Job Description

Job Details:

Job Description:
  • Own high-speed I/O validation, including defining and executing validation strategies across multiple programs.
  • Develop, standardize, and maintain validation methodologies, test setups, and measurement flows to enable scalable and repeatable execution.
  • Perform postsilicon functional and electrical validation using stateoftheart lab equipment, including highbandwidth oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, pattern generators, and logic analyzers.
  • Collaborate with hardware board design teams on highspeed channel implementation, including stackups, routing strategies, and I/O termination topologies; review schematics, layouts, and board design guidelines.
  • Collaborate with firmware team to develop and optimize calibration and test algorithms for high-speed interfaces (DDR, LPDDR, MIPI, etc.), and validate firmware-driven calibration flows.
  • Partner with silicon design, package, board, and software teams to drive debug, rootcause analysis, and issue resolution.
  • Focus primarily on high-speed analog I/O and PHY design including transmitters, receivers and voltage regulators for advanced DDR, LPDDR and MIPI interfaces as well as LVDS and GPIO designs. 

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Industry experience in postsilicon validation, silicon bringup, or PHY design and development roles.
  • Strong handson experience validating highspeed interfaces and PHYs such as DDR/LPDDR, MIPI and GPIO.
  • Deep understanding of highspeed signal integrity, power integrity, timing, and analog/mixedsignal behaviors.
  • Proven expertise using advanced lab equipment, including highbandwidth oscilloscopes, BERTs, protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, and pattern generators.
  • Strong background in postsilicon debug, rootcause analysis, and driving issues to resolution across silicon, package, board, and software domains.
  • Proficiency in scripting or programming (e.g., Python, Perl, TCL, C/C++) for validation automation and data analysis.
