Roles & Responsibilities:
- Responsible for the power consumption characterization and analysis of highly complex consumer electronic devices for various product use-cases
- Automating laboratory measurements with scopes/meters
- Very good python skills for test setup automation using PyVISA and SCPI instrument commands
- Generate power characterization test plans, power data reporting and documentation, prototype bring-up and debugging
- Characterize power consumption, battery runtime, battery charging/discharging curve at each build and identify optimization opportunities
- Root-cause and solve technical issues during new product development and in field escalations and power-regressions
- Perform system level electrical characterization and PMIC validations.
- Engage with CM (Contract Manufacturing) on reviewing validation plans, analyzing test data and solving hardware issues.
Required Skills (Technical Competency):
- BS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
- 3+ years of experience in consumer electronics power validations and hardware debugging
- Experience with power test equipment, EE lab equipment (i.e. Oscilloscope, DVM, etc.), methodologies for testing
- Experience with DC/DC regulators, battery power management and lithium-ion batteries, lab test equipment, automating laboratory measurements with scopes/meters, and very good python skills for test setup automation using PyVISA and SCPI instrument commands
Desired Skills:
- Experience with Python programming and LabVIEW and automated test system design for hardware validations is highly preferred.
- Experience with power/thermal performance and cost optimizations, battery pack and cell technologies
- Experience with low power management and PMIC design
