Full Job Description
THE ROLE:

As a Silicon Design Engineer 2, you will work with cross-functional teams to bring up, characterize, and validate analog and mixed-signal power-management IP for advanced silicon products. You will develop scalable validation solutions, analyze silicon performance, and resolve complex issues across hardware, firmware, and RTL.

THE PERSON:

You are a detail-oriented systems engineer with strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills. You enjoy working at the intersection of silicon, firmware, and software and can independently drive complex technical issues to resolution. You communicate effectively and thrive in a collaborative, cross-functional engineering environment.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Lead post-silicon bring-up, characterization, and validation of analog and mixed-signal power-management IP.
  • Develop and execute characterization plans across voltage, frequency, temperature, and process conditions.
  • Analyze silicon data and optimize voltage-frequency curves, voltage margins, power-gating sequences, and other IP operating parameters.
  • Develop firmware routines, automation scripts, and data-analysis tools for validation and characterization.
  • Debug silicon issues by correlating lab measurements, firmware traces, RTL, and schematic information.
  • Collaborate with analog design, RTL, firmware, validation, and production teams to resolve technical findings.
  • Develop bench automation, data-collection pipelines, and validation methodologies.
  • Contribute post-silicon learnings to design-for-debug requirements for future products.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Experience with post-silicon bring-up, characterization, and validation of analog or mixed-signal power IP.
  • Understanding of voltage regulators, power-gating controllers, system-monitoring sensors, voltage-frequency curves, and power-distribution networks.
  • Experience using oscilloscopes, power analyzers, logic analyzers, thermal-control equipment, and other laboratory tools.
  • Firmware development experience using C or C++, along with scripting experience in Python, Bash, Perl, or Ruby.
  • Experience with board-level and platform-level debug, test automation, and characterization data analysis.
  • Ability to read and debug Verilog or SystemVerilog RTL and correlate firmware behavior with silicon measurements.
  • Familiarity with design-for-debug technologies such as JTAG, SPMI, scan, or related debug architectures.
  • Experience with data-analysis tools such as Python, pandas, NumPy, SQL, MATLAB, or equivalent.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to lead cross-functional technical investigations.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field is preferred.
