Embedded System Validation Engineer Jobs in Lawrence, MA

The Senior Mixed-Signal PMIC Validation Engineer supports the development of advanced power management ICs for wireless infrastructure applications. This role will contribute to both pre-silicon analog mixed-signal verification and post-silicon bring-up, characterization, validation, and debug.

The ideal candidate combines strong analog and mixed-signal fundamentals with experience in simulation, behavioral modeling, laboratory measurements, test automation, and cross-functional product development. This role offers opportunities to grow into full-chip verification and validation ownership, product technical leadership, and broader system-level responsibility.

Hybrid from Waltham, MA.  

• Develop and execute pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation plans for mixed-signal power management ICs.
• Create and maintain analog mixed-signal testbenches for block-, subsystem-, and top-level verification.
• Develop and use behavioral models, including Verilog-A and real-number models, to support efficient mixed-signal simulation.
• Assist in silicon bring-up, functional validation, and electrical characterization.
• Assist in automating simulations, laboratory measurements, regression testing, and data analysis using Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or similar tools.
• Correlate simulation results and behavioral models with bench measurements, specifications, and production test data.
• Investigate design, silicon, board, firmware, and measurement issues through structured root-cause analysis.
• Collaborate with analog, digital, verification, firmware, systems, applications, test, quality, and product engineering teams.
• Contribute to reusable verification environments, validation infrastructure, coverage improvement, and product readiness reviews.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in electrical engineering or a related field.
• 5+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Experience in analog mixed-signal verification, post-silicon validation, characterization, applications engineering, product engineering, or mixed-signal hardware development.
• Strong understanding of power electronics, analog mixed-signal, and feedback-control fundamentals.
• Experience with circuit simulation, mixed-signal testbenches, and verification methodologies.
• Proficiency with Verilog, SystemVerilog, Verilog-AMS, Verilog-A, real-number modeling, or similar behavioral modeling techniques.
• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, signal generators, precision meters, and related laboratory equipment.
• Proactive and methodical problem-solving skills, taking ownership of complex technical issues.
• Ability to use simulation, measurement, and data analysis to guide engineering decisions.
• Comfortable working across pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation and collaborates effectively across analog, digital, software, and product engineering disciplines.

• Experience with PMICs, Switching Power Converters DC-DC regulators, supply modulators, gate drivers, or related power-conversion architectures.
• Experience developing compact behavioral models that balance simulation accuracy and performance.
• Experience with control-loop stability, transient response, noise, thermal characterization, or statistical analysis.
• Familiarity with SPI, IC, UART, or similar serial digital interfaces.
