High Speed IP Validation Engineer

Areas of Responsibility:

Develop and execute validation plans and test cases for high-speed IPs and interfaces. Perform post-silicon validation, characterization, and debug of high-speed interfaces. Use DSO, high-speed oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment for signal measurement and debug. Validate high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, USB, DDR/LPDDR, Ethernet, SerDes, MIPI, or similar interfaces. Analyze waveforms and correlate electrical behavior with protocol/functional issues. Develop and maintain validation scripts and test automation using Python, Shell, or other scripting languages. Perform regression testing, stress testing, corner-case testing, and compliance-related validation.

Document validation results, debug findings, failure analysis, and root-cause reports. Participate in lab bring-up, board bring-up, and silicon validation activities. Support customer/client technical discussions and provide detailed validation status and issue reports

Experience:

5 to 8 years of experience Experience in semiconductor validation, post-silicon validation, or high-speed interface/IP validation. Strong hands-on experience with DSO/high-speed oscilloscope. Good understanding of high-speed signal measurement and waveform analysis. Hands-on experience with one or more high-speed interfaces: PCIe, USB, DDR/LPDDR, etc and Other high-speed protocols/IPs Experience with protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, pattern generators, BERT, or similar validation equipment is an advantage.. Good knowledge of C/C++ and/or Python scripting for validation and automation. Experience with Linux-based validation environments. Strong debugging, root-cause analysis, and problem-solving skills
