Key Responsibilities
\n
- \n
- Develop, assemble, and maintain laboratory test setups for analog front-end ASIC characterization.
- Support first-silicon bring-up, electrical testing, and performance validation.
- Measure analog circuit performance, including noise floor, input-referred noise, CMRR, power consumption, and channel crosstalk.
- Work with oscilloscopes, signal generators, source-measure units, and other electronic test equipment.
- Develop and execute structured test plans and measurement protocols.
- Use Python or MATLAB for data analysis, visualization, and test automation.
- Support integration testing of ASICs with neural recording electrodes and electronic subsystems.
- Analyze test results, identify performance deviations, and assist with troubleshooting.
- Document experimental results and produce engineering characterization reports.
- Collaborate with senior ASIC and electrical engineering teams to improve test coverage and reliability.
