General Summary

JD: HSIO - Electrical Validation and Characterization Engineer

The HSIO Post Silicon Engineering group has an opening for a HSIO Characterization Engineer.

As part of the HSIO Post Silicon Engineering group, you will be responsible for bench characterization and electrical validation of leading-edge High-Speed IO interfaces and LPDDR subsystems across mobile, automotive, compute, and datacenter platforms. You will work on High-Speed Interfaces such as PCIe, USB2/3/4, DisplayPort, HDMI, MIPI CSI/DSI, MIPI D-PHY/C-PHY, UFS, Ethernet, and PLLs.

You Will

Evaluate parametric and electrical performance of High-Speed IO IPs
Perform post-silicon validation, characterization, and compliance testing of HSIO interfaces
Analyze signal quality including eye diagrams, jitter, BER, receiver tolerance, equalization, and link performance
Perform failure analysis and root-cause design, silicon, board, and system-level issues
Bring up complex validation platforms, boards, and test environments
Develop validation plans, test methodologies, automation frameworks, and test scripts
Collaborate closely with PHY design, system engineering, software, hardware, and customer engineering teams across the globe in a time-critical environment


Qualifications

M.Tech, B.Tech, or equivalent in Electronics or Electrical Engineering
