The Allegro team is united by a clear purpose—advancing technologies that make the world safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. With over 30 years of experience in semiconductor innovation, we bring that purpose to life across every part of the business—from breakthrough product development and customer success to how we show up for each other and the communities we serve.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Senior or Principal Product Validation Engineer to join our Sensor Business Unit team in Manchester, NH. In this role, you will apply your comprehensive understanding of product validation to a wide range of tasks, contributing actively to interdisciplinary matters, especially those related to test and validation interfaces. You will be instrumental in solving complex technical challenges and driving the automated validation of our innovative semiconductor products.

What You Will Do

• Apply a complete understanding of product validation concepts and company procedures to resolve difficult issues and make recommendations.

• Solve high-complexity, unique problems, often requiring interdisciplinary expertise and system-level thinking (e.g., researching related products, processes, and qualification status).

• Mentor other engineers, sharing your expertise in problem-solving and technical approaches.

• Create and execute schedules for complex validation tasks and provide accurate estimates for execution.

• Develop and execute efficient automated control of bench equipment for the validation of Allegro ICs.

• Design and implement complex and optimized test code independently, developing new functions of diverse scope.

• Develop comprehensive evaluation plans for new or pathfinder products of high complexity.

• Contribute to the product definition, including Design for Test (DFT) and trim strategies.

• Possess a deep understanding of standard circuit blocks across a wide variety of Allegro product types and be able to understand new/innovative architectures, circuits, and algorithms.

• Complete advanced complexity tasks in creative and effective ways within aggressive timelines.

• Contribute to the development of new concepts and techniques in product validation.

• Work on assignments requiring considerable judgment and initiative, understanding the implications of your work on project timelines, cost, and impact on other Allegro functions.

• Propose recommendations for defining new standards, actively researching industry literature, and advancing technology and processes for the validation group and the company.

• Create standardized functions and libraries, demonstrating a high level of innovation applicable across the organization.

• Design evaluation plans for new or pathfinder products of high complexity.

• Challenge the status quo in product definition and routinely collaborate with Design Engineering (DE), Systems Engineering (SE), and other groups to drive innovative DFTs that span beyond a specific product or product line.

What You Will Need

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field with a minimum of 5 years of related experience; or a Master’s degree with a minimum of 3 years of related experience.

• Proven ability to resolve difficult technical issues and make sound recommendations with good judgment.

• Strong problem-solving skills for high-complexity, unique problems, demonstrating interdisciplinary expertise.

• Demonstrated ability to create schedules, provide estimates, and manage priorities effectively for complex tasks.

• Expertise in writing and implementing complex and optimized test code independently.

• Ability to participate in technical planning discussions and drive DFT creation.

• Deep understanding of circuit blocks and the ability to grasp new architectures and algorithms.

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, for collaborating with cross-functional teams.

• Demonstrated ability to complete advanced and complex tasks creatively and effectively.

• Proven experience in contributing to the development of new concepts and techniques.

• Exceptional judgment and initiative in managing assignments, with a clear understanding of project implications.

• Experience in proposing and defining new standards, researching industry trends, and advancing technology.

• Strong problem-solving skills for issues spanning multiple products or portfolios, with a track record of proposing innovative strategic roadmaps.
