Job Id- ITEKJP00023918 - Intel Job Title - Engineer: Validation - III Location Hudson Massachusetts USA 01749 Client - Intel Duration- 04 Months (Probability to extend) Payrate- $ 95.50/Hr Description: Platform Validation. The electrical validation engineer applies working knowledge of electrical/electronic theory to verify new silicon functionality and adherence to electrical specifications in a development and/or reference platform, debug and root cause issues found, and resolve customer-identified issues as they occur. Responsibilities: Perform measurements of high speed digital interfaces for adherence to industry specifications for timing, signal quality and performance across silicon process, voltage, and temperature conditions. Perform experiments to help debug issues to their root cause and develop recommended solutions. Evaluate test specifications, requirements, strategies and methodologies for post-silicon electrical validation. Execute electrical validation test plans and review, track, document and summarize test results. Qualifications:Bachelor of Science degree or a Master of Science degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science or similar degree with at least six years of industry experience.Additional qualifications include:Proven knowledge in the use of laboratory measurement equipment such as high speed oscilloscopes, multi-meters, and time-domain reflectometers to characterize electrical performance of new silicon and platform interfaces. Experience:Validating the timing and signal quality performance of high-speed DDR interfaces. Knowledge and experience running system level test scripts in a Linux/python environment. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, coupled with the ability to work independently and in a team environment Experience designing and validating RF, analog, digital or mixed-signal circuits/systems would be an added advantage.Specific tasks include:DDR Validation (Main task Experimental R&D chip debug, measurement and characterization* Performance measurements (system margination and jitterUse of the measurements equipment (manual and automated), signal generators etc* Validation automation, scripting (python), and data preparation (python, matlab, jmp Setting up and modifying the validation platform* Debugging the platform and address performance/functional issues (rework)Lab* Management and organization* Creating test plans and test reportsR&D* IO Pathfinding using FPGAs (Quartus, RTL, Verilog)
