AMS Validation Manager

What you'll do

• Lead and develop the San Diego AMS Silicon Validation team through recruitment, coaching, and technical mentoring.
• Perform hands-on silicon validation including bring-up, characterization, complex debug, and root-cause failure analysis.
• Manage multiple concurrent silicon programs by balancing technical execution, resource planning, schedules, and delivery risks.
• Partner with Design, Architecture, and Verification teams across multiple sites to deliver complex silicon programs.
• Establish cross-site execution models to distribute technical ownership and engineering capacity throughout the product lifecycle.
• Drive continuous improvement in validation methodologies, laboratory infrastructure, automation, and data analytics.
• Ensure high-quality technical execution from first silicon through production readiness for advanced mixed-signal IPs.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor or Master degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• 12+ years of experience in silicon validation, mixed-signal design, analog design, or related semiconductor engineering.
• 3+ years of technical leadership or engineering management experience leading validation or mixed-signal engineering teams.
• Hands-on experience in silicon bring-up, characterization, validation planning, complex debug, failure analysis, and validation of advanced mixed-signal or high-speed interface IPs.
• Proven ability to coach, mentor, and develop engineers while building high-performing technical teams.
• Experience validating advanced mixed-signal or high-speed interfaces such as SerDes, PCIe, UCIe, PLL, or Ethernet (preferred).
• Strong understanding of analog and mixed-signal circuit operation, high-speed measurements, signal integrity, and jitter analysis (preferred).
• Experience with validation automation, Python-based frameworks, AI-assisted validation, robotic test systems, and data analytics (preferred).
