The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with DDR5 buffer of silicon bring-up and validation, including high-speed analog and mixed-signal characterization.\nThis position requires an experienced technical lead with a strong background in post silicon validation across multiple product iterations. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience of silicon bring-up and validation, including high-speed analog and mixed-signal characterization. . The candidate should be comfortable leading bench-level validation and characterization activities, driving debug efforts, developing test methodologies, and collaborating cross-functionally with design, system, and product engineering teams.\n Component Bench Validation and Characterization\nLeverage best-known test and measurement techniques-including de-embedding, high-impedance probing, and noise compensation-to address complex signal-integrity challenges as memory data rates continue to scale. \nSupport Design and Validation teams in the characterization of critical electrical and timing parameters for high-speed memory devices. \nCollaborate closely with designers and cross-functional partners to debug and optimize performance using exploratory, open-ended test approaches that extend beyond strict specification-driven measurements. \nData Analysis and Reporting\nSynthesize experimental results and systematically define subsequent validation and characterization experiments to fully isolate and understand complex issues. \nGenerate clear, consistent, and well-structured reports tailored to a range of technical and non-technical audiences, ensuring actionable insights and alignment across teams. \nDevelop and validate innovative applications of LLM/AI techniques to analyze large-scale validation datasets, generate effective visualizations, and reduce overall cycle time to final reporting. \nTechnical Communication\nEffectively document test methodologies, procedures, and assumptions to ensure results are reproducible, accurate, and scalable across validation efforts. \nCommunicate complex technical concepts with an appropriate level of detail tailored to each stakeholder, from deep technical audiences to broader cross-functional teams. \nCollaborate effectively with Validation Engineers across diverse geographic regions, languages, and technical backgrounds, fostering alignment and knowledge sharing within global teams. \n Required Qualifications:\nBachelor's / Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. \n8+ years of hands-on experience in high-speed Analog and Mixed-signal signal devices. \nStrong understanding of signaling levels, termination architectures, and signal integrity tradeoffs in systems. \nExpertise in using typical high speed interface test equipment (BERT, Scope, Compliance S/W). \nProficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python) for test automation and analysis. \nExcellent analytical and problem-solving skills. \nStrong communication and interpersonal skills. \nPreferred Qualifications:\nMaster's degree in Electrical Engineering \nExperience with advanced signal integrity measurements and applications for Design correlation. \nStrong understanding of memory interface architecture, interface protocols, standards and operation, preferably DDR5. \nRenesas is an embedded semiconductor solution provider driven by its Purpose, To Make Our Lives Easier.
