THE ROLE:
As a senior staff member of the product characterization team, you will evaluate the performance of AMD AECG products, develop, lead and characterize the next generation Memory Controller IPs.
THE PERSON:
- Strongly motivated individual from post-silicon validation background.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, demonstrated through technical publications, presentations, training, executive briefings, etc.
- Adept at collaboration and mentorship skills to train and guide fellow engineers and elevate the skills of the team around you.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Gain expertise into the AMD SoC architecture to characterize next generation Memory Subsystem (Controller, PHY and IO) for various supported protocols such as DDR4, LPDDR4, DDR5, LPDDR5, DDR6 and LPDDR6.
- Understand Pattern development nuances and guide the team for bench data collection and debug with lab instruments when necessary.
- Work closely with cross functional teams from design and firmware side to identify key new features, firmware stability and ensure proper test coverage for the same.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives on automated test scripts and test frameworks for efficient data collection, test-time optimization and data analysis.
- Stay updated with the latest developments in Memory specifications and trends to inform product strategy and direction
- Statistical data analysis to post process volume results for data correlation across Process corners and outlier analysis.
- Responsible for isolating the issue to a specific area such as test gaps, SW bug, silicon bug, or process deviation using bench setup and instill good debug practices in the team.
- Drive cross-functional discussions to address the issues uncovered from debugs and collaborate for ensuring screens are in-place for gaps identified.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Extensive years of experience into post-silicon validation with strong background on SoC validation and system level testing.
- Technical leadership experience leading a small group of senior engineers.
- Strong understanding of ARM SoC architecture and Memory protocols such as DDR5 and LPDDR5.
- Experienced on bench testing and debug skills with lab instruments usage.
- Proficiency in using test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and protocol analyzers.
- Experienced in Linux environment, data analysis and scripting languages (e.g. Python, Perl) for automation and data processing.
- Strong communication and leadership skills, including data presentation and ability to work well in a group environment that spans across continents.
- Experience with AMD/Xilinx Vivado and FPGA design flow is a plus.
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
- BS in EE, CS, ECE or related field MS preferred.
