SERVER, ELECTRICAL VALIDATION ENGINEER  

In this role, you will be part of a dynamic team performing electrical validation of Datacenter Server SoC Post-Silicon IO interface, in a way that is end to end customer focused, innovative, efficient and drives highest quality standards. It requires both pre and post Si engagement and close collaborations within and outside the team to ensure design and test content robustness, ultimately delivering highest quality products to customers.

• In this role responsibilities will include but not be limited to:
• Define and develop IO electrical validation requirements and electrical test coverages to guarantee compliance and success of the Server SoC devices at platform level.
• Develop IO electrical validation strategies plans and schedules by integrating different requirements from various engineering and business departments
• Driving exploration of IO electrical validation methodology platform and infrastructure enablement to improve process and throughput.
• Collaborate, review and influence design teams including hardware/packaging/board/platform during Pre-Si stage to ensure Pre-Si IO electrical simulation quality adhere to spec, to develop reference platform and to ensure validation hooks and dft availability.
• Hands-on measurement and characterization of Post-Si IO electrical interfaces performance using hardware lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, TDR, VNA, logic analyzer, BERTScope, probing stations and etc.
• Own, drive and debug Post-Si electrical bugs and performance marginality with hardware/BIOS/Firmware/Operating System implementations and recommends solutions.
• Support system and tester level validation teams to identify and close analog and electrical issues.
• Analysis and disposition of early customer returns to drive understanding of design marginalities or develop test content to screen these units where needed.
• As part of a highly technical team, you will have the opportunity to innovate on and establish new test methodology, as well as new test development process improvements. Drive test optimizations to reduce test cost, enhance product quality, improve efficiency and accelerate stability.

Minimum Qualifications

• 8 years of experience with:
