About the Role
onsemi is seeking a highly skilled and motivated intern to join our Validation Engineering team. This role involves working cross-functionally with technology development, design, quality assurance, product engineering, test, and applications engineering. Validation Engineering is responsible for planning and executing product validation activities to confirm sensor performance, functionality, reliability readiness, and manufacturability.
Key Responsibilities
- 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.
Qualifications
- Student currently enrolled in school pursuing an accredited degree program.
- Enrolled in a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or doctoral program in Electrical Engineering or related field with an 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.
