DESCRIPTION

Join the team which delivers highly differentiated silicon into Blink and Ring battery powered devices. Our validation team works on state-of-the art SoCs in a vertically integrated team environment to deliver products our customers love. The team works backwards from customer requirements to build super-low power, energy efficient designs that include the latest in AI, video processing, low power communications and CMOS fabrication technology.

Because we are vertically integrated we directly get to see products built and ship based on our silicon.
We work directly with product teams to increase the velocity of features and time to ship products.
