Hands-on experience with laser driver circuits — current sources, pulsed drive, modulation schemes, and safety mechanisms
Proficiency with analog test instrumentation — oscilloscopes, power analyzers, source-measure units (SMUs), electronic loads, spectrum analyzers, and thermal imaging
Experience with DFV/DFT methodologies for analog and mixed-signal systems
Strong proficiency in Python for test automation, data acquisition, instrumentation control, and analysis
Understanding of PCB design considerations for power integrity — layout, decoupling, grounding, and thermal management
<h3>Preferred Qualifications</h3>MSc in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related discipline — considered a significant advantage
Experience with camera sensor power domains (AVDD, DVDD, IOVDD) and associated sequencing requirements
Familiarity with VCSEL or edge-emitting laser driver characterization
Experience with thermal characterization and power derating analysis
Background in EMC/EMI considerations for analog and power circuits
