Senior — typically 5–8 years of relevant experience in pre- and post-silicon validation, characterization, or related engineering roles.

Responsibilities

Execute validation and characterization tasks from block to system level and support debug and product readiness.

• Contribute to silicon bring-up, validation, and debug at block and system levels.
• Execute validation plans and help define test coverage.
• Perform characterization measurements and evaluate silicon performance.
• Debug silicon issues and drive root-cause analysis with cross-functional teams.
• Validate system functionality with embedded software teams and correlate simulation with silicon behavior.
• Document validation results and produce engineering reports.
• Support resolution of silicon issues impacting product readiness.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for immediate contribution; preferred items listed where applicable.

• Must-have: Practical experience in pre- and post-silicon validation and characterization of mixed-signal ICs.
• Must-have: Hands-on use of lab equipment (oscilloscopes, signal generators, power supplies, logic analyzers).
• Must-have: Experience validating analog and mixed-signal blocks (ADC/DAC, amplifiers, Buck regulators, LDOs).
• Must-have: Working knowledge of embedded systems programming to validate system-level functionality.
• Must-have: Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills across hardware and mixed-signal systems.
• Must-have: Clear written and verbal communication skills for documentation and cross-team collaboration.
• Preferred: Prior experience in consumer audio silicon or similar product domains.
• Willingness to travel approximately 10% of the time.
• May require export-licensing review for certain applicants; eligibility constraints can apply.
