Develop and execute test plans for high-speed SerDes interfaces
-
Design and implement production and characterization tests for SerDes IP and SoCs
-
Perform silicon bring-up, debug and characterization of SerDes blocks
-
Measure and analyse high-speed signals including jitter, eye diagrams, BER and channel performance
-
Develop and maintain automated test programs on ATE and/or lab-based test platforms
-
Collaborate with design and DFT teams to improve testability and coverage
-
Analyse test data to identify failure mechanisms, yield issues and reliability concerns
-
Optimize test time, cost and yield for high-volume manufacturing
-
Work with external vendors, foundries and OSATs during NPI and production ramp
-
Document test methodologies, results and best practices
Required Qualifications
-
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related field
-
Strong understanding of high-speed serial communication fundamentals
-

Knowledge of compliance testing for industry standards (PCIe, Ethernet, USB, etc.)
-
Experience with DFT features for SerDes (loopback modes, PRBS, on-chip monitors)
-
Background in signal integrity, channel modelling and equalization techniques
-
Experience with yield analysis and statistical data analysis
Soft Skills
-
Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
-
Attention to detail and strong documentation habits
-
Ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment
