilities

• Design PCB boards for validation tests.
• Develop automation software to increase coverage and reduce data collection time.
• Design, develop and implement methods to measure device performance and troubleshoot related systems.
• Work in a post-silicon lab or with software programs required to run measurements.

Job description

Change the world. Love your job.

Validation engineers are said to have a 'break-the-part' mentality. This means they spend some of their time working to identify the use-cases in which the device will stop working as intended and understand the impact and cause of those failures. Sometimes, those are acceptable failures, but others we may need to mitigate for quality, safety, or other reasons. Plus, we want to ensure that our parts are consistently performing to the specifications that we set in our data sheet, and even to some more conservative limits or as defined in the VVCM (validation/verification compliance matrix). To do this, they must design PCB boards and develop automation software that will increase coverage and reduce data collection time. Validation engineers will also design, develop, and implement necessary methods of measuring device performance and troubleshooting any related systems, equipment or device issues that arise. Validation engineers are often working in a post-silicon lab or on the software programs required to run their measurements.
