Responsibilities

- Perform electrical validation for high-speed interfaces, including PCIe, Ethernet 10G/25G/100G/400G, DDR4/DDR5, SATA, and USB3.

- Perform signal validation for low-speed and control interfaces, such as I2C, SPI, MDIO, eMMC, GMII/RGMII, and related management buses.

- Execute signal quality measurements using oscilloscopes, BERT, network analyzers, and other signal analysis tools.

- Review and interpret electrical voltage, timing, jitter, eye diagram, and compliance requirements from IC vendors, interface standards, and internal design guidelines.

- Plan and execute power validation for multiphase power stages, DC/DC buck converters, PSU rails, and board-level power delivery networks.

- Perform power integrity validation, including ripple noise measurement, transient response, power sequencing, E-load testing, and PSU evaluation.

- Analyze SI/PI measurement results, identify potential root causes, and provide feedback to hardware design, layout, firmware, and vendor teams.

- Work with hardware and layout teams to define SI/PI validation plans, test coverage, test limits, and measurement methodologies.

- Generate validation reports to support project development stages, issue tracking, design reviews, and second-source verification.

- Develop and execute basic test scripts in Linux environments to support validation, automation, and data collection.

- Support debugging activities when signal or power performance does not meet specifications, and validate design improvements after corrective actions.

Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree or above in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.

- Minimum 5 years of experience in signal measurement, electrical validation, SI/PI testing, or hardware validation.

- Hands-on experience with oscilloscope operation, probing, soldering, and board-level measurement setup.

- Familiar with high-speed and low-speed interface validation, such as PCIe, Ethernet, USB, DDR, SerDes, I2C, SPI, MDIO, eMMC, GMII/RGMII.

- Able to independently execute signal validation based on test plans, specifications, and measurement procedures.

- Able to understand and interpret electrical specifications from IC vendors, including PHY, SerDes, ASIC, switch, CPU/SoC, and power IC vendors.
