As a Senior Post-Silicon DDR Characterization Engineer on the Chandler Characterization team, you will validate and characterize next-generation Arm SoCs to help customers bring products to market. You will focus on DDR/LPDDR memory subsystems by characterizing silicon across process, voltage, temperature, and frequency conditions. Your daily responsibilities include developing system-level stress workloads for Linux and Bare-Metal environments, creating test plans, and collaborating with validation teams to debug and resolve system issues. The role requires expertise in DDR/LPDDR architectures, including training, calibration, timing, and PHY operation. You will utilize C, C++, Arm assembly, Python, or other scripting languages to perform data analysis and automation. Essential skills include experience with voltage and frequency margining, silicon operating limits, and using scopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers to solve complex problems related to memory performance and stability.
