• Establish and lead pre-silicon to post-silicon correlation strategies while managing technical data exchange with foundries and IP vendors.
• Design IP validation methodologies and manage the use of HVM lab equipment for complex IPs such as High-Speed SerDes, DDR/HBM, and System-Level Testing (SLT).

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8 years of experience in test engineering or product engineering.
• Experience with 3 of the following: Design for Test (DFT), hardware development/design, analog or mixed-signal validation, chip packaging technology, post-silicon characterization, test engineering, quality and reliability (Q&R), or semiconductor manufacturing processes.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
• 3 years of experience with silicon products leadership.
• Experience in Fault Isolation (FI), Failure Analysis (FA), and related IC and packaging failure mechanisms.
• Experience in statistical data analysis using tools like joint measurement planning (JMP) to identify commonalities and abnormalities.
• Experience with test hardware design and familiarity with methods for silicon qualification, such as High-Temperature Operating Life (HTOL) chambers, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), and Latch-Up (LU).
• Knowledge of Quality and Reliability (Q&R) guidelines and implementation techniques.
