Job Overview
- The BDC Post Silicon Engineering group has an opening for a Digital Bench characterization Engineer. This group develops Test solutions for Design verification of Highly integrated SOC s (System on Chip) designed by Qualcomm. We work with Design, System, Program Management, Yield, Reliability and Manufacturing teams to Test, support and commercialize Qualcomm s products.
- As part of the Post Silicon Engineering group, you will be responsible for developing Test strategy & executing Bench characterization for leading edge LPDDR & PCDDR Subsystem components (DRAM, DRAM Controller, DRAM PHY, IOs, PLL/DLL, clocking architecture, Delay circuits, Power Distribution Network) and High-Speed IO interfaces (PCIe, USB2/3, Display Port, HDMI, MIPI-CSI/DSI, UFS & PLL).
- You will drive first Silicon debug, qualify semiconductor fabrication process, evaluate parametric performance of DDR & High-Speed IO IP s and perform failure analysis to root-cause a design problem.
- You with be working with IC design engineering, system engineering and Hardware applications engineering teams across the globe in a time critical environment.
Education Requirements
MTech, BTech or Equivalent in Electronics or Electrical Engineering with 1-3 years of related work experience
Skills/Experience:
- Solid understanding of Electronics engineering fundamentals, DDR & High-Speed IO circuit analysis techniques and Semiconductor manufacturing process,
- Good understanding of Test and characterization methodology of DDR and High-Speed IO interfaces
- In-depth understanding of Mobile & PC DDR 2/3/4 protocol, timing diagrams, HSIO IPs PHY level understanding and Electrical parametric compliance specifications (eye diagram, differential signaling, jitter analysis, Receiver-Jitter-Tolerance, signal integrity, transmission line considerations, de-embedding).
- Hands-on experience using Bench instruments such as oscilloscopes, J-BERT, network / spectrum analyzers, signal generators and Logic analyzers is a must.
- Solid software skills for writing and debugging Test code using C, C# or Python. LabView knowledge is a plus.
- Using CAD software such as Mentor Graphics DA or Cadence Allegro is a plus.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment with strong verbal and written communication skills.
