Senior Technician, PMIC Product & Test Development Engineering
$28 - $42 USD hourly
Originally posted 17 April 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This Senior Technician role focuses on bench and ATE execution, hardware bring-up, measurement reporting, and lab operations in support of PMIC design verification, new product introduction (NPI), and production support across the full product lifecycle.
What you'll do
- Execute IC validation and characterization testing on bench and Automated Test Equipment (ATE) platforms for PMIC and Analog devices. - Set up, maintain, and debug bench test systems, PCBs, and supporting lab hardware. - Perform electrical measurements, process and analyze data, and document results. - Support hardware and software debug, including basic test scripts, instrument control, and measurement automation. - Calibrate and maintain bench test equipment to ensure measurement integrity and repeatability. - Support NPI and qualification activities, including correlation between bench, ATE, and manufacturing test environments.
What you'll need
- Associate's degree, or higher, in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related technical field (or minimum qualification equivalency: Bachelor's degree, or Associate's degree with 1+ year of experience, or High School Diploma/equivalent with 2+ years of Engineering Technician experience). - Hands-on experience with common lab equipment: oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, spectrum/network analyzers, and power meters. - Working knowledge of PMIC and analog measurements, such as load/line regulation, PSRR, efficiency, power, jitter, and phase noise. - Ability to read and work from electrical schematics and mechanical drawings. - Familiarity with PCB bring-up, rework, and troubleshooting. - Ability to frequently transport and install equipment weighing at least 25 lbs.
Nice to have
- Exposure to Automated Test Equipment (ATE), wafer probers, and device handlers. - Experience supporting new product introduction (NPI) or silicon qualification activities. - Experience with measurement automation or instrument control software (e.g., Python, C#, or similar). - Understanding of high-volume semiconductor manufacturing and production test flows. - Strong soldering and rework skills (fine-pitch components preferred). - Prior experience supporting PMIC, mixed-signal, or analog ASICs in a lab or manufacturing environment.
