Role Description

We are looking for a highly motivated Test Engineer to develop, execute and optimize test solutions for high-speed serial interfaces. This role focuses on validating signal integrity, performance and reliability of SerDes IP and products from silicon bring-up through high-volume manufacturing. The ideal candidate will work closely with design, validation and manufacturing teams to ensure robust, standards-compliant solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• 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

• Hands-on experience with SerDes testing and signal integrity concepts

• Experience using high-speed lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, BERTs, pattern generators and spectrum analysers

• Familiarity with ATE platforms and test development

• Proficiency in scripting or programming languages such as Python, C/C++ or similar

• Strong analytical and debugging skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering

• Experience testing multi-gigabit SerDes

• 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
