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.

  • Partner with silicon design, package, board, and software teams to drive debug, rootcause analysis, and issue resolution.

  • Drive exploration and enablement of IPlevel and platformlevel validation methodologies, tools, and infrastructure to improve validation efficiency, coverage, and throughput.

  • 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 post‑silicon validation, silicon bring‑up, or PHY design and development roles.

  • Strong hands‑on experience validating high‑speed interfaces and PHYs such as DDR, LPDDR, MIPI, LVDS, and GPIO.

  • Deep understanding of high‑speed signal integrity, power integrity, timing, and analog/mixed‑signal behaviors.

  • Proven expertise using advanced lab equipment, including high‑bandwidth oscilloscopes, BERTs, protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, and pattern generators.

  • Strong background in post‑silicon debug, root‑cause 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.
