Test Validation Engineering

Aeva’s 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.

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 Aeva’s product lines.

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.
• Correlate ICT/FCT failures with schematic intent, layout, and silicon performance.
• 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.

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or equivalent experience

• 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
• Experience working with CMs worldwide
• Be part of an early start-up that's backed by industry-leading venture capitalists
• Very competitive compensation and meaningful equity!
• Medical, Dental, Vision, and more!
• Paid lunches, ping pong tournaments, and fun team off-sites!

Within the range, the successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, certifications, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions. Depending on the position offered, equity, bonus, and other forms of compensation may be provided as part of a total compensation package, in addition to comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, pre-tax commuter and health care/dependent care accounts, 401k plan, life and disability benefits, flexible time off, paid parental leave, and 11 paid holidays annually.
