Post Silicon Hardware Validation Staff Engineer

We are seeking an experienced hardware validation & characterization engineer to characterize and validate next-generation high-speed memory interface silicon. This role is highly hands-on and laboratory focused, requiring extensive experience with electrical measurements, silicon bring-up, signal integrity, and debugging of high-speed mixed-signal devices. The ideal candidate enjoys solving difficult hardware problems using advanced laboratory equipment and possesses a deep understanding of high-speed electrical interfaces rather than software development. Hardware Validation & Characterization Perform bench validation and electrical characterization of high-speed mixed-signal memory interface devices. Execute silicon bring-up and hardware debugging from first silicon through production release. Measure and characterize critical electrical, timing, jitter, voltage, and signal integrity parameters. Utilize advanced laboratory instrumentation including: High-bandwidth oscilloscopes BERTs (Bit Error Rate Testers) High-speed pattern generators Network analyzers Logic analyzers High-precision power supplies Apply advanced measurement techniques including: De-embedding High-impedance probing Differential probing Eye diagram analysis Jitter analysis Noise characterization Debug complex hardware issues involving signal integrity, timing margins, power delivery, termination networks, PCB effects, and package interactions. Correlate bench measurements with simulation and design expectations to improve silicon performance. Design Collaboration Work directly with Analog, Mixed-Signal, Digital, SI/PI, Package, and Product Engineering teams. Support root-cause analysis of silicon issues discovered during validation. Drive hardware-based debug using systematic electrical measurements rather than software-only analysis. Recommend design improvements based on laboratory characterization data. Data Analysis & Documentation Analyze characterization results to identify failure mechani
