Mindlance
This is the validation team supporting VR (wearables), validate design, quality, find/prevent bugs
Purpose:
EE/power engineer specialized in general power testing
Description Purpose: Hardware power validation engineer
Work Scope: 1. Perform Hardware validation on consumer electronics - VR Headsets 2. Generate power characterization test plans, data reporting and documentation, prototype bring-up and debugging 3. Perform system level PMIC validations (power ON/OFF sequence, load and line regulations/transients, charge/discharge profiles etc). 4. Engage with CM (Contract Manufacturing) on reviewing validation plans, analyzing test data and solving hardware issues. 5. Write automation scripts in Python if needed to reduce validation cycle time.
Required Qualification: 1. BS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent studies. Masters preferred. 2. 4+ years of experience in consumer electronics power validations and hardware debugging 3. Familiar with power lab equipment (Oscilloscope, power supply, eload, function generation, thermal chamber and DAQ system) 4. Experience with DC/DC regulators, battery power management, charge/discharge profiles and lithium-ion batteries. 5. Understanding of power trees, PDN analysis is needed. 6. 2+ years of experience in automation using Python 7. Familiar with ADB (having Shell script experience is a plus) 8. Self-motivated and detail oriented.
Top 3 must-have HARD skills: Software- writing automation scripts in python Working in power electronics Working in a lab (power supplies, function generators, etc) Battery emulators
Good to have skills:
NI DAQ (National Instrument DAQ) Power measurements -
power consumption in different use cases , write automation scripts, running the automation scripts using the NI DAQ
Typical Day in the Role: Generate power characterization test plans, data reporting and documentation, prototype bring-up and debugging Perform system level PMIC validations (power ON/OFF sequence, load and line regulations/transients, charge/discharge profiles etc). Engage with CM (Contract Manufacturing) on reviewing validation plans, analyzing test data and solving hardware issues.
How will performance be measured:
Meeting deadlines and delivering high quality work.
Must have 3+ years of experience on following: Software - Writing automation scripts in python Working in power electronics Working in a lab (power supplies, function generators, etc)
Good to have- NI DAQ (National Instrument DAQ) Power measurements - power consumption in different use cases , write automation scripts, running the automation scripts using the NI DAQ.
Interview Process: 2 rounds of interviews ( 1st with CWAM, then a coworker)
Must be able to display the below for the interview 1. Python automation scripting 2. Validation experience on buck, boost, LDO and battery charger IC
Location :
ONSITE in Sunnyvale (working hands-on with products in lab setting)
Quick Notes This is the validation team supporting VR (wearables), validate design, quality, find/prevent bugs. Python is a major area to know Also ADB ( how you communicate with a device) Other comparable titles: Power validation engineer, power automation engineer, power test engineer
