Responsibilities
- Execute silicon bring-up and validate boards for new ASIC revisions.
- Validate EVBs, reference designs, and optical modules.
- Perform full optical-module testing and integration with customer platforms.
- Develop and execute validation plans, test procedures, and regression tests.
- Debug complex hardware, firmware, and system-level issues.
- Validate power, clock, reset, and high-speed interfaces, including SerDes and optical links.
- Develop Python/MATLAB automation for validation, characterization, and regression testing.
- Operate and automate laboratory measurement equipment.
- Analyze BER, eye quality, signal integrity, power consumption, and thermal behavior.
- Work with hardware, firmware, and software teams to resolve system issues.
- Characterize analog blocks, DACs, ADCs, PLLs, power supplies, and monitoring circuitry.
- Review schematics and identify board-level issues.
- Prepare validation reports and document debugging findings.
- Support customer evaluations and reproduce customer-reported issues.
- Prepare and deliver product demonstrations for customers.
- Collaborate with customers, external partners, and vendors during integration activities.
