Turn silicon into insight—lead end‑to‑end mixed‑signal ASIC characterization and drive the next generation of high‑performance chips.

Tasks

You take technical responsibility for the characterization of mixed-signal ASICs, covering analog circuits, digital logic and high-speed interfaces.
You plan and execute comprehensive characterization campaigns to validate performance across all relevant operating conditions.
You independently design, set up, perform and continuously optimize laboratory measurements to obtain accurate silicon data.
You analyze the relationships between circuit design, process technology and measurement results to gain insight into block behavior.
When measurement data diverges from simulation results, you carry out systematic debugging and root-cause analyses and develop suitable solutions.
You develop and document new measurement methods, standards and best practices, automate test and data-analysis workflows using Python, MATLAB or similar tools, and provide technical guidance to junior engineers.
