Location: CA, Fremont

Experience: 2-6 Years

Description:

Electrical validation of various IOs (PCIe, USB3, UFS, DP, HDMI, etc.) in different chips (GPU/SOC). This involves:
Understanding the test plan.
Setting up the DUT for different test cases, executing them, and recording observations for each case clearly.
Understanding spec expectations and flagging any failures to meet them.
Performing first-level triage of issues/failures (e.g., analyzing and confirming that it is an actual failure and not caused by a board, measurement setup, or other issue), followed by data collection to root-cause the failures and find a fix.

Requirements:

Educational Qualifications:

B.E. degree with Electrical/Electronic as major subjects.

Work Experience:

2 to 6 years of relevant work experience.

Technical Skills:

Required:

Clarity on signal integrity concepts (e.g., insertion loss, reflections, crosstalk, etc.).
Clarity on signal quality parameters (e.g., eye diagram, jitter, frequency ppm, duty cycle, etc.) and how to measure them.
Familiarity with working in a lab environment and strong knowledge of using various equipment like DSO, Multimeter, Power supplies (e.g., idea about ESD, minimum oscilloscope/probe BW required for measurement, etc.).
Knowledge to understand board design from schematics (*.pdf file) and layout (*.brd file - using Cadence Allegro tool) (e.g., should be able to understand signal/power topology from schematics, should be able to locate test points in PCB for signal of interest, etc.).
Knowledge to assemble an x86 motherboard (e.g., connect SMPS, DRAM cards, PCIe AIC, display, other peripherals, etc. to the x86 motherboard).
Knowledge of board/chip bring-up flow (e.g., idea on list of items to verify before/after attaching chip to board, like verifying No-Stuff components, impedance of voltage rails, etc.).
Proficiency in Windows & Linux OS and Microsoft Office tools (e.g., in Linux: navigate folders, edit text files, move/copy files, SSH, execute scripts, etc.).
Familiarity with scripting languages like Python/Perl (e.g., idea about installing different python modules, execute python scripts, etc.).

Desirable:

Knowledge and hands-on experience on high speed SERDES IO (like PCIe, USB3, UFS, Ethernet, etc.) validation (e.g., eye measurement, JTOL testing, etc.).
Knowledge and hands-on experience of using equipment like BERT (Bit Error Ratio Tester), PCIe/USB3/UFS Logic Analyzer, etc.
Knowledge and hands-on experience on Silicon PVT characterization.
Knowledge and hands-on experience on board bring-up and testing.

Soft Skills:

Be an effective team player (e.g., volunteer to take up work, own up the task and approach folks to get things done, etc.).
Communicate observations/requirements in a crisp and straightforward way.
