As a Staff Validation Engineer on our Mixed-Signal IC Validation team, you will help bring next-generation audio products from pre-silicon emulation through post-silicon validation. You’ll work on highly integrated, platform-level devices designed to deliver high-performance audio with exceptional power efficiency.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead validation of analog and digital products across pre-silicon platforms and post-silicon lab environments, ensuring functionality and performance meet datasheet and system requirements.
Develop Python-based automation frameworks and regression suites to improve validation efficiency, repeatability, and coverage.
Apply AI-enabled tools and techniques to streamline validation workstreams, accelerate test-data analysis and failure triage, and identify opportunities to improve automation efficiency, while validating outputs with sound engineering judgment and following applicable data-handling requirements.
Partner with IC Design, Systems, Applications, and Firmware engineers to translate product requirements and use cases into effective validation plans.
Lead root-cause analysis of silicon, board-level, and validation software or hardware issues.
Analyze validation data, identify failures and defects, and communicate actionable findings using tools such as Spotfire.
Provide technical leadership through improved validation methodologies, mentoring, and clear communication of project risks and results
Required Skills:
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 7+ years of relevant experience; or a Master’s degree in one of these fields with 5+ years of relevant experience.
Demonstrated experience applying electrical engineering principles to analog, digital, power electronics, and/or audio systems.
