Overview

Do you enjoy working in a creative fast-growing entrepreneurial environment? With indie you´ll never walk alone! We place high value on our teams and pursue excellence for our employees and customers!

indie is empowering the Autotech revolution with next generation automotive semiconductors and software platforms. We focus on edge sensors spanning multiple modalities including LiDAR, radar, ultrasound and vision for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), autonomous vehicles, connected car, user experience and electrification applications.

 

We are seeking a talented and motivated Design Validation and Test (DVT) Engineer to join our radar team at indie Semiconductor. In this role, you will be responsible for testing and characterizing mmWave radar IC designs, playing a critical part in developing the next generation of automotive radar solutions.

You will work alongside a multidisciplinary team of engineers, including IC design, system validation, application software, IC packaging, and PCB teams, contributing to innovative radar solutions in advanced CMOS technologies. This is a unique opportunity to develop cutting-edge RFICs in a dynamic and fast-growing startup environment, where your efforts will directly impact the success of the team and indie.

Responsibilities

  • Validate IC functionality in the lab to meet design and application requirements.
  • Collaborate with IC design and requirements teams to generate test plans and procedures.
  • Perform chip bring-up, design validation, and characterization across process and environmental conditions.
  • Define, develop, and automate test setups for bench and wafer probing, balancing accuracy, measurement time, and cost.
  • Develop and operate complex mmWave radar and antenna/on-wafer test setups.
  • Implement test scripts, automation, and report generation using Python.
  • Collect, process, and analyze test data for review with design and quality teams.
  • Participate in test board design reviews, bring-up, and testing.

Qualifications

  • MS degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 3+ years of hands on experience in a DVT role.
  • Solid understanding of basic and analog circuit concepts (e.g., transistors, Op Amps, ADCs, DACs, oscillators, DC-DC converters, clocks, Ethernet, PCIe, and SerDes).
  • Experience in post-silicon validation, silicon bring-up, and testing/debugging.
  • Proficiency in developing and implementing test scripts using Python.
  • Hands-on experience with high-speed and RF test equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers).
  • Expertise in performing RF measurements (e.g., noise figure, gain, power, matching, phase noise, linearity, spurs).
  • Radar characterization experience is a plus.
  • RF/standard board design experience is a plus.
  • Strong organizational and systematic working style.
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Fluency in English is required; German language skills are a plus.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Form CC-305

OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
