Responsibilities
Perform thorough Lab characterization/Validation of Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES) IPs, such as PCIeG6 PHYs.
Write Inhouse tools/scripts to characterize the IP.
Manage bench test, debug, and characterization of analog/mixed signal on-chip circuitry (PLLs, Clocks, Data Converters and various I/O Interfaces).
Manage the development of benchtop electrical tests exercising on-chip circuitry through a combination of Joint Test Action Group (JTAG), Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART), Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), and other analog interfaces.
Draft and execute scripts to automate tests, extract results, and generate reports using database and investigative tools.
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
5 years of experience working with PLLs, PCIe, SerDes IPs.
Experience with lab automation software such as Python, and Matlab.
Experience with SerDes Debug.
Experience working with lab equipment such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), real-time scopes, Spectrum Analyzers, Vector Network Analyzers (VNA), or protocol analyzers.
Experience with board design and debugging.
Preferred qualifications:
Experience in PCIe compliance measurements using high-end equipment (e.g., Analyzer, Exerciser).
Experience in lab equipment for PCIe testing (physical or protocol level).
Knowledge of Tx/Rx equalization techniques and adaptation.
