The Senior Mixed Signal Design Validation Engineer joins the high-speed mixed signal circuits team to lead the bring-up and characterization of complex interfaces and modules. This role focuses on validating high-speed I/O systems for LPDDR, GDDR, and HBM memory technologies to ensure quality and reliability for GPU and AI computing platforms. Key responsibilities include creating validation test plans and scripts, conducting characterization of analog, digital, and mixed-signal blocks under varying conditions, and investigating circuit weaknesses to drive architecture enhancements. Candidates must possess expertise in signal integrity, power integrity, and lab instrumentation like oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers. Required technical skills include Python, C, Git, and JMP for data analysis. The role involves collaborating with multi-functional teams to debug silicon performance and optimize memory interface designs.
Create validation test plans and scripts for DDR I/O associated with LPDDR, GDDR, and HBM memory interfaces.
Characterize analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit blocks under varying process, voltage, and temperature conditions.
Perform system-level validation to ensure high-speed memory interfaces meet performance and quality metrics for GPUs and AI systems.
Investigate memory I/O circuit weaknesses to drive circuit improvements and architecture enhancements for future products.
Lead debugging efforts to resolve unexpected bugs and develop creative solutions for hardware issues.
Validate silicon performance, quality, and margins to refine memory interface designs.
Develop and implement tools and scripts to enhance electrical characterization and chip bring-up processes.
Mentor and train new engineers on validation practices and technical standards.
What we're looking for
BS degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
8 years or higher of experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Solid experience in silicon bring-up and debugging, particularly for high-speed memory interfaces.
Strong understanding of memory systems, specifications, and high-speed memory technologies like LPDDR, GDDR, and HBM.
In-depth technical knowledge of mixed-signal circuits, analog, and digital systems.
Strong knowledge of signal integrity and power integrity.
Experience with lab instrumentation including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, TDR, phase noise analyzers, signal generators, and BER testers.
Strong scripting skills in Python, C, or similar languages, with experience in Git and JMP (preferred).
