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 post‑silicon functional and electrical validation using state‑of‑the‑art lab equipment, including high‑bandwidth oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, pattern generators, and logic analyzers.
  • Collaborate with hardware board design teams on high‑speed channel implementation, including stack‑ups, 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, root‑cause analysis, and issue resolution.
  • Drive exploration and enablement of IP‑level and platform‑level 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 Electronic Engineering or a related field.
  • Solid fundamentals in semiconductor device physics, analog and digital circuits, and signal integrity.
  • Basic understanding of highspeed interfaces and protocols such as DDR/LPDDR, MIPI, PCIe, USB, LVDS, or similar I/O technologies.
  • Handson academic or internship experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, pattern generators, or protocol analyzers is a plus.
  • Basic scripting or programming experience (e.g., Python, Perl, TCL, or C/C++) is preferred.
  • Strong analytical and problemsolving skills with the ability to debug technical issues effectively.
  • Selfmotivated, eager to learn, and able to work in a fastpaced engineering environment.
