About the job
Owns early silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation for high-speed interconnects, from test planning and lab execution through debug and productization.
What you'll do
- Bring up silicon and develop validation infrastructure, test content, and automation for high-speed interfaces.
- Validate SerDes, PHYs, and related interconnects through electrical and protocol testing; correlate lab results with simulations and root-cause issues.
- Coordinate with engineering and manufacturing teams, document findings, and support production ramp and customer readiness.
What they ask for
- Expertise in chip bring-up, post-silicon validation, and debug of high-speed interconnects.
- Hands-on experience with high-speed lab equipment and validation methodologies.
- Knowledge of signal and power integrity, clock architectures, analog and mixed-signal, high-speed DAC and ADC, equalization, and link training protocols.
- Ability to correlate silicon measurements with design simulations and models and drive systematic debug.
Nice to have
- Strong scripting and automation skills (Python preferred).
- Experience in PCB/evaluation board validation.
Tools
PCIe, CXL, Ethernet, DDR, SerDes, Python, TCL, BERT
AI focus
The silicon interconnect fabric is purpose-built for AI infrastructure; the role validates the silicon platforms and does not state that it involves AI development.
