Validation​/Characterization Engineer | Space Power

About the Team

This role is part of TI's Space Power product line - one of the most demanding and mission-critical areas in the semiconductor industry. Our charter is to develop and qualify power ICs that operate reliably in the harshest environments on earth and beyond: deep space and low-earth orbit constellations. Unlike product lines focused on a single device family, Space Power spans the full breadth of Analog Power products - LDOs, voltage references, voltage sequencers, voltage supervisors, gate drivers, PWM controllers, power stages, multi-phase power converters, and switching converters such as buck and boost topologies.

Our portfolio includes radiation-hardened (QMLV and QMLP) and radiation-tolerant (-SEP) devices, including next-generation GaN-based power stages, and we are growing rapidly as commercial space demand accelerates. When your products power a satellite that must operate without service for its entire mission life, there is no margin for error. We are looking for a validation engineer who thrives on that challenge.

The breadth of the Space Power portfolio means you will build a technical foundation that few validation roles can match. Engineers who grow through this role develop the system-level intuition and domain depth that translate naturally across many areas of expertise. If you want to understand power ICs from silicon to space application, this is where that career starts.

As a Validation Engineer, your primary responsibility is to ensure the product meets its specifications as defined in the datasheet and VVCM (validation/verification compliance matrix). Beyond specification compliance, you are responsible for ensuring device functionality is understood and correlated across system-level use-cases and break-the-part test conditions - characterizing the boundaries of device operation and documenting behavior at and beyond rated limits.

To do this, validation engineers design PCB boards and develop automation software to increase coverage and reduce data collection time.

As a Validation Engineer on the Space Power new product development execution (NPDE) team, you will own validation and characterization activities across radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant power products. Work will involve:
