Engineer II - Analog Validation

Job Description

We are seeking an analog validation Engineer II for Microchip’s MCU division to support analog validation and characterization of new microcontrollers.

We are based in Nantes, France. You will be part of the Microcontroller Validation team and collaborate with members in Nantes, Chandler (Arizona), Bangalore (India) and other locations worldwide.

Responsibilities

• Participate in the development of new microcontrollers.
• Collaborate worldwide with analog design, integration, application and product engineering teams.
• Define validation plans for analog blocks to be characterized (ADC, DAC, PLL, OPAMP, etc.).
• Specify schematics for characterization hardware.
• Embedded software development on new microcontrollers.
• Automatic test bench development (NI Labview and TestStand).
• Debug new products with design teams to identify root cause issues.
• Analyze measurement results, correlate with design simulations and write characterization reports for each IP.
• Electrical performance specification of analog blocks for the product datasheet.
• Contribute to overall improvement of methods, quality, and optimization of validation processes (flow, tools, test infrastructure).

Required Qualifications

• MSEE/MSCE from an accredited engineering school.
• New graduate to 2–3 years of related work experience.
• Good knowledge of analog electronics.
• Some knowledge of analog IPs such as ADC, DAC, PLL, analog comparator, crystal oscillator, Opamp.
