Responsibilities:
Lead the validation and characterization of analog and power domains for camera and laser sensor subsystems.
Perform detailed power consumption analysis across all system operating modes – active, standby, sleep, and transition states.
Characterize laser drive circuits – including drive current profiles, modulation behavior, thermal effects, and compliance voltage margins.
Validate protection circuits – over-current, over-voltage, under-voltage lockout (UVLO), thermal shutdown, and eye-safety interlock mechanisms
Verify power sequencing, ramp rates, and domain interdependencies across complex multi-rail systems.
Define and implement DFV strategies for table-top development boards, ensuring comprehensive observability and controllability of critical analog and power nodes.
Specify test point placement, measurement access, load emulation provisions, and fault injection capabilities at the board design stage.
Collaborate with hardware design teams to influence board architecture for optimal validation coverage.
Document DFV requirements and guidelines as part of the development platform specification.
Validate system behavior across all defined operating modes and transitions
Characterize power efficiency, conversion losses, and thermal performance of power delivery networks.
Perform parametric characterization – voltage accuracy, ripple, transient response, load regulation, and line regulation.
Execute corner-case and stress testing to identify margins and failure boundaries.
Support research and physics evaluation activities with custom measurement setups and data acquisition.
Provide analog/power expertise for experimental configurations and prototype evaluation.
Design and execute targeted characterization campaigns in support of new technology investigations.
Minimum Qualifications
BSc in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
7+ years of experience in analog/power validation, characterization, or hardware design verification.
Strong Python proficiency – automation, instrumentation control, data analysis, and visualization.
Proven experience designing validation strategies and DFV methodologies for development platforms.
Hands-on experience with power domain characterization in multi-sensor systems.
Demonstrated ability to work across the full validation cycle – from test plan definition through execution, analysis, and reporting.
Solid understanding of laser safety standards and protection circuit requirements.
Strong system-level vision – ability to understand the full power architecture and how analog domains interact within the broader camera and laser sensor system.
System-to-component depth – proven capability to conduct system-level power validation while diving to component-level characterization for root-cause analysis and margin assessment.
Deep knowledge of power management architectures – LDOs, DC-DC converters (buck, boost, buck-boost), charge pumps, and power switches
Hands-on experience with laser driver circuits – current sources, pulsed drive, modulation schemes, and safety mechanisms.
Proficiency with analog test instrumentation – oscilloscopes, power analyzers, source-measure units (SMUs), electronic loads, spectrum analyzers, and thermal imaging.
Experience with DFV/DFT methodologies for analog and mixed-signal systems.
Strong proficiency in Python for test automation, data acquisition, instrumentation control, and analysis.
Understanding of PCB design considerations for power integrity – layout, decoupling, grounding, and thermal management.
Preferred Qualifications
MSc in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related discipline – considered a significant advantage.
Experience with camera sensor power domains (AVDD, DVDD, IOVDD) and associated sequencing requireme המשרה מיועדת לנשים ולגברים כאחד.
