Work History

Senior Test and Automation Engineer

Tessolve Semiconductor
2017.10 - Current
  • Company Overview: Client: Analog Devices India
  • Project 1: ADMX3001 SMU
  • ADMX3001 is a source measure unit that can provide up to +/- 100V and +/- 1A. It utilizes the AD3552R, a low drift, high precision, 16-bit DAC to set the programmable inputs to the next-generation high-voltage, high-current precision op amp, which serves as the output driver of this supply. The complete solution incorporates the AD4630-24 precision ADC, working in conjunction with a firmware-based PID control loop. The ADMX3001 is a complete four-channel solution with seven current ranges from 1 µA to 1 A and three voltage ranges: 1V, 10V, and 100V.
  • Platform / Tools: Xilinx KC705 Board, Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA, Keithley 2450 SMU, Blackduck, Keysight 3458A DMM
  • Tasks/Roles:
  • Test plan creation for firmware functionality test.
  • Driver development in python for testing peripherals.
  • Developed test framework in Python(Pytest) for firmware regression testing.
  • Setup Jenkins jobs to run regression and to achieve CI/CD.
  • Manual testing of CLI based firmware using Oscilloscope and SMU.
  • Setup Jenkins job for Blcakduck scan.
  • Project 2: ADMX2001 LCR meter
  • Platform / Tools: ADMX2001 Hardware, Python 3.7, Pycharm
  • Wildcat is a measurement module that performs complex admittance and impedance measurements commonly performed with LCR handheld, benchtop and ATE measurements of inductor, capacitor and resistor components.
  • Tasks/Roles:
  • Developed test framework in Python(Pytest) for firmware regression testing.
  • Setup Jenkins jobs (using groovy scripting) to achieve CI/CD pipeline.
  • QA and release activities.
  • Project 3: ADMX1001 Signal Generator
  • Platform / Tools: ADMX1001 Hardware, Python 3.7, Pycharm, ADMX1001 GUI
  • The ADMX1002 module is an ultra-low distortion and low noise signal generator. It offers a frequency range up to 40 kHz. ADMX1002 can be used with digital pre distortion (DPD) algorithm of up to 20 kHz and has distortion performance up to 130dB typical at 1 kHz.
  • Tasks/Roles:
  • Developed test framework and testcases in Python(Pytest) for DLL testing.
  • Developed Pytest testcases for recurring and perpetual license testing.
  • Setup Jenkins jobs to achieve CI/CD pipeline.
  • GUI manual testing.
  • Automated GUI testing using Robot Framework and Python.
  • QA and release activities.
  • Project 4: ADAR690 77 GHz High Performance Automotive FMCW Radar
  • Platform / Tools: ADAR6901(MIPI) & ADAR6902 (LVDS) Devices, Python 3.7, LabView 2015, TestStand 2014, Pycharm
  • The ADAR6901/ADAR6902 are fully integrated 76 GHz to 81 GHz radar MMICs with integrated analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Each device contains four receive down converter channels, three transmit channels, an integrated all digital phase-locked loop with a ramp generator and an on-chip digital loop filter, four continuous time sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) ADCs and a microcontroller unit (MCU) for control and sequencing.
  • Tasks/Roles:
  • Component/Module/Unit and System Validation of firmware.
  • Developed test framework in Python for firmware regression testing.
  • Developed test framework to validate scheduler feature of firmware using Python and JSON.
  • Developed automation script in Python for R&S Spectrum Analyzer(FSW), Thermostream, Tektronix Oscilloscope and Power Supply.
  • Validated firmware using NI TestStand and LabView.
  • GUI manual validation and collected data analysis using MATLAB based post processing tool.
  • Tx power and Rx power measurement of Radar.
  • IF frequency measurement, Object Detection, Range estimation, Velocity Estimation using Radar.
  • Client: Analog Devices India
