Memory Validation Engineer

Post-Silicon Memory Validation Staff Engineer

THE ROLE:

Processor silicon DDR interface feature enablement, electrical test and debug engineer. In this role, this senior level engineer will be part of a highly technical team that develops test plans, executes bring-up & feature enable, & debugs electrical issues in the memory sub-system of new processors.

THE PERSON:

The person needs to be well self-motivated for deliveries and innovation, strong technical background on DDR interface, also with good communication skills.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Provides DDR technical leadership in the development of new test & validation features
• Closely interacts with silicon design (DRAM controller and memory Phy) in test execution & debug, as well as in feature definition for future product generation
• Writes comprehensive electrical & functional test plans for the memory validation of processors
• Executes electrical & functional test plans for processors using hardware & software validation tools, oscilloscopes, & logic analyzers.
• Debug of electrical & functional issues of the memory sub-system of new processors
• Provides detailed input into the platform definition & review of platform designs used in the silicon validation of new processors.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Requires experience and demonstrated technical expertise in the development & execution of platform level electrical & functional test plans. DDR5(4)/LPDDR5(4) Memory test experience on electronic components such as uProcessors would be considered a big plus.
• Requires extensive hands-on experience and demonstrated technical expertise in the debug of I/O interfaces such as DDR
• Familiar with DDR signal measurement, reading schematics and layout documentation
• Requires good written and oral communication skills
• Familiar with Python, Ruby, Perl language.
• Working knowledge of lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and protocol analyzers
• Self-organizing and the ability multitask based on priorities
• Scripting and automation tool development is a plus.
• Linux environment validation or development experience is also a great plus
