Validation/Characterization Engineer | MPP

Texas Instruments, Knoxville, TN, United States


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 consistently perform to the specifications 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 increases coverage and reduces data collection time. Validation engineers will also design, develop, and implement necessary methods of measuring device performance and troubleshoot any related systems, equipment or device issues that arise. Validation engineers often work in a post‑silicon lab or on the software programs required to run their measurements.
