Job description

Introduction

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

Tasks

• You will be technically responsible for the characterization of mixed‑signal ASICs, covering analog circuits, digital logic, and high‑speed interfaces.


• You plan and execute comprehensive characterization campaigns that validate performance across all operating corners.


• You independently design, set up, perform, and continuously optimise laboratory measurements to obtain accurate silicon data.


• You analyze the complex relationships among circuit design, process technology, and measured results to drive insight into block behavior.


• When measured data diverge from simulation, you conduct systematic debugging and root‑cause analysis to identify and resolve the underlying issues.


• You develop, document, and institutionalize new measurement methodologies, standards, and best‑practice guidelines for the organization.


• You automate test execution and data‑analysis workflows using Python, MATLAB, and related tooling.


• You collaborate closely with the stakeholders und provide technical leadership and coaching to junior engineers
