Senior Staff Lab Validation Engineer (d/m/f)

Ams Osram; Pavia; In loco; EUR 90.000 - 130.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

ams OSRAM's LSP unit seeks a senior validation engineer to lead RF, HF, analog, mixed-signal, and high-speed digital IC validation. You will develop validation plans, characterize performance across process, voltage, and temperature, and drive root-cause analysis for silicon issues.

You will collaborate with architecture, design, verification, and manufacturing teams to ensure product fidelity and reliability.

Competenze

• 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.

Descrizione del lavoro

We are LSP – Light Sensors & Photonics, one of three business units within ams OSRAM, advancing the digitalization of light. At LSP, we go beyond traditional sensing—combining light, silicon, and system expertise to enable digital photonics solutions. Our focus is clear: powering next-generation applications in data centers, AR/VR, mobile and automotive, where light becomes a critical interface for data, perception, and interaction. This evolution marks a shift from components to integrated photonics systems —driving performance, scalability, and innovation in high-growth segments.
