Texas Instruments Incorporated is seeking a Validation Engineer in Dallas, TX to help ensure our devices perform to datasheet specs and beyond. You will design PCB boards and develop automation software to increase coverage and speed up data collection in a post-silicon environment.
The role involves designing, developing, and implementing methods to measure device performance and troubleshoot related systems in a lab and software setting, ensuring quality and reliability across products.
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.
