Job Description

This position requires an experienced technical lead with a strong background in post silicon validation across multiple product iterations. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with DDR5 buffer of silicon bring-up and validation, including high-speed analog and mixed-signal characterization.

This position requires an experienced technical lead with a strong background in post silicon validation across multiple product iterations. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience of silicon bring-up and validation, including high-speed analog and mixed-signal characterization. . The candidate should be comfortable leading bench-level validation and characterization activities, driving debug efforts, developing test methodologies, and collaborating cross-functionally with design, system, and product engineering teams.

Component Bench Validation and Characterization
  • Leverage best-known test and measurement techniques-including de-embedding, high-impedance probing, and noise compensation-to address complex signal-integrity challenges as memory data rates continue to scale.
  • Support Design and Validation teams in the characterization of critical electrical and timing parameters for high-speed memory devices.
  • Collaborate closely with designers and cross-functional partners to debug and optimize performance using exploratory, open-ended test approaches that extend beyond strict specification-driven measurements.

Data Analysis and Reporting
  • Synthesize experimental results and systematically define subsequent validation and characterization experiments to fully isolate and understand complex issues.
  • Generate clear, consistent, and well-structured reports tailored to a range of technical and non-technical audiences, ensuring actionable insights and alignment across teams.
  • Develop and validate innovative applications of LLM/AI techniques to analyze large-scale validation datasets, generate effective visualizations, and reduce overall cycle time to final reporting.

Technical Communication
  • Effectively document test methodologies, procedures, and assumptions to ensure results are reproducible, accurate, and scalable across validation efforts.
  • Communicate complex technical concepts with an appropriate level of detail tailored to each stakeholder, from deep technical audiences to broader cross-functional teams.
  • Collaborate effectively with Validation Engineers across diverse geographic regions, languages, and technical backgrounds, fostering alignment and knowledge sharing within global teams.


Qualifications

  • Bachelor's / Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in high-speed Analog and Mixed-signal signal devices.
  • Strong understanding of signaling levels, termination architectures, and signal integrity tradeoffs in systems.
  • Expertise in using typical high speed interface test equipment (BERT, Scope, Compliance S/W).
  • Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python) for test automation and analysis.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Preferred Qualifications:
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering
  • Experience with advanced signal integrity measurements and applications for Design correlation.
  • Strong understanding of memory interface architecture, interface protocols, standards and operation, preferably DDR5.
