TL;DR · Post-Silicon Memory Subsystem Validation Engineer

The Post-Silicon Memory Subsystem Validation Engineer joins the Client and Graphics team to perform hands-on work in a collaborative lab environment. This role focuses on first-silicon bring-up, executing post-silicon memory-subsystem validation, and isolating complex hardware, firmware, software, and platform issues. The engineer will conduct root-cause analysis, reproduce failures, verify corrective actions, and communicate technical findings to cross-functional partners including design and customer-facing teams. Key technical requirements include expertise in DDR and memory systems, experience with first-silicon bring-up, and proficiency with laboratory tools for silicon and platform debug. The role specifically addresses the challenge of validating DDR and related memory subsystems, with a preference for candidates possessing LPDDR5x or DDR5 memory exposure. Candidates should possess strong root-cause debug skills to resolve issues across hardware and software boundaries while ensuring high-quality deliverables in a fast-moving environment.

What you'll do

  • Execute post-silicon memory-subsystem validation and first-silicon bring-up activities in a lab environment.
  • Isolate complex hardware, firmware, software, and platform issues using disciplined debug methods.
  • Perform root-cause analysis to reproduce failures and verify corrective actions.
  • Resolve customer-facing technical issues to ensure high levels of customer satisfaction.
  • Manage defined validation and debug deliverables while coordinating with cross-functional partner teams.
  • Communicate technical findings clearly to various internal and external stakeholders.
  • Utilize laboratory tools and equipment to validate memory interfaces and silicon performance.

What we're looking for

  • Execute post-silicon memory-subsystem validation and first-silicon bring-up activities.
  • Isolate issues across hardware, firmware, software, platform, and memory interfaces using disciplined debug methods.
  • Perform root-cause analysis, reproduce failures, and verify corrective actions.
  • Communicate technical findings clearly to cross-functional partner teams and customers.
  • Strong expertise in DDR and memory systems with post-silicon validation experience (preferred).
  • Experience with first-silicon bring-up in a laboratory environment (preferred).
  • Pre-silicon validation experience (preferred).
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field (preferred).
