In order to be considered for an internship, you must be a student currently enrolled in school pursuing an accredited degree program. This position is specifically looking for someone who is enrolled in a Bachelor's, Master's, or doctoral program in Electrical Engineering or related field with emphasis on chip level circuit design.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering in progress, or related field with coursework on analog and digital circuit design.
• Solid understanding of semiconductor device physics.
• Proficient in scripting languages (e.g. Python, VB, Perl, C, bash).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong team player and ability to work well in a collaborative environment.
• Experience with Electrical lab equipment (e.g. oscilloscopes, power supplies, power meters, signal generators).
• Familiarity with CMOS Circuit design and test methodology preferred.
• Understanding of imager sensor architecture and product reliability requirements preferred.

This opportunity will ask a student to have the following performance objectives:

• Support validation planning, silicon bring-up, debug, and characterization of new and derivative image sensor products, including test chips targeted at circuit and process learning, reliability readiness, and manufacturability.
• Validate new circuit IP and sensor functions such as memories, OTPM, pumps, regulators, serial communication interfaces, safety mechanisms, and new DFT test modes.
• Develop and improve validation test methodologies, automation, and data analysis flows to detect issues early, reduce debug cycle time, and support robust product release decisions.
• Enhance the performance and usability of existing validation tools by improving scripts, automation, documentation, and reporting workflows.
• Support failure analysis, root-cause investigation, and cross-functional debug activities as key components of the validation engineering role.
