Engineer II - Analog Validation

Analog Validation Engineer II

We are seeking an Analog Validation Engineer II for Microchip’s MCU division to support analog validation and characterization of new microcontrollers. The position is based in Nantes, France.

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.
• Develop embedded software for new microcontrollers.
• Develop automatic test benches using NI LabVIEW and TestStand.
• Debug new products with design teams to identify root‑cause issues.
• Analyze measurement results, correlate them with design simulations, and write characterization reports for each IP.
• Specify electrical performance of analog blocks for the product datasheet.
• Contribute to the overall improvement of validation methods, quality, and optimization of processes, tools, and test infrastructure.

Qualifications

• Required: MSEE/MSCE from an accredited engineering school.
• 1–3 years of related work experience (new graduate to 2–3 years).
• Good knowledge of analog electronics.
• Some knowledge of analogue IPs such as ADC, DAC, PLL, analog comparator, crystal oscillator, Opamp, etc.
