Lab Technician – Semiconductor / Chip Testing

Santa Clara, CA OnSite
Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Lab Technician to support semiconductor validation and testing for next-generation GPU and AI hardware platforms. This role is responsible for executing test plans, supporting silicon bring-up, and ensuring the reliability and performance of chipsets in a lab environment.

This is a highly technical, lab-based role working closely with hardware engineers, validation teams, and system architects



Requirements

Key Responsibilities

  • Execute chip-level and system-level validation testing on GPUs, ASICs, and related hardware
  • Support silicon bring-up activities, including initial power-on, debugging, and validation
  • Set up and maintain test benches, lab equipment, and measurement systems
  • Run automated and manual test scripts to validate:
    • Performance
    • Power consumption
    • Thermal behavior
    • Signal integrity
  • Collect, analyze, and document test data; escalate anomalies and failures
  • Assist engineers with debugging hardware issues, including board-level and component-level troubleshooting
  • Maintain lab organization, equipment calibration, and safety standards
  • Work with cross-functional teams (hardware, firmware, and software) to support validation cycles

Required Qualifications

  • 2–5+ years of experience in a hardware lab or semiconductor testing environment
  • Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as:
    • Oscilloscopes
    • Logic analyzers
    • Power supplies
    • Signal generators
  • Understanding of:
    • Digital electronics
    • PCB-level debugging
    • Basic semiconductor concepts
  • Experience running test scripts (Python, Bash, or similar)
  • Ability to follow detailed test plans and document results clearly
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with GPU, ASIC, or high-performance computing hardware
  • Exposure to silicon validation or post-silicon bring-up
  • Familiarity with Linux environments
  • Basic scripting or automation experience (Python preferred)
  • Experience with thermal and power analysis tools
  • Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
