TL;DR · Senior Technician, PMIC Product & Test Development Engineering

The Senior Technician, PMIC Product & Test Development Engineering joins the PMIC Product Development and Test Engineering group to support silicon validation, characterization, qualification, and high-volume manufacturing of integrated Power Management and Analog ICs. This hands-on role involves executing IC validation on bench and Automated Test Equipment platforms, performing electrical measurements, and processing data for design verification and new product introduction activities. The candidate will manage lab operations, debug hardware and software issues, and maintain test equipment to ensure measurement integrity. Required skills include proficiency in circuit analysis, reading electrical schematics, and using tools like oscilloscopes, power supplies, and spectrum analyzers. Technical competencies involve PMIC measurements such as load/line regulation and phase noise, alongside potential experience with Python or C# for automation, soldering, and troubleshooting mixed-signal or analog ASICs within a manufacturing environment.

What you'll do

  • Execute IC validation and characterization testing on bench and Automated Test Equipment (ATE) platforms.
  • Set up, maintain, and debug bench test systems, PCBs, and supporting lab hardware.
  • Perform electrical measurements and analyze data to document results clearly.
  • Support hardware and software debug including basic test scripts and measurement automation.
  • Calibrate and maintain bench test equipment to ensure measurement integrity and repeatability.
  • Support new product introduction (NPI) and qualification by correlating bench, ATE, and manufacturing environments.
  • Provide high-volume manufacturing support for yield excursions, test escapes, and customer return analysis.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree, or an Associate's degree with 1+ year of experience, or a High School Diploma with 2+ years of experience.
  • Strong understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals, including circuit analysis and hardware debug.
  • Ability to read and work from electrical schematics and mechanical drawings.
  • Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, and spectrum analyzers.
  • Working knowledge of PMIC and analog measurements like load/line regulation, PSRR, efficiency, and phase noise.
  • Familiarity with PCB bring-up, rework, troubleshooting, and soldering fine-pitch components.
  • Understanding of engineering statistics, data interpretation, and measurement automation using Python or C#.
  • Ability to physically transport and install equipment weighing at least 25 lbs.
