Senior Circuit Characterization Engineer

Responsibilities

• Own Silicon Circuit bringup from first power on through production to optimize performance, power, yield, and quality for the world’s fastest products across process, voltage, and temperature corners.
• Drive circuit characterization for critical on-die circuits including SRAM, PLL/DLL, clock distribution, voltage regulators, I/O interfaces, and on-die sensors — correlating measured silicon behavior with pre-silicon simulations to close the design loop.
• Design experiments, execute test plans, and build models that isolate circuit-level bottlenecks。
• Lead multi-functional root-cause closure across architecture, design, validation, software/firmware, power and thermal, reliability, ATE, product management, manufacturing, and operations, own fixes through confirmation.
• Analyze production-silicon data across PVT corners and binning populations to quantify guardbands, yield trade-offs, and circuit optimization opportunities that feed directly into product definition and future architecture decisions.
• Establish reusable automation, data analysis pipelines, and visualization tools that improve characterization coverage, execution efficiency, and debug velocity across simultaneous product.
• What we need to see
• BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of hands-on experience in post-silicon circuit characterization, silicon bring-up, or circuit validation on complex SoC or GPU products.
• Deep understanding of analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit behavior — including SRAM, PLL, clock networks, voltage regulators, I/O circuits, and on-die sensors.
