Memory Electrical Validation Engineer

Job Description

Defines electrical validation strategy for IO interfaces especially on memory IP (GDDR6, GDDR7, LPDDR5, HBM and etc) to achieve optimized analog performance and meet product production goals. Validates circuit analog performance, electrical signal integrity compliance to industry standard specifications, and system level margin for stable operation and production target prediction. Conducts and participates in multidisciplinary research in the design, development, testing, validation, and utilization of IO and mixed signal architectures inclusive of industry standard datacom applications, custom Intel interfaces, and RF systems implementations. Develops procedures, analysis, and designs for validation, validation infrastructure, and systems margin validation. Analyzes internal and external customer returns with emphasis on improving yields and driving test escape closure. Applies and uses independent evaluation to select components and equipment based on analysis of specifications, performance, and reliability. Performs debug to identify root causes and resolves all functional and triage failures for electrical issues. Tests interactions between various electrical design features using validation infrastructure. Applies understanding of DFT and DFM to collaborate with architecture, design, and pre-silicon validation teams to ensure capability to validate and test IO architecture implementations. Prepares validation specifications, evaluates IP, and generates test reports. Ensures products conform to standards and specifications.
