TL;DR · Systems Engineering Analog IC Validation

The Systems Engineering Analog IC Validation team is responsible for defining and utilizing test procedures to ensure products meet industry standards. As a Staff engineer, you will architect characterization procedures and execute robust validation test plans on prototype silicon for high-speed serial industries. Your daily work involves collaborating with hardware, software, and digital IC design teams to debug new products in a lab environment. You will develop Python scripts to automate test equipment, create host software tools for low-level system validation, and develop SI simulation models. Key technical requirements include proficiency with VNAs, TDRs, spectrum analyzers, and real-time oscilloscopes, alongside experience with SPICE, ADS, and IBIS-AMI models. You will solve complex signal integrity issues and ensure compliance with SAS, SATA, PCIe, NVMe, DDR4, and Onfi standards.

What you'll do

  • Architect characterization procedures and tests to ensure compliance with SAS, SATA, PCIe, and NVMe standards.
  • Review and execute robust validation test plans on prototype silicon in a lab environment.
  • Develop Python scripts to control test equipment and automate various validation tasks.
  • Develop host software tools and applications for low-level system validation.
  • Develop SI simulation models for customer consumption and identify signal quality issues.
  • Drive technical debug and resolve system-level issues by proposing creative workarounds.
  • Educate Field Application Engineers on new product features and operational details.
  • Collaborate with technical publications to create engineering notes, data sheets, and architectural manuals.

What we're looking for

  • Legal authorization to work in the US.
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering.
  • 5+ years of related work experience.
  • Solid understanding of transmission line theory and high-speed I/O operation.
  • Experience using VNAs, TDRs, spectrum analyzers, and real-time oscilloscopes.
  • Ability to write and debug programs in Python with some experience in C and MATLAB.
  • Experience developing/debugging automated test scripts (preferred).
  • Experience running Analog simulation tools like SPICE or ADS with IBIS-AMI models (preferred).
