What is special about working at Infineon?

Besides the fact that Infineon is a market leader in many areas, it is a company with a great culture and a friendly, supportive environment.

What are your main tasks?

Ensure that the device (SoC) meets its specifications by developing and executing the automated tests for the electronic subsystems of that chip and the software libraries associated with it. This includes pre-silicon and post-silicon validation, as well as optimizing existing test processes to achieve zero-defect quality and customer satisfaction.

What are the results of your work?

System on a chip, an example can be seen here. It is used for IoT, smart home, and industrial applications.

What are your job highlights?

An opportunity to be part of the process of SoC development and keep your hand on the pulse of modern technology solutions. That means collaboration with the best professionals from all over the world and the possibility to improve things and innovate.

What are your biggest challenges?

My job requires a lot of coordination among the teams to meet project deadlines and ensure the high quality of an SoC and associated software. A proactive, persistent mindset in the face of technical and communication challenges is thus crucial, especially when the schedule is tight. Another challenge is to think like a customer during work execution and ask yourself how the systems should be functioning and how they could be improved.

What inspires you?

Each SoC development is a long journey that starts with a list of requirements and takes many months of intense teamwork. Since this process involves communicating with lots of engineers from different areas including developers, silicon architects, and verification engineers, you are always in the thick of things and learn a lot. After that, seeing the finished fully functional chip as part of a device on the market, and knowing that you contributed to it, gives you an incredible uplift and desire to move forward.
