  • Engage in hands-on bring-up and validation in the laboratory; lead test execution to completion with cross-functional teams.
  • Conduct functional validation of subsystems and intellectual property such as PCIe, LPDDR, MIPI, etc.
  • Lead silicon debugging efforts, providing root-cause analysis and driving resolution.
  • Assist in the development of Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and Silicon Level Testing (SLT), overseeing hardware deployment and software integration for SLT.
Your Qualifications:
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.
  • Over 5 years of practical experience in silicon bring-up and validation.
  • Strong knowledge of digital integrated circuits and chip architecture.
  • Proficient with laboratory instruments and debugging tools, including oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, and JTAG debuggers.
  • Competent scripting skills (preferably in Python) for test automation, data collection, post-processing, and reporting.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively within cross-functional and cross-site teams, with strong communication and documentation skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • At least 3 years of experience leading post-silicon projects, encompassing planning, execution, and team coordination.
  • Experience in establishing and maintaining silicon validation infrastructure, including test benches, automation frameworks, and data analysis tools.
  • Familiarity with pre-silicon Design Validation or emulation; leveraging pre-silicon test cases for post-silicon validation.
  • Experience in electrical validation and compliance testing of high-speed SerDes or memory interfaces.
