Your responsibilities will include but not be limited to:

• Develop and document electrical validation requirements and tests for verification of Si designs.
• Create, define and develop electrical validation environment and test suites.
• Use and apply emulation and platform level tools and techniques to ensure performance to spec.
• Responsible for the development of methodologies, execution of validation plans, and debug of failures.
• Requires broad understanding of multiple system areas and requires interfaces with Architecture, Design, and Presilicon Validation teams.
• Investigate and resolve complex issues with hardware/BIOS/Firmware implementations and recommends solutions.
• Uses analysis to resolve electronic issues.

QUALIFICATIONS

Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Electrical Engineering degree or equivalent with 5+ years of experience in bring up and validation of automotive or embedded HW products.
• Experience in HW electrical validation (EV) of HW products and customer designs (automotive compute modules, system function blocks in customer designs).
• Pre-compliance measurements of high-speed interface parameters on USB, S-ATA, PCIe, SDIO, (LP/G)DDRx etc. interfaces.
• Environmental (e.g. thermal) validation and ESD and EMC pre-compliance/compliance testing.
• Experienced in high speed hardware design and layout methodologies
• Good knowledge and skills in embedded systems and automotive interfaces like: USB, PCIe, S-ATA, I2C, I2S, UART, SPI, SDIO, CAN, Ethernet, HDMI, DP, MIPI, LVDS…
