Core

Own high-speed memory bring-up, characterization, and qualification on flagship GPU, CPU, and SoC programs, root-causing marginality issues before software hardening.

Role type

Senior IC memory qualification engineer (post-silicon)

Builds

High-speed memory interfaces (GDDR, LPDDR, HBM) and qualification playbooks for GPUs, CPUs, and SoCs

Domain

Semiconductor hardware, high-performance computing, memory subsystems

Deliverable

production ML models

Required skills

GDDR/LPDDR/HBM protocol and physical-layer expertise, root-cause analysis of memory failures, hands-on lab instrumentation (oscilloscope, protocol analyzers), PCB stack-up and SI/PI knowledge, AI-driven workflow design for margin analysis

Preferred skills

Experience codifying reusable qualification methodologies, building agentic AI workflows for debug assistance, cross-boundary failure resolution across silicon/firmware/board

Technologies

GDDR, LPDDR, HBM, shmoo analysis, margin analysis, AI/ML for debug, protocol analyzers, thermal chambers

Responsibilities

Bring up high-speed memory interfaces from first power-on through full PVT characterization; Lead root-cause closure on multi-team memory failures spanning silicon, controller, PHY, and board; Design and deploy AI-enabled workflows for margin data analysis and failure signature detection; Partner with pre-Si architecture and DV teams to translate features into validation plans

Seniority

Senior, hands-on IC
