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.
