Electrical Validation - Post Silicon Validation

Inputs for sourcing:

• Need Hardware Engineers who have highspeed interface (DDR5/PCIe Gen 5) experience.
• Candidates with Silicon Validation experience with Electrical background and Python scripting will be a plus.
• Intel is okay for junior candidates with 3 to 5 years experience as well but they should be strong in highspeed basics.
• FPGA/Software/Functional Validation candidates are not relevant for this requirement.

Skills Required

Experience in Post Silicon Electrical Validation of server processors (if server processor is too specific you can remove server)

High speed communication principles circuits and signal integrity principles

Computer architecture knowledge

DRAM architecture (up to (DDR5) PCIe (Gen 5) architecture knowledge

Die Interconnect Buses and other GPIO (I2C SPI I3C HSuART etc)

SW skill for test plan and test automation Python knowledge is a plus

Statistical principles for data analysis

System level test with margin analysis experience is a plus.

Job Description:

Silicon validation experience preferably in the area of SERDES DDR or highspeed interface design.

Experience to validate PCIe CXL DDRx LPDDR controller/chips for leading edge protocols and advanced nodes.

Understanding of JEDEC PCIe Standard

Experience in PCIe TX/RX Validation

Knowledge on MRC algorithm and tuning for DDR memories

Bring up characterization and validation of Silicon.

Experience in system marginality validation

Work with design team to debug problems and performance issues. Report results to design teams.

Support customer silicon bring up and post silicon queries of IP and help to debug customer issues with same. Debug issues with SOC IP and boards as needed.

Execute test requests from design team or customers to measure specific parameters or root cause issues.

Recommend and pursue improvements to our test plan and environment to ensure the highest quality IP is produced and minimize any silicon issues
