As a DDR Bench Characterization Engineer within the Post Silicon Engineering group, you will develop test solutions for highly integrated SOCs. You will be responsible for defining and executing characterization plans for leading-edge LP-DDR and PC-DDR subsystems, including DRAM, controllers, mixed-signal PHY IPs, and power distribution networks. Your daily work involves performing parametric analysis of silicon behavior across various operating conditions, driving root-cause failure analysis, and developing automated test scripts to accelerate evaluation. You will utilize Python or C# for automation while employing lab equipment such as Oscilloscopes, TDRs, VNAs, and J-BERTs. The role focuses on solving complex high-speed interface challenges, ensuring electrical compliance, and optimizing design parameters through data-driven decision-making. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve power integrity and signal integrity issues related to package and board designs for advanced semiconductor products.
