## 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 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.

## Qualifications

### Minimum requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related Engineering degree
- 4+ years of experience Experience in validation of power converters Experience with LabView, Python, and Teststand Preferred qualifications: Experience in creating validation plans and pcb schematic capture Experience with Spotfire use for data analysis
