TL;DR · Analog Mixed-Signal Validation System Lead

As the Analog Mixed-Signal Validation System Lead, you will head the development and execution of validation infrastructure for AMS IPs by leading hardware and software teams. You will be responsible for designing, deploying, and managing modular hardware and software test systems, while developing standardized validation frameworks and interfaces to improve automation and data pipelines across labs. Your daily work involves architecting data management structures, creating visualization tools, and implementing data analytics frameworks to identify key performance indicators. The role requires expertise in Python, C/C++, MATLAB, LabVIEW, JMP, Jupyter, Pandas, and Tableau. You will also utilize lab equipment like oscilloscopes and signal analyzers. This position addresses the technical challenge of transitioning pre-silicon verification flows to post-silicon while ensuring seamless integration for AMS IPs from on-chip components to full system levels.

What you'll do

  • Lead the design, deployment, and management of hardware and software test systems for AMS IP validation.
  • Develop standardized validation frameworks and modular interfaces to improve testing efficiency.
  • Architect and maintain data management structures for automated analysis and extraction.
  • Create custom visualization tools to facilitate effective data exploration for the IP validation team.
  • Launch data analytics frameworks and identify key performance indicators in collaboration with design teams.
  • Implement software interfaces to transition pre-silicon verification flows into post-silicon production.
  • Identify opportunities for modularization and standardization across the entire validation pipeline.

What we're looking for

  • Master's degree or equivalent in EE/CS is required.
  • PhD is preferred.
  • 8+ years of industry experience is required.
  • 8+ years of experience leading and developing validation hardware and software systems for AMS or SOC IPs is preferred.
  • Strong programming and scripting skills in languages such as Python, C/C++, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or JMP are preferred.
  • Knowledge of data processing, visualization, and analysis tools like Jupyter, Pandas, and Tableau is preferred.
  • Knowledge of semiconductor technologies, IC design architectures, and EDA tools is preferred.
  • Understanding of machine learning techniques for validation data analytics is a plus.
