Full 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. Required Qualifications: • Bachelor's / Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. • 8+ 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. We believe in rewarding our employees with a competitive benefits package alongside their salary. More information will be provided during the hiring process.
