Bench AMS (Validation Engineer)

Job Title : Bench AMS (Validation Engineer)

Job Location : Dallas, TX(Onsite)

Duration : 12+ Months

Job description:

As a Senior Bench AMS Validation Engineer, you will lead pre- and post-silicon validation of analog and mixed-signal IP and SoCs in the lab. You will work with design, test and product teams to make sure silicon meets spec across process, voltage and temperature (PVT) before it goes to production.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and execute bench validation and characterization plans for AMS blocks (PLLs, ADCs/DACs, LDOs, DC-DC converters, references, SerDes and similar).
• Build and debug lab setups with oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, SMUs, signal generators, logic analyzers and evaluation boards.
• Automate measurements and data collection with Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB or similar tools.
• Run PVT characterization and analyze the data for margins, outliers, and spec compliance.
• Debug silicon failures and work with design, DFT and test teams to find root causes.
• Review schematics and bring-up boards, and help drive board and test-plan improvements.
• Correlate bench results with simulation and ATE data.
• Mentor junior engineers and give status updates to stakeholders.

What You Bring

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 4-8 years of hands-on AMS bench validation or characterization experience.
• Strong knowledge of analog and mixed-signal circuits and measurement techniques.
• Expert use of lab instruments and the ability to build setups independently.
• Scripting and automation skills (Python, LabVIEW or MATLAB).
• Experience with PVT characterization, data analysis and debugging.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work across teams.
• Nice to have: ATE exposure (Teradyne/Advantest), power management or high-speed IO experience.
