Job Summary

We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer (EE) to support power validation and characterization of AI silicon. The ideal candidate has strong EE fundamentals, experience with power/TDP characterization and voltage-rail measurements, and exposure to emulation platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Execute TDP and power characterization across workloads and operating conditions.
  • Perform voltage, current, power, ripple/noise, and power-rail measurements on boards and systems.
  • Characterize power behavior across voltage, frequency, temperature, and workload conditions.
  • Set up and instrument boards for accurate power measurements and data collection.
  • Debug power-related issues using scopes, DMMs, power analyzers, current probes, and other EE equipment.
  • Analyze power data, identify anomalies, and work with design, validation, firmware, and platform teams.
  • Run power-related validation on emulation platforms and correlate results with silicon where applicable.
  • Automate data collection and analysis where possible.

Qualifications

  • BS in Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • Hands-on experience with power validation, characterization, or board-level electrical measurements.
  • Experience with TDP/power characterization and voltage-rail measurements.
  • Strong understanding of power delivery, voltage regulators, current measurement, and board-level power architecture.
  • Experience using oscilloscopes, DMMs, power analyzers, current probes, and related equipment.
  • Emulation experience, such as Palladium, Zebu, or equivalent platforms, strongly preferred.
  • Experience with AI accelerators, GPUs, CPUs, server silicon, or complex SoCs preferred.
  • Python or other scripting experience for automation and data analysis is a plus.

Ideal candidate: An EE who has done hands-on silicon/board power characterization, understands how to accurately measure and debug power rails, can execute TDP characterization, and has experience working with emulation and silicon validation environments.
