Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain scripts (e.g., Python, Bash) to automate power measurement workflows.  


• Set up and perform controlled power measurements on silicon hardware in lab environments.  


• Interface with hardware instrumentation (e.g., oscilloscopes, power analyzers, multimeters) and power management ICs.  


• Collect, analyze, and document power consumption data under various test conditions.  


• Work closely with silicon validation, hardware, and firmware teams to reproduce and debug power-related issues.  


• Assist in maintaining power lab infrastructure and ensuring accuracy of test setups.  


• Analyze data, generate reports and dashboards summarizing measurement results.  

Experience & Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or master's in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.  


• Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or MATLAB.  


• Basic understanding of electronics, device physics and power measurement principles.  


• Familiarity with lab equipment such as power supplies, multimeters, and oscilloscopes.  


• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.
