Job description

Responsibilities

MaxLinear is seeking a Staff Systems Validation Engineer to join our Analog Mixed‑Signal (AMS) group. The AMS team develops a diverse portfolio of integrated circuits spanning Interface (serial transceivers, bridges, isolators) and Power Management solutions. Our Power Management portfolio includes PMICs, point‑of‑load (PoL) converters, and power management controllers, designed to simplify system power architectures across a broad range of end markets. Our Interface portfolio includes RS‑485 and RS‑232 transceivers, USB‑to‑UART, USB‑to‑Ethernet, and PCIe‑to‑UART controllers, and Digital and Power Isolators, enabling robust, high‑reliability communication across industrial control, networking, and multi‑market applications.

In this role, you will be performing post‑silicon system validation of a variety of MXL ICs (Serial Communication / PMIC / POL / Bridge / Isolator) using modular, scalable & innovative test automation solutions and generate comprehensive validation reports. You will work closely with design, systems, applications, test, and product teams to deliver differentiated & production‑worthy solutions.

• Perform Post Silicon validation / characterization of MaxLinear ICs - Serial Communication (RS 485 / RS 232), Power (PoLs, PMICs) and Bridge (GPIO Expander, UART) products
• Perform ESD / EFT testing of MaxLinear Serial Communication ICs (RS485 & RS232)
• Build and develop the full IC / System validation & characterization plan across PVT conditions
• Build, manage & debug test setups, execute validation testing based on test plan and generate comprehensive validation reports
• Develop innovative test / validation / characterization automation strategies using Python and implement them to improve test time and efficiency
• Perform correlation between ATE and bench characterization results
• Design and develop bench validation boards / test boards, schematics and PCB layouts by implementing best practices such as impedance matching, high speed signal routing, signal grounding, ESD / EFT enhancements etc
• Perform system / IC debug on spec violations, setup related issues and drive the issue to closure independently after discussing with cross‑functional teams

Qualifications

• 8-10 years of post‑silicon validation experience with Serial Communication ICs / PMICs. ESD / EFT testing know‑how is desirable
• Bachelor’s / Master’s degree in electrical engineering or related field of study
• Strong basics in analog / digital circuits
• Expertise in Python based automated test development
• Strong experience in using Oscilloscope, Function Generators, Digital Multimeters, Electronic loads, power supplies, temperature chambers, dataloggers and other lab equipments etc
• Expert in using excel pivot/Data Analysis tools
• Good communication, documentation & presentation skills. Ability to work with cross‑functional teams spread across different geographies
• In‑office presence during all working days is required
