Description
We are seeking a highly skilled Mixed Signal Design Validation Engineer to join our team. As a member of our Mixed Signal Design Validation team, you will be responsible for the bring-up and characterization of high-speed mixed-signal circuits, in addition to performing system validation of electro-optical transceivers.
Your primary responsibilities will include building validation test suites for high-speed I/Os and analog circuits, conducting detailed characterization of analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit blocks across process, voltage, and temperature variations, and correlating the data with simulations.
You will also lead and drive the debugging of technically challenging issues by devising creative solutions to sophisticated problems, provide feedback to analog circuit designers regarding silicon performance, design quality, and margins, and build and run test scripts to optimize overall system performance.
In addition, you will lead focused discussions with cross-functional teams both within and outside the company to optimize the performance of mixed-signal circuits, develop tools and scripts to support electrical characterization and chip bring-up activities, and take ownership for training new engineers in validation practices.
To be successful in this role, you will need a BS degree or equivalent experience with 8 years experience or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, strong collaborative and interpersonal skills, and experience in silicon bring-up, debugging, and the use of lab instrumentation.
You will also need in-depth technical knowledge of fundamental analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits, ability to write scripts for validation, debugging, data analysis, and automation, and proficiency in Python, Git, MATLAB, and JMP.
If you have a comprehensive understanding of multi-protocol SerDes architecture, in-depth understanding of measurement theory and test instruments, and knowledge of optical transceiver performance, you will be well-positioned to excel in this role.
