Memory Electrical Validation Engineer
Astera Labs is a global leader delivering semiconductor-based connectivity solutions purpose-built to unleash the full potential of intelligent data infrastructure at cloud-scale.
Our class-defining first-to-market products based on PCIe, CXL, and Ethernet technologies deliver critical connectivity for high-value artificial intelligence and machine learning applications.
Our focus on customer-driven product definition and commitment to design solutions in the cloud, for the cloud, results in breakthrough execution and scale for our customers.
We are headquartered in the heart of California's Silicon Valley, with R&D centers and offices in Taiwan, China, Vancouver and Toronto, Canada, and Haifa, Israel.
The mission of this role is to develop and execute electrical validation tests to quantify parametric device performance and margins over all system conditions.
The validation team holds customers' requirements in the highest regard and is solely responsible for certifying a product's parametric conformance to this high bar.
At Astera Labs, we are looking for motivated Post-Silicon Validation Engineers to work on our game-changing portfolio of connectivity products for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning applications.
In this role you will formulate a comprehensive post-Silicon validation plan, automate the testing of ICs and board products, design experiments to root-cause unexpected behavior, report results and specification compliance, and work with key internal customers to quantify margins and ensure robustness.
Basic qualifications Strong academic and technical background in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
At minimum, a Bachelor's is required, and a Master's is preferred.
>=5 years experience supporting or developing complex SoC/silicon products for Server, Storage, and/or Networking applications.
Professional attitude with the ability to prioritize a dynamic list of multiple tasks, to plan and prepare for internal meetings in advance, and to work with minimal guidance and supervision.
Entrepreneurial, open-mind behavior and can-do attitude.
Think and act with the customer in mind! Proven track record solving problems independently, preferably as a tech lead Required experience Familiarity with DDR memory standards and experience in system testing, characterization, margin analysis and optimization Working knowledge of key, high-speed design blocks such as PLL's, DFE, Tx EQ Strong python scripting ability:
knowledge of object-oriented programming and basic dev ops using git for source control and collaboration Deep background in developing bench automation techniques, preferably using Python, with emphasis on execution efficiency, repeatability, and data analysis.
Proficiency using high-speed lab equipment such as BERT, Oscilloscope, and VNA Preferred experience Hands-on experience with signal integrity, especially as it relates to multi-rank DDR and DDR termination schemes Working knowledge of C or C+
for embedded FW Familiarity with PCIe/CXL compliance standards and ability to drive electrical compliance testing at industry workshops Experience working with DRAM memory vendors on DDR4 or DDR5 to identify issues and working with internal SoC HW/FW teams to improve memory calibration and tuning sequences Working knowledge of common serial data specifications such as I2C, SPI, etc Knowledge of memory subsystem compliance from a data integrity and RAS is a plus.
Knowledge of schematic capture and PCB layout tools from Cadence, Altium, etc.
Knowledge of simulation tools such as MATLAB, Keysight ADS, PLTS for data analysis and modeling of signal integrity issues We know that creativity and innovation happen more often when teams include diverse ideas, backgrounds, and experiences, and we actively encourage everyone with relevant experience to apply, including people of color, LGBTQ
and non-binary people, veterans, parents, and individuals with disabilities.
Recommended Skills Automation C+
(Programming Language) Calibration Computer Engineering Creativity Data Analysis Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
