About

As a proud alumnus of the National Institute of Technology Calicut, where I earned a Master of Technology in Industrial Power and Automation, I am currently serving as an Analog Validation Engineer at NXP Semiconductors. In this role, I specialize in designing and automating validation platforms, as well as conducting in-depth design evaluations for Analog IPs, which are crucial for sectors such as Automotive, Industrial and Consumer Electronics. At NXP Semiconductors, my team and I focus on establishing rigorous requirements for silicon bring-up, Bench characterization, design evaluation of Analog IPs and ensuring optimal signal integrity in our circuit boards. My previous experience at Bosch Global Software Technologies refined my skills in system-level thinking, electronic system design, and diagnostics. This background has been instrumental in understanding and validating automotive microcontrollers (MCUs), ensuring they meet stringent safety standards before being deployed in customer applications at NXP.
