Description

As an Intern HW Engineer for the Communication System Hardware team in Pavia, Italy, you will be joining a growing team responsible for the Hardware and Software algorithm needed for the characterization and validation of the physical layer of high-frequency SerDes systems, Optical modules, DSP-based communication systems and other key chips developed by the company.

You will be supporting the validation team in defining the testing architecture, supporting the HW EVB needs, validation plans, and the development team during the debug phase. Specific projects are available focusing on the following areas:

• Low-level control board drivers and implementation
• Perform validation of specific high-frequency analog blocks
• Design of validation boards companion PCB (control – power)
• Development of validation SW infrastructure components (Data Management/ GUI / Instruments automation)
• Design of high-frequency PCB

After an internship as a future Validation Engineer, you’ll be responsible for:

• Support design team in hardware and software debug
• Coding and set up of manual and automatic characterization routines
• Support in validation of hardware blocks (PLL, ADC, DAC…)
• Support design/simulation/and debugging of characterization/evaluation boards
