Company

hirify.global supplies analog and mixed-signal semiconductors for consumer, computing, communications, industrial, and automotive applications.

What you will do

• Validate mixed-signal IC hardware and related software or firmware before and after silicon production.
• Define, operate, and debug FPGA prototyping and hardware emulation platforms.
• Lead silicon validation plans, develop laboratory hardware and evaluation setups, and drive IC bring-up and debug.
• Develop automated tests, instrument drivers, and scripts for laboratory measurements and data analysis, including AI-assisted workflows.
• Characterize analog and mixed-signal performance across corner conditions and correlate measurements with design expectations.
• Analyze failures, document results, and collaborate with design, verification, product, test, applications, and firmware teams.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of industry experience in hardware and software validation.
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
• Experience with IC bring-up, pre- and post-silicon validation, and digital systems.
• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, multimeters, and associated measurement methods.
• Proficiency in C/C++, Python or other scripting languages, software development, and embedded systems.
• Experience with hardware protocols such as I2C, I3C, SPI, MIPI, GPIB, JTAG, and PCIe, plus development boards, processors, microcontrollers, and Xilinx/Vivado FPGA tools.

Nice to have

• Experience with AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude, or GitHub Copilot.
• Experience with ARM, RISC-V, PIC, or STM32 MCU-based systems.
• Knowledge of RTL, SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL, FPGA tools, or Matlab.
• Familiarity with analog and mixed-signal circuit concepts, Git, and scripted regression frameworks.

Culture & Benefits

• Close collaboration across system, digital, software/firmware, analog, verification, test, product, and applications teams.
• Opportunity to work on low-power sensing solutions for portable, industrial, and automotive products.
• Full-time employment in a hands-on laboratory and product-development environment.
