## Description

You will validate SerDes IP that goes into products millions of people depend on, and the lab work you do here will directly shape what ships.

### Responsibilities

- Validate post-silicon SerDes IP products including PCIe Gen5/Gen6 and Ethernet across multiple process nodes and customer configurations

- Run compliance testing using PCIe official test specs, capture and analyze signal integrity measurements, and debug failures down to root cause

- Develop and maintain test automation scripts in Python, MATLAB, and C/C++ to drive lab equipment and process measurement data at scale

- Work directly with BERTs, VNAs, high-speed oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers to characterize analog performance of multi-gigabit serial links

- Collaborate with analog designers, digital designers, and applications engineers to reproduce customer-reported issues and validate design fixes in silicon

- Document test results, create characterization reports, and present findings to cross-functional teams and customers

- Support FPGA-based prototyping and early bring-up activities when new IP variants are being validated before tapeout

### The Impact You Will Have

- Enable Synopsys customers to ship products faster by catching and resolving SerDes issues before they reach production

- Improve IP quality and reduce customer support burden by identifying design weaknesses during validation that would otherwise surface in the field

- Build reusable test frameworks and automation that accelerate validation cycles for future SerDes generations

- Provide critical feedback to design teams that directly influences next-generation IP architecture and performance improvements

- Ensure compliance with industry standards like PCIe and Ethernet, protecting Synopsys reputation and customer trust

- Reduce time to market for high-speed interface IP by streamlining post-silicon validation workflows

- Contribute to the success of products powering AI infrastructure, data centers, automotive systems, and consumer electronics worldwide

### Requirements

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, VLSI, or equivalent hands-on experience

- 3+ years of post-silicon validation experience, specifically analog validation of high-speed serial interfaces

- Demonstrated experience with PCIe compliance testing and signal integrity measurements on live silicon

- Working knowledge of high-speed protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, USB, or JESD204, including hands-on bring-up and debug

- Proficiency with lab equipment including BERTs, VNAs, high-speed oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers, and a solid understanding of what each tool actually measures

- Strong programming skills in Python, MATLAB, and C/C++ for test automation and data analysis

- FPGA prototyping experience is a significant plus and will set you apart
