Within the MEMS design team, my role was to develop the toolsets to properly validate the MEMS transducer versus design expectations. This involved:- design, implement, validate and transfer a characterization technique to quantify susceptibility to an electrostatic failure mode- standardize testing precedures to quantify parametric performance degradation after thermal treatment - pilot a collaboration with a university lab to study the fundamental physics behind performance variation over time- lead validation of a microphone project: validation planning, execution and reporting
