About Ferric, Inc.
Ferric is a technology startup based in New York City that is pioneering an entirely new approach to power delivery for Integrated Circuits and Electronic Assemblies. This approach leverages Ferric’s integration of thin-film magnetic inductors with CMOS technology to enable a significant improvement in the integration density and efficiency of voltage regulators (VRs) compared with current commercially available technologies.
About the role
- As a Ferric IC Validation Test Engineer, you will gain exposure to the full product-life of Ferric’s ICs by working with a diverse cross-functional team including IC designers, test & application engineers, engineering vendors, the fab, and our customers. Your primary responsibilities will be validation testing and characterizing Ferric’s mixed-signal ICs, including creating test plans, performing bench-level tests, and developing/maintaining a suite of automation scripts for IC performance characterization. Additional responsibilities will include supporting IC product qualification and production testing by our engineering vendors as ICs are productized. The position requires a strong background in mixed-signal IC design and test, experience with standard circuit test lab equipment, instrument automation/programming, and data-analysis skills. Applicants should be self-motivating and possess excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, as well as excellent oral and written communication skills with the ability to work well and contribute on a team.
What you’ll do
-
Work with IC design and test teams to create and review test plans and test cases, including providing recommendations for DFT & TFQ, test & debug visibility, etc
-
Bench-level validation, characterization, and debug of full ICs and IC sub-systems
-
Development and execution of Python scripts to automate the characterization and data acquisition of key DC-DC power-converter metrics
-
Circuit and PCB design (and occasional assembly) of bench-level IC test boards and test fixtures
-
Support Field Applications Engineering team with bench test/demo setups and customer support items
-
Support Product Engineering team in developing production/ATE test programs based on validation testing
Qualifications
-
Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in EE
-
Industry Experience: 0-5 years
-
Self-motivated, possessing a willingness to learn and grow with the position, and able to take on full ownership of finding engineering solutions

-
Experience with data collection and analysis for validation reports and root cause failure analysis.
-
Experience with PCB design and assembly, including component selection, soldering, etc
-
Familiarity with VISA API and SCPI standard for controlling test equipment
-
Lab experience with common test equipment such as: Oscilloscope, Digital Multimeter (DMM), Source Measure Unit (SMU), DC Power Supply Unit (PSU), Electronic Load, Spectrum Analyzer, etc
-
Knowledge of DC-DC power-converters/regulators (Buck, Boost, LDO, etc)
-
Programming Languages: Python, Verilog
-
Software: Cadence Virtuoso Suite, PCB design tools, and Linux & Windows operating systems
Preferred/Plus Skills and Experience
-
Education: Master’s Degree in EE
-
Industry Experience: 2-5 years of IC test experience
-
Knowledge of IC product qualification stress-testing for the release-to-production process
-
Knowledge of IC production testing, including Automated Test Equipment and techniques
-
Experience with statistical data analysis of IC production data, including parametric correlation analysis, yield and quality improvement, etc
