Lead RF & Mixed-Signal Validation Engineer

ams-OSRAM AG; Lombardia; On-site; EUR 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

ams OSRAM seeks a senior validation engineer to lead bring-up and validation of RF, HF, analog, mixed-signal, and high-speed digital ICs. You will develop validation plans, characterize devices across PVT, and drive root-cause analysis of silicon issues.

Responsibilities include establishing measurement methodologies, correlating simulations with silicon data, and analyzing system-level performance such as jitter, BER, noise, and power.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related discipline
• 8+ years of experience in semiconductor validation, characterization, test, or product engineering
• Proven track record supporting successful IC developments from first silicon through production
• Broadband optical communication systems and IC validation, including high-speed optical links, SerDes-based interfaces, and mixed-signal subsystems
• RF, HF, analog, mixed-signal, and high-speed digital characterization methodologies
• Laboratory instrumentation including high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, vector network analyzers (VNAs), spectrum analyzers, BER testers, signal generators, and automated test equipment
• Silicon bring-up, characterization, debugging, and correlation of measured and simulated performance

Responsibilities

• Lead bring-up and validation of RF, HF, analog, mixed-signal, and high-speed digital ICs
• Develop and execute validation plans to verify compliance with product specifications
• Characterize device performance across process, voltage, and temperature conditions
• Drive root-cause analysis and resolution of silicon issues
• Define validation methodologies, measurement strategies, and best practices
• Establish correlation between simulations, models, and silicon measurements
• Analyze system-level performance including signal integrity, jitter, BER, noise, power consumption, and reliability
• Collaborate with architecture, design, verification, layout, packaging, product engineering, and manufacturing teams
• Support customer evaluations, qualification activities, and technical presentations
• Mentor junior validation and test engineers
