Motor-drive IC validation — Santa Clara, CA.

CompletedInternshipmotor drivegate drivervalidationlab automation

Bench-validation of motor-drive ICs across operating conditions.

  • Built test rigs to sweep supply, temperature, and load
  • Characterized propagation delay, dead-time, and shoot-through margin on prototype silicon
  • Authored validation reports used in product-release reviews
Summary

Validation engineering work in STMicro's motor-drive IC group. Bench-characterized motor-drive silicon across supply, temperature, and load conditions, and authored validation reports feeding product-release reviews.

What I took away

Pre-silicon assumptions break in lab. The discipline of designing a test to falsify a datasheet number — not confirm it — is the discipline I bring to every hardware bring-up now.
