Job Summary

About us:

Aevas mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving to industrial robotics consumer electronics consumer health security and beyond. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions.

Role Overview:

We are looking for an experienced Board Validation and Test Engineer to join our test engineering team. This role you will drive board DFT design validation test platforms and high-volume ICT & FCT bring up for all Aevas product lines.

What youll be doing:

Drive PCBA testability (DFT) from schematic and functional reviews for high-volume manufacturing. Work with electrical design team to assess test point and boundary scan coverage and other DFT techniques into board designs to enhance test coverage and fault detection.
Develop test platforms for initial board bring up and low volume prototype and engineering validation builds. Write test methods and extract metrics using python programming for these test platforms.
Assess contract manufacturing capabilities and define the requirements for in-circuit test (ICT) and functional test (FCT) for high volume manufacturing.
Drive board yield fallout investigations by isolating intermittent marginal and low-yield failures using systematic debug methods including debug of power integrity clocks resets boot sequences and mixed-signal paths.
Correlate ICT/FCT failures with schematic intent layout and silicon performance.
Use advanced instrumentation (scopes logic analyzers current probes thermal tools) to capture elusive failures.
Create debug playbooks DFT guidelines and failure isolation documentation.
Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure on time delivery with optimum test coverage at lowest cost.
Document test strategies procedures and results for internal reference and compliance purposes.
Provide end-to-end support through entire product life cycle from NPI (New Product Introduction) to high volume manufacturing.

What youll have:

Bachelors degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or equivalent experience
7 years of hands-on experience in board bring up and validation
DFT experience and strong practical knowledge for ICT and FCT
Expert ability to read and critique schematics and PCB layouts
Deep understanding of analog digital power and mixed-signal systems and boundary scan (JTAG)
Proven track record of improving yield through DFT and failure analysis learnings
Hands-on experience in Python programming for test automation
Experience with data analysis using tools such as JMP and dashboards
Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues
Strong communication and teamwork skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
Experience working with CMs worldwide
Excellent verbal and written communication and presentation skills and capable of making clear conclusions and recommendations
