Job Description

As a Principal SerDes Test Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, developing, and implementing cost-effective methods of testing infrastructure software/hardware and troubleshooting systems and equipment for all phases of product development.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design and develop test methods to evaluate the performance and operating margins of high-speed serial interfaces and supporting circuitry on networking and other ICs.
  • Develop statistically and scientifically sound methodologies to determine and/or verify the effectiveness and accuracy of various challenging analog tests.
  • Measure electrical characteristics in the picosecond regime for newly designed integrated circuits for communications.
  • Work closely with chip designers to improve the testability and test methodologies of various circuits.
  • Research and evaluate state-of-the-art test equipment, modules, and components to design the optimal configuration of test hardware for the most accurate testing possible.
  • Utilize state-of-the-art bench test equipment to determine the parametric performance of networking ICs with the ultimate precision and accuracy.
  • Utilize a broad set of skills to isolate issues at the system, sub-system, PCB, chip package, and die level, working individually or with a team of system/board, chip, and package designers.
  • Design automated bench-level device testing procedures by utilizing programmable test equipment.
  • Participate in the design and development of chip evaluation fixtures (particularly printed circuit boards), test hardware, and test equipment, interacting with vendor and other internal hardware design engineers.
  • Generate comprehensive test reports with creative and clear analysis methods that highlight the relationships between stimulus/setup conditions and device performance.
Requirements:
  • Must understand and implement test methods required for high-speed custom and standards-compliant serializer/deserializer products.
  • Must develop, accurately track, and meet commitments to product characterization or engineering development schedules.
  • Understand and be very familiar with the operation and principles of modern high-speed test equipment, including but not limited to power supplies, multimeters, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes (with emphasis on jitter and noise analysis), bit error rate testers (including modulation/jitter sources), vector network analyzers, and logic analyzers.
  • Able to measure, understand, and analyze causes of jitter and noise.
  • Understand fundamentals of VLSI IC I/O and control, and built-in self-test (BIST).
  • Familiarity with test methods and testing standards for electrical performance and compliance testing with any of the following communication standards is beneficial:
  • Local Area Networking: Ethernet (10/100/1GBaseT, 10GbE (XAUI, CX4, XFI/SFI), 40 or 100GbE (IEEE 802.3) standards, and/or ITU-T G-series recommendations.
  • Personal computer busses: Serial ATA, PCI-Express, USB3
  • Telecommunications: SONET/SDH (OC-192, OC-768, etc.), OTN
  • Familiarity with usage and principles of fiberoptic components in a system/testbed application such as couplers, lasers, optical amplifiers, and optical fiber is beneficial.
  • Safety conscious with clean and orderly work habits.
  • Skilled in the use of calibration standards and methodologies.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills and presentation skills.
  • Well-organized, methodical, and detail-oriented.
  • Team player and can easily work with different personalities and skill levels.
  • Extensive programming experience in at least one of the following languages: C, C++, C#, perl, or python (preferred).
Preferred Qualifications:
