Job description
Help Bring Obsolete Semiconductors Back to Life
At Phoenix Semiconductor Corporation (PSC), we're solving one of the industry's most challenging problems—replacing obsolete integrated circuits.
Our products are drop-in replacements that enable aerospace, defense, industrial, medical, and commercial systems to continue operating for decades. Every device we release must prove it performs like—or better than—the original.
This is an on-site position located in Austin, Texas. Remote work is not available. U.S. Citizenship is required.
We're looking for an experienced Senior Semiconductor Test Engineer to lead the validation and qualification of our products from concept through production release. If you enjoy solving difficult technical problems, building test strategies from the ground up, and working across engineering disciplines, we'd like to talk with you.

As our senior test engineer, you'll define how every PSC product is validated before it reaches our customers.
You'll work closely with design engineering, quality, manufacturing, and supply chain to develop qualification strategies, analyze performance data, and ensure every replacement device meets electrical, thermal, mechanical, and reliability requirements.
This is a highly visible role where you'll help establish the testing processes and standards that support the future growth of the company.
