Responsibilities
- Provide direct technical support to customers during silicon bring-up and production phases for high-speed SerDes IP.
- Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve complex interoperability and performance issues involving analog and digital design layers.
- Collaborate closely with internal analog, digital, and software teams to drive root cause analysis and implement solutions.
- Use lab instrumentation including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, BERTs, and network analyzers to perform hands-on debug and precision measurements.
- Interpret and simulate Verilog/RTL to understand and isolate digital design issues impacting silicon behavior.
- Analyze protocol-specific behaviors for PCIe and Ethernet during link training and operation to identify and resolve failures.
- Document findings and best practices, communicating technical insights clearly to both customers and internal teams.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical or Electronic Engineering or similar education with at least 5+ years of experience.
- Solid experience with electronics test and debug instrumentation including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, BERTs, and network analyzers.
- Strong understanding of high-speed SerDes applications, including analog and digital design interactions.
- Familiarity with PCIe and Ethernet protocols, especially the link training phases and common failure modes.
- Experience executing precision measurements and troubleshooting at the silicon and system level.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience interpreting and simulating Verilog/RTL for debug purposes is highly valuable.
- Practical knowledge of IC design and high-speed board/system bring-up is a plus.
Benefits
- Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits.
- Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings.
- Opportunity to be at the center of the action, resolving issues that keep products moving forward.
