TL;DR · Fellow Server System Memory Validation Lead

The Fellow, Server System Memory Validation Lead joins the Server Memory Validation team to ensure the quality, reliability, and readiness of the memory subsystem across server products. This role involves driving system memory validation strategy from pre-silicon development through customer deployment across multiple memory technologies. Key responsibilities include developing test strategies to uncover complex design issues, defining scalable automation-driven validation frameworks, and leading critical memory debug efforts. The position requires expert knowledge of DDR, LPDDR, HBM, and memory subsystem architecture, including RAS features like ECC and sparing. Candidates must possess deep knowledge of firmware, BIOS/UEFI, and system software interactions. Technical skills include proficiency in C, C++, and Python. The work focuses on solving complex memory subsystem functionality, power, and performance problems for server silicon.

What you'll do

  • Drive system memory validation strategy from pre-silicon development through customer deployment.
  • Ensure comprehensive validation coverage for memory subsystem functionality, power, performance, and RAS features.
  • Develop test strategies to uncover complex design issues and accelerate root-cause analysis.
  • Partner with customers and memory vendors to enable new technologies and resolve critical issues.
  • Define scalable, automation-driven validation frameworks to improve test efficiency and coverage.
  • Lead technical efforts for critical memory debugs and improve on-chip debug methodologies.
  • Leverage AI-based tools and techniques to enhance validation and debug productivity.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science required.
  • Master’s degree preferred.
  • Expert knowledge of DDR, LPDDR, HBM, and memory subsystem architecture.
  • Extensive experience in pre-silicon and post-silicon memory validation, bring-up, debug, and performance optimization.
  • Strong understanding of memory RAS features, including ECC, sparing, patrol scrub, interleaving, and addressing schemes.
  • Deep knowledge of firmware, BIOS/UEFI, and system software interactions with memory subsystems.
  • Proficiency in C, C++, Python, or similar programming and scripting languages.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence decisions across design, firmware, validation, and customers.
