Over my three years at Freescale I have been exposed to a number of different engineering roles; including test development, prototyping & debugging and statistical analysis on characterisation data. As a 32-bit Automotive MCU Test Engineer I have been responsible for the development of ATE test solutions on several MCU peripheral modules across several MCU New Product Introduction projects (NPIs). This includes performing high-speed, high-coverage parametric & functional tests to ensure our products adhere to specification documented in each product’s datasheet.As well as developing the tests, a Product/Test engineer must perform statistical analysis on the data gathered to confirm our tests are capable across process, voltage and temperature variation.This role was originally a graduate position – meaning I was put through the extensive graduate training programme. This included several soft skills workshops, knowledge sharing sessions & a 3-month job rotation to Applications Engineering.
