Alif established its first European R&D site to Oulu to be a significant center of expertise and employ teams of Software and Digital IC Design experts, to complement the staff in the US and India. We are headquartered in the US, and our office in the Oulu Technology Park employs over 30 employees.

 

Our local team consists of very experienced experts as well as younger talents ready to take on new challenges in their careers. Our days here often consist of solving very high-level technical challenges and creating new technology, and we can offer you growth opportunities that are unique and rewarding. We have an open, supportive, and relaxed culture. We enjoy coming to the office and collaborating with one another. 

 

As our site is growing, we have a role for a Senior Validation Engineer to join our newly founded Silicon Validation team to help us to expand and maintain our lab and to manage the execution of silicon validation tests for all of Alif’s devices. We are building our Silicon Validation Team, and in this role, you will work closely with the director of Silicon Validation and the rest of our validation and development teams.

This position is a permanent, full-time role for a professional who is capable of independently planning, organizing, and executing their own work. This role does not require prior experience in a lead or managerial position but does require a strong sense of ownership and accountability. The individual should be able to effectively document and report on their activities, progress, and results.
