Sr Digital Engineer - Austin, United States
Originally posted 5 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
As a Senior Digital Engineer, you will develop and execute verification for control-loop features and functions in digital power management products used in AI, datacenter, and high-performance computing applications.
What you'll do
- Develop and execute verification plans for digital control-loop features and functions.
- Translate feature requirements and system intent into measurable test scenarios and pass/fail criteria.
- Verify control-loop behavior across operating conditions, configurations, limits, sequencing, and corner cases.
- Analyze feature behavior using behavioral models, RTL simulations, analog/mixed-signal simulations, emulation, bench measurements, and silicon results.
- Correlate results across models, simulation, emulation, bench validation, and silicon to identify differences and support engineering decisions.
- Develop and maintain automation for parameter sweeps, corner testing, waveform analysis, regression testing, and verification reporting.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- 5+ years of relevant experience in digital power control, mixed-signal verification, semiconductor validation, systems engineering, power electronics, or design verification.
- Solid understanding of feedback control systems, including compensation, stability, bandwidth, transient response, latency, sampling, quantization, saturation, and nonlinear behavior.
- Experience testing or verifying digital control functions, mixed-signal systems, power-management features, or other complex electronic systems.
- Experience with scripting or programming for test automation, data analysis, or verification infrastructure.
- Experience developing and executing test plans, test scenarios, pass/fail criteria, and measurable engineering results.
Nice to have
- Experience with digital multiphase controllers, DC/DC converters, voltage regulators, power management ICs, or high-current datacenter power applications.
- Experience verifying digital compensation, current balancing, current estimation, adaptive control, transient enhancement, telemetry, protection, or other loop-related features.
- Experience with behavioral modeling, model correlation, real-number modeling, Verilog-AMS, SystemVerilog RNM, MATLAB, Python, SIMPLIS, or equivalent environments.
- Experience with RTL simulation, mixed-signal simulation, bench automation, or semiconductor validation.
- Familiarity with Bode analysis, gain and phase margin, load-transient testing, output-impedance analysis, timing measurements, latency measurements, and power-system measurement techniques.
- Familiarity with structured test results, dashboards, databases, or API-driven engineering workflows.
- Experience debugging differences among feature specifications, behavioral models, RTL implementation, bench results, and silicon measurements.
