## Description

The Dexterous AI Group is seeking a Senior Test Engineer to drive the characterization, qualification, and failure analysis of ADI's next-generation tactile sensing hardware for AI-powered dexterous manipulation. You will own the test and characterization workflows that take our tactile sensors from prototype through validation - working hands-on with microelectronic fabrication processes, electrical bench equipment, and failure analysis tools - while partnering closely with our multidisciplinary robotics team to ensure our sensors meet the demands of next-generation humanoid hands., * Design sensor characterization, testing, and qualification processes and plans for tactile sensors and devices.

 * Conduct thorough sensor characterization, perform data analysis, and report findings and recommendations to the team.
 * Conduct failure analysis (FA) on sensors and devices using techniques such as SEM, FIB, and EDS.
 * Drive the definition, writing, and completion of sensor specifications and datasheets.
 * Write programs in Python and LabVIEW to automate sensor characterization and test workflows.
 * Perform data analysis in Python to extract insights from characterization, qualification, and FA data.
 * Use basic CAD design and 3D printers and other tools to build test fixtures and prototype hardware.
 * Perform common electrical benchtop measurements (oscilloscope, SMU, DAQ, etc.) to support device bring-up, debug, and characterization.
 * Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, fabrication, and AI/robotics teams to translate sensor and system requirements into test plans, specs, and datasheets.
