Job Description:

• The Role & Your Impact

  Join Altera’s post-silicon validation team in Bayan Lepas, driving the validation of timing and static/dynamic power models for our advanced Multi-Chip Package (MCP) FPGAs. In this role, you will bridge the gap between pre-silicon models and real-world silicon performance. You will develop validation pattern sets, execute complex power and timing characterization on ATE platforms, and directly contribute to optimizing silicon yield and speed binning strategies.

  What You Will Do:

• Power & Timing Validation Execution: Develop and execute post-silicon validation plans to measure and analyze static/dynamic power consumption, power domains, and complex timing parameters across advanced FPGA architectures.
• Validation Pattern & Test Development: Create, optimize, and debug FPGA validation pattern sets tailored for multi-chip packages (MCP) and core logic circuits.
• ATE & Platform Characterization: Drive test plans on various ATE tester platforms and bench setups to enable robust volume characterization and silicon bring-up.
• Simulation-to-Silicon Correlation: Analyze empirical silicon performance data to validate and correlate pre-silicon simulation and power/timing models against physical hardware results.
• Data Analysis & Binning Support: Conduct deep-dive statistical data analysis to identify performance trends, supporting product speed and power binning strategies to maximize efficiency and yield.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with global chip designers, software model engineers, and test teams to debug silicon anomalies, analyze material composition impacts, and drive issue resolution.

Qualifications:

• What We Are Looking For:

• Education & Experience: BS or MS in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related field with 3 to 6 years of hands-on industry experience in post-silicon validation, test engineering, or hardware characterization.
• Power & Performance Foundation: Practical experience in static/dynamic power measurement, timing characterization, and power domain analysis for complex ICs or FPGAs.
• Tester & Automation Skills: Hands-on experience with ATE tester platforms and proficiency in scripting languages (such as Python, Perl, or Tcl) for automated test execution and data analysis.
• FPGA & Digital Logic Knowledge: Solid understanding of digital logic design, advanced packaging (MCP), and programmable logic architectures.
• Analytical Mindset: Strong problem-solving skills with experience using statistical methods or data analysis tools to evaluate silicon data trends and drive product quality goals.
