TL;DR · PMU Silicon Validation Engineer

PMU Silicon Validation Engineer joins the Silicon Technologies group to perform post-silicon bring-up, debug, and validation of analog and power ICs. This role involves defining test plans for custom ICs and driving execution from first-silicon through mass-production. Key responsibilities include defining custom board-level hardware for IC bringup, creating validation plans, and supporting product design teams with design integration and system-level debug. The position requires expertise in analog circuit and power supply designs, specifically focusing on voltage regulators and power distribution for high-speed digital ICs. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in complex test equipment setups for analog measurement and software automation using Python, LabVIEW, or TestStand. The work addresses the critical interaction between pre-silicon design and post-silicon validation to ensure high-quality hardware performance.

What you'll do

  • Perform post-silicon bring-up, debug, and validation of analog and power ICs.
  • Define test plans for custom ICs from first-silicon through mass-production.
  • Design custom board-level hardware for IC bring-up and testing.
  • Execute validation plans to ensure high-quality product performance.
  • Support product design teams with design integration and system-level issue debugging.
  • Analyze performance for analog circuits, voltage regulators, and power distribution.
  • Develop software automation for testing using tools like Python, LabVIEW, or TestStand.
  • Conduct hands-on lab work using complex test equipment for analog measurements.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree in a relevant field.
  • Minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience in analog circuit and power supply designs.
  • 3+ years of experience in silicon validation, testing automation, board-level hardware design, or IC design (preferred).
  • Strong bringup and debugging skills with hands-on lab work and complex test equipment setups for analog measurement (preferred).
  • Experience with debug and performance analysis of analog circuits, voltage regulators, and power distribution for high-speed digital ICs (preferred).
  • Strong software automation skills in Python, LabVIEW, or TestStand (preferred).
  • Experience mentoring and training junior validation engineers (preferred).
